Neil or Robins are good shouts - proper, decent football managers with Championship experience. Would SR pay the money to get them though? I genuinely think a revitalised Ralph would come back and do a great job. A wild card would be Gareth Southgate - would he be tempted to look at it as a long term ‘project’ (although hate that word!) of building the club back up.
Just back from the match. Just a complete shambles. The club is broken. I was sat in the Kingsland and so many left after Hulls second goal and didn’t come back. We have to get a ‘proper’ experienced manager in now to give these players a big kick up the backside. Get in Tony Pulis and we at least go to Pompey and make a fight of it and avoid getting beat.
Absolutely appalling -Sport Republic have to go. They have presided over the worst period of our history, every decision they have made has been a shambles. The Branfoot era was bad but at least the players were limited but put in a shift and actually showed a bit of passion for the club.
One person totally left field and I only say this as I have just finished his autobiography is Duncan Ferguson. He worked under some top managers at Everton (including Ancellotti and Koeman) and they were very positive in his coaching/man management. Did well when he was caretaker manager for Everton and also at Inverness under really difficult financial circumstances.
It seems to be our best managers have been the ones who were top footballers when they were playing - Bally, Strachan, Hoddle, Koeman, Poch so I wonder if Viera, Carrick or Gerrard would be a good shout and could work.
