Who would you want to replace Hyypia?

[WhingForPresident]

Pulis/Moyes obviously wouldn't come to us, doubt Sherwood would either. I can't think of one feasible target that would be worth the hassle and the huge pay-offs to appoint, and sacking the manager and his staff just a few months into their contracts would be an FFP-busting move. Can't see it happening any time soon.

A succession plan involves putting somebody in place to take over - how can a football club, unless they promote from within like Liverpool did in the 70's/80's have a succession plan

To paraphrase the great Don Logan: Not this time, Nathan. Not this time. Not this ****ing time. No. No no no no no no no no no! No! No no no no no no no no no no no no no! No! Not this ****ing time! No ****ing way! No ****ing way, no ****ing way, no ****ing way!

The club should draw up a short list of 5 managers and then let NSC do a poll to determine the winner. It's the only way.

We need passion. Someone who is going to be on the touchline screming his head off for 90+ minutes, not Nathan bloody Jones.

Give it to Calde with an experienced number two... could be fun!!

 

[thedeadone]

Someone with a proven track record at Championship level.

This!!! But he wont be going anywhere unless we are still in the bottom 6 in January!

Dave Hockaday.

I'm in, just to see the reaction on here....... The meltdown would be priceless - in fact the club should not sack Sami till Mar 31st, so they can announce it on April fools day

Far too sensible post to be on NSC at present !!

I dont believe any available manager who would actually join us, would even improve us.

 

[Brovion]

Yes and I hope he turns it round. But in any business you have to have a succession plan!

I guess part of that succession plan also entails budgeting for his compensation, a provision for any legal fees for any unfair dismissal action, and recruitment and/or compensation fees for his replacement.

Billy Davies !!

Billy Davies !!

Now that really would be "tear up the season ticket time"!!!

Exactly. These threads are always on a par with asking "which bird off the telly would you like to shag next?" It just becomes a wish list of the totally unobtainable, and the new guy never matches the expectations. Plus unless we're VERY lucky we'll be asking this question at least once more before the end of the season (working on the assumption that each manager gets 12 games to produce a silk purse out of a sow's ear before they too get the bullet).

Would only have to abandon the FBs pushed up to improve us, so don't agree. However, you are right none of those mentioned are likely to come.

Eddie Howe

Don't think Bruno would get much game time!

 

[Biscuit]

I'd go for Coppell if it was up to me.

I'm glad it isn't though, as I once wanted Jim Gannon in the hot seat.

 

[Justice]

I have always thought Chris Powell would of been a good realistic appointment for us in the summer oh well that ship has sailed.

 

[Postman Pat]

Brian McDermott.

 

[Silverhatch]

Eddie Howe

If Sami can't turn it round and the inevitable happens then Eddie Howe is a great shout. It would cost an FFP-busting fortune though.

Or Brian McDermott as a tried and trusted Championship winning/experienced manager.

Or wait for Sean Dyche if Burnley are stupid enough to sack him.

Shame on you NSC post #39 and nobody has mentioned Applethingy that was at Pompey.
