New manager, your preference

Ok we have had two Latin managers, neither of whom had any experience of the very very competitive Championship, although both did pretty well but no cigar at the end of a Championship season

So do you want another foreign rookie with a good background at a top club starting his managerial career? Or maybe an English coach such as Clement but still a Rookie. Or is it time to listen to Ernest and go for a tried and tested English manager with experience?

Poll to follow

I really don't like these options you've provided. So I'm not going to bite.

Anyone that plays fast attacking football please couldn't care less about anything else.

I'd go with: anyone that can combine the following three factors:
-- a solid defence
-- possession-based football
-- fast, attacking football on the break.

You HAVE to trust TB and the senior management team. It's their money and jobs on the line.

If the appointment annoys Ernest, Kevtherev, Mutts Nutts and Footsoldier, I'll be happy.

We need a new poll option

That wouldn't fit in with someone to take forward the "project". Completely opposite to how OG played us.

I trust TB too, but that doesn't mean whomsoever appointed i am the happiest with. I do like the romancing mystery of those from overseas, but i wouldn't squawk with distress over a chap from these waters as long as his intentions are ones that stick to our cosmopolitan identity rather than the rebirth of one as purely physical scrappers.

All of this.

Clement fits the bill, and more importantly, wins me cash.

So if we play fast attacking football but lose every game 3-2 because we don't defend you'd be on board with that?

B.W. · May 29, 2014

Trusting Tony et al to make the right choice. If it's Nathan Jones, they will, instead, have made an enormous mistake.

With(out) wanting to blow me own trumpet: see (my) post 21.

No German option in the poll?

withdeanwombat · May 29, 2014

Of course I trust TB, and if he picks somebody who has had experience at Liverpool, Benfica, Valencia, Al Ahly, Real Sociedad, Tenerife and Estudiantes Tecos I'll trust him even more.

Woah where did the Mr P link come from?

Worried Man Blues · May 29, 2014

Whomever, I hope he's on a 12 month contract I don't want it to get boring............

maltaseagull · May 29, 2014

I trust TB so whatever he decides will be perfect - for at least the first 3-4 games (got to give the bloke a chance)

How can you be sure that appointing Nathan Jones would be a mistake? And I'm looking for facts here, because you stated it as a fact.

MJsGhost · May 29, 2014

My preference of the bookies' favourites: Tim Sherwood (don't like him as a person, but there are worse out there in that sense. If a manager who has just managed a 6th place prem finish is happy to come to us, I think we should be jumping at the chance...)
Sensible, (hopefully) obtainable option: Derek McInnes (has stated he's staying at Aberdeen - but don't they all?)
FLAIR option: Clarence Seedorf (Player Manager)

Nightmare option (IMO): Phil Neville

Here's what I've been able to divine by combing the threads..

Because he was a cock when he was with Yeovil.
And he's Welsh.
And he's somehow connected with Mustelidae, like ferrets and weasels, in what way I am not sure.

Commander · May 29, 2014

It all depends who is available. I don't care what nationality he is, he just needs to be the best man for the job.

Saying that, I think we should go German this time.

I was being a little more cryptic.
