Speculation Who's next?

[Graz]

So now that Shakey has gone, who's coming in next?

Thoughts, suggestions and rumours here.

I'll start off by saying I haven't got a ****ing clue. Hopefully the owners do... Hopefully it's not Big Sam.

 

[City Fan]

David Wagner. He was my preference when we sacked Ranieri.

 

[alex]

Mancini

 

[homer]

Is Paul Ince free?

Is Paul Ince free?

No. Well, maybe. But no.

And just to get it out the way, neither are H from Steps or Dusty Bin. Sorry to disappoint.

If we've any sense we will try to lure Silva from Watford or Benitez from Newcastle. I'd be pretty happy with Dyche even though many wouldn't.

It'll be Sam Allardyce or Gordon Strachan and then the shitfest will really begin in earnest.

 

[Brown Nose]

Coleman early favourite. Allardyce second favourite.

Where are you looking?

Sky Bet has Allardyce favourite at 2/1
Pearson 3/1, Mancini 6/1, Coleman 7/1, Wagner 8/1, Pardew 10/1..... and Ancelotti 10/1! If only

 

[popillius]

Coleman. Because his record of top flight management is so fabul.... oh..... hang on....

Jesus that list is depressing. Throw money at Benitez - even we must be a better bet than Newcastle.....

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

We won't get Mancini now, same goes for any far-out ideas of landing Ancelotti. I think a realistic good appointment would be Allardyce.

Coleman hasn't cut the mustard at club level in the past. Seems an obvious choice.

 

[City Fan]

Coleman would be disastrous. He has been poor at every club level job he has had, and the only reason he has been successful with Wales is because he has one of the worlds best players playing for them.

They read them out on Sky. They also emphasised that 'sky sources' have made it clear that the 3/1 man in that list is definitely not in contention.

Mine too.

As I said at the time, I'd rather have an up and coming young manager than one of the same old faces that keep getting Premier League jobs without ever achieving anything. So I expect we'll end up with Pardew.

Completely agree. I'd take Dyche or Howe for the same reason over the likes of Allardyce, Coleman etc.

 

[Motown Fox]

Pearson to take over in the interim apparently I've just heard

 

[Miles Away]

It's got Pardew written all over it.

 

[Graz]

If Mancini is available, he's the one for me.

Rumours that he's unhappy at Zenit and wants out.

Could work very well for us and him.

I said when we hired Shakey that I think Mancini wouldn't have wanted to come here at that stage because we were in a shit position with no transfer window to help solve the situation and he wouldn't want the risk of being relegated with nothing he could do about it.

Think things are different now - alright we're in the bottom 3, but you look at our squad, how early we are in the season still, and the fact he'd have money to spend in January and I don't think too many people would see us as serious relegation candidates just yet.

 

[Borderfox]

Mancini or Ancelotti for me. Coleman the best Brit.
