The Official Next Manager Discussion Thread

Just got a text from a mate who's a QPR fan saying Neil Warnock isn't attending their game vs Boro tonight as he's at MP having an interview. Really not a fan, far worse than Pearson. Horrible little man, really hope it's not true.

that sounds like a wind up to me

Officially it's for 'personal reasons'.

Steve Holland  now second favourite with the bookies to be new boss of Fulham.
Anybody know anything about him?

The only one I know is assistant coach at Chelscum. Couldn't be him could it?

I wager that Clarke gets the elbow the minute we hire a new Head Coach / Manager

Warnock said yesterday that he is not interested in day to day management role anymore, but would prefer him to Pearson. But truth be told I hate both of those plus Harry

Simon Peach tweeted he has heard the same.

100% bonus's seriously they are having a laugh. these people are so over paid

...what was the sense in firing KS with no one lined up ?

I apologise in advance if I've got the wrong person, but didn't you describe the Club's treatment of Kit as 'disgusting'?

Wouldn't that 'disgusting' treatment have been even more so had the Club gone behind his back, lining up its next manager while pretending to his face that he still had a chance?

Whatever you feel about the timing of his sacking, at least the Club acted decently in that it was not two-faced. Had we won 5-2 against Brum, clearly Kit's role as Fulham manager (however tenuous) would have carried through to tomorrow.

Indeed, had our new manager been announced within hours of Kit's dismissal, you would doubtless have added 'dishonesty' to your list of 'disgusting' behaviours on the part of the Club.

As it is, are you not being hypocritical?

What's done is done,in the past.still lookin forward to Mk dons tomorrow and a victory

Pearson was wanted 1st by Fulham along with his 2 assistants, but talks broke down when it was found out to expensive to get them both away from Liecester. By all accounts, both assistants are on performance related salaries, and stand to double their wages with Liecester currently sitting 3rd in the Premiership.

[MJG]

So next question would be do they want to move anyway?

Scraping bottom of the barrel then?

The Steve Holland link is interesting for I've only seen his name linked once, within a sentence on the Daily Mail I believe, "Fulham have also considered Chelsea assistant manager Steve Holland and Maccabi Tel Aviv Slavisa Jokanovic."

The Steve Holland link interests me, he's certainly a coach, and he currently dual-works as the Assistant First Team Coach at Chelsea as well as being the Assistant Manager of England's U21 group. However, Steve Holland's career started and grew at Crewe Alexander, rising through the coaching ranks to the role of Academy Director and he was taken under the wing of legend Dario Gradi, and Crewe actually prepped Holland to be the successor in charge of the football - as he jointly worked as the Academy Director and in position as First Team Coach under Gradi as Gradi was prepping for a role as technical director.

He coached Chelsea at Reserve level from 2009 to 2011 when he was then promoted to Assistant First Team coach by Andre Villas-Boas and has been in that role ever since - through Di Matteo and Benitez, then Jose's return. He's won everything since being promoted in those four years; his first team coaching honours nicely reads: FA Cup, Champions League, Europa League, League Cup, Premier League.

There's not much info into his coaching qualities, style and philosophy, I feel it important to note he was part of the England U21 set up that failed miserably at the past summers' recent U21 European Championships, finishing bottom of the group despite having Butland, Chambers, Stones, Ward-Prowse, Kane, Berahino, Redmond, Ings and more very good players (didn't mention Hughes, Chalobah, Keane, Lingard, Loftus-Cheek).

Said before, I'll say again. The club is turning into a joke

Jokes when Avram Grant turns up.

Load of money going down on him to be our next boss at the bookies :022:

[westcliff white]

Doesn't make sense if we want someone with championship experience as per Riggs interview
