Who should be the new manager?

[Scott7 6,582]

I have no clue whatsoever who should be the new manager. Rangers are long gone from hiring in the Souness/Advocaat Category which means Ancelotti must stay at Real for now and I have no knowledge of the lower levels.

 

Whoever is offered the job should have a consistent record. At the beginning of this season the chap at Aberdeen was a diamond and Gray at Hibs was a laughingstock out of his depth. Now look at them. (NB: This is not an endorsement of either)

I think Martin has built up a good body of work as a coach. 

 

I did try to be somewhat realistic.

 

Jaissle is in Saudi so we're not competing with the money but I hope he's looking to return to Europe some time in the future after pocketing as much as he can. Bielsa is unlikely. I'm just a fan of both. 

 

Martin and Motta are free agents. Motta was just sacked by Juventus, so maybe too much of a step down. 

 

Henriksen (Mainz), Nancy (Columbus Crew, MLS), Marsch (Canada), Rohl (Sheffield Wednesday) and Rystrom (Malmo) could be poached, maybe. 

 

McKenna is about to be relegated with Ipswich. He's not getting sacked, but could be poached. Although, he probably has enough credit to get a PL job.

 

Knutsen is at Bodo/Glimt, but seems to be averse to moving as he has a cushy situation.

 

Compo asked the question, I just provided some names that interest me. They're better than the same old names that get bandied about, like Warnock, Dyche and Lampard, surely?

 

Do you have any names? 

Thanks for that R, adding where these guys are puts a bit more perspective on it and I agree that from the looks of it we should be an attractive options for that list given their current employers. I also agree that the usual lazy names that get banded about like those you mention are uninspiring also. I dont have any names myself, I dont have the time to watch a ton of football other than our games and some EPL top games and some Champions League so dont really see any managers that could be potential suitors. Although names I would suggest would likely be awful anyway as I didnt want Walter first time or McLeish and they both went on to prove me completely wrong! I did fancy PLG as well and that didnt turn out well. I think im pretty much in the camp that as long as I dont know the guy, and it isnt a staunch appointment, then I will be happy to give the guy a chance. I am much more comfortable now I understand the Park family will have no influence on the appointment!

Bielsa would be excellent watching Leeds when he was in charge was always a delight.

I think there will be a few of us in this camp

As long as its not a total stab in the dark like a Pedro Caixinha then I agree

I suppose if Ferguson was to win all games he'd have to be considered

Marco Rose has been sacked by Leipzig.

For a reason probably.

Unless we have a very bad run of results between now & the end of the season I’d expect BF to be given the job on a permanent basis next season.
