What do people think of Corberan? 

Generally well regarded, but didn’t do so well at WBA, and not pulling up any trees at Valencia. 

Maybe he’ll bring Bielsa in as his #2 next season? 😂

Not for me.  Hipster’s dream though.

Dont really understand the Eckert hate on here. Suspect he doesn't get the job and he's not my first choice but a manager delivering wins in this league is just getting dismissed again on here for some reason

Heard from opposite end of ground

I've spoke to people in both corners of the ground yesterday and can assure you it wasn't heard by everyone. Both the away fans and Itchen corner think Northam has been quiet this season, and yesterday.

Odds check:

Rodgers, Carrick and corberan shortening.

Eckhert, Martin and O'Neil lengthening.

I would be happy with any of that top 3.

Corberan Is an exciting young coach, did ok at WBA, but would he have the energy/motivation to get cooking with us the day after being sacked by his current employers? 

I like Carrick a lot, but Rodgers would be first choice, if he’s interested we should be going all out for him

That’s good mate but as I was in the ground, in the Itchen/Chapel corner, and heard at least three renditions of the song clearly, i’d say it was heard in the ground.

I like Corberan, and in a way I think he’d be a decent option if we were promoted to the PL but not so much one to get us there. Very, very defensive minded, maybe an argument to say with a better squad (like ours) he’d loosen the shackles a bit but i’m not convinced personally. I think he’d be ideal to try and make a newly promoted team hard to beat and grind out points.

Alright, I'll get my ears tested

We’ve conceded 31 shots to qpr and sheff weds. Not convincing at all and we’ve given 3 stand in managers jobs before gray, Wigley and selles and been a disaster. Still was I experienced and he’s also younger than him without his experience so no thanks.

Its not hate. Its being realistic with what we've witnessed so far.

We got battered by an average QPR team and were very lucky to hang on. And as for yesterday, it wouldnt take much coaching to beat Wednesday. He may have potential, but he hasnt managed at senior level. We've tried the caretaker to permanent boss experiment previously with no success.

Interesting though, Eckert was assistant to Patrick Vieira at Genoa. With Vieira now available we could see that pairing again

As others have pointed out, we don’t have a great record of caretakers then being appointed permanently.  Gray, Wigley and Selles were all unsuccessful after promising starts.

There’s plenty of managers with experience, some in this league now or until the weekend, who would love a couple of wins like we’ve had this week and would lap it up as well. 

I agree that we’ve not been great, but given we’ve shown quite a lot in the last two games that we hadn’t shown this season already (willingness to defend our box properly and a ruthless streak at the other end) and we’ve played worse teams than QPR and not won this season and we never looked like losing on Saturday either, I think the idea that him carrying on is a ‘job for the boys’ or ‘brain dead’ is a bit of a over reaction. 

I’m sure we’ll get someone experienced, progress up the league with flowing football whilst playing 4 at the back and everyone will be satisfied though.

Reckon its a Brendone deal...

His football is absolutely dire. Its just anti football. He pretty much always sets up to counter whoever he is playing and nullify their gameplan - at all costs. Creating an attacking and pleasing to watch style of football - a very distant second.
