The Official Next Manager Discussion Thread

The fact that this monster thread is off the front page (or was until this post) shows that even we have got bored by the wretched, meandering saga of ineptitude. 

Probably. Although I'm not sure if you are referring to our managerial quest or the quality of the postings.

I would never disrespect the sterling contributions of my fellow posters.

Jolly glad to hear it.  :54:  Me neither.
(Ooops. Excuse me for a moment. I must sit down in this bucket of water. My underwear seems to have spontaneously combusted.)

Incidentally, I think you have hit on the ideal title for when the history of the past few years of Fulham FC comes to be written.

Part I -    'The Great Escape'
Part II -   'The Road To Hamburg'
Part III -  'The Meandering Saga Of Ineptitude'

Perfect summation of the last 4 years

I generously waive my copyright but I don't see the Club using it, somehow.

Has previous experience getting promotion from the Championship with Burnley, is managing in the MLS currently so would I assume be within budget and realistic to get - I am pretty sure it is their off season now so more likely his club would entertain it.

He might even be aware of a few cheeky bargain signings that we could get in Jan!

Not seen him linked to us anywhere mind, but would be worth consideration over some of the names being mentioned surely?!

[Asotosyios]

No

[MJG]

No

[J]

Ha OK is that simply because you don't like him? Or do you feel we are going to get someone better?

[snarks]

I'd rather have Gus Poyet or Tim Sherwood than coyle

[Steven Ageroad]

Huw Jennings and Steve Wigley to sort out the management in the mire that is Fulham.
Nogood "Sun headline leading to odds on Wigley, isit" Boyo

With Pearce as his assistant?!

The People reporting today that one of of the factors why Clarke turned us down was the possibility of us having a transfer embargoe and not being able to strengthen in January.
Could well put off other targets we go after.

Di Canio anyone? Certainly passionate and would get the lads fired up.

Glad he did then, we want a coach to improve what we already have not go out and buy another new team like Redknapp

Indeed, but he is also a corner flag short of a football pitch, and I would err on the side of caution.

Yes him and Rigg wouldn't clash at all

[res]

 I'm not implying that he should be given the job, but he talks sense in pre and post match interviews. Particularly impressed by him passing over the 2 non penalty decisions rather than giving those as being  the reason for not winning. Also thought his substitutions made sense although I accept the first one was to correct a start team selection mistake.

[fulhamben]

Anyone who picks defenders in midfield will never get my vote. Especially as it flopped so badly the week before

[Fulham76]

Rigg was adamant our new manager/head coach would have plenty of experience, which grant doesn't. So if Rigg was being honest grant won't be our new manager.

[leonffc]

If that idiot is still in charge for the Brentford game I'll stay at home. I'm not travelling to see a team put out by that p****
