Unsy mate. If you had to choose it would be Rhino. No big manager will be interested. We need a stopgap until the end of the season and Unsy would do that just fine.

I'd rather we go the United/Chelsea route and hire an interim coach to cover the end of the season allowing more time and focus on someone more permanent rather than hire from within

Apparently not as according to some, if we just appoint Mourinho or go after Simeone, managers with pedigree, then we will be right up there challenging for stuff. Its not as easy as just getting a top manager

Not at all. But I’d hazard a guess you’d have a better chance if long term success

Had less than a 30% win rate at each of his last 3 jobs. Completely finished

Yeah, but he made big headway at West sham. They were a shambles when he went in, and we gave them a kicking. By the end of the season they were comfortably mid-table and gave us a kicking in return.

Am I really seeing shouts for Unsworth, he is useless

At the moment what we need, in my opinion, is for someone who can come in, put a structure in place, get the players hungry and fit and get in a winning habit by beating the teams we should be beating. Moyes would be good at bringing that stability. If he can not then push on, even despite the new resources, then we could get someone else in who could build on the foundations l. We were so close under Bobby, and if we had a better manager we would probably have kicked in and be in Spurs position.

But we didn’t.

We are simply never going to agree that bringing Moyes back is a good idea. To me, it's like the managerial equivalent of re-signing Rooney. Disaster written all over it.

Each to their own though.

The difference is, as a player you decline physically and lose your skills over time. In theory Moyes should be a better and wiser coach after his misadventures. Management is a mental discipline, where experience actually makes you better, if you have some ability and keep your hunger to succeed.

Brands would probably do a better job himself as caretaker

Moyes and Dyche as well

Quite a marvellous read

He has never been a coach, as far as I understand. A career football executive

Personally I think it’s high time we see how Bill performs in the dugout. He is quite a performer, I understand...

I could handle silva having the odd blip if we had seen some progress this year. The frustrating thing is our performances have gone backwards.

If silva goes then all the other options are gambles. We need someone to build an identity again - I imagine brands will have his own ideas - but looking around it’s hard to pinpoint an outstanding candidate... personally I like the look of what Eddie Howe has done at Bournemouth - can he translate that and progress at a bigger club? Debatable.

Years of mis management through the club are coming home to roost. We have ridiculous amounts of deadwood to ship out whilst also needing to progress quickly with new signings. It’s a tough job...
