Four candidates

[saltnshake]

Down to four candidates for the managers position according to Dowling.

Wonder who they are?

Hughton
Cowley
Allardyce
Pulis

Or

Shan
Appleton
Brunt
Lai's second cousin's twice removed dog?

They're going to speak to them "in the next couple of weeks" but this doesn't necessarily mean we will appoint a new gaffa in two weeks time. Oh no, that would be too incisive and fast moving for Albion.

You couldnt make it up

1)Appleton
2)Appleton
3)Appleton
4)Appleton
to be appointed on the 1st of July so we don't have to pay any wages in June.

Had an experienced manager been recruited when DM was sacked we probably would have done better. Shan did well and credit where it's due, but he's not what we want and many decisions showed his inexperience. Not just the manager though but lack of quality and pace in the squad as Vile and Derby showed!

Lai out!

To my mind he is exactly what we want/need.

Didn't see any pace in that Vile team at our place. Sliow lethargic passing is what I saw. Which only flattered them when Brunt was sent off. Other than one worldy I don't remember Johnstone having anything of note to do.

Looks like
Hughton
Cowley
Michael O’Neil
Lee bowyer

I have heard Patrick Vierra mentioned. Of all of them I would take Cowley.

Well with Swansea (potter just agreed to join Brighton) and Middlesbrough both now looking for managers no doubt we will be left with whoever doesn't join either of them.

Personally I’d like an experienced but not archaic manager so its Houghton for me.

Don’t fancy taking a gamble on someone from lower leagues – just like the Peter Principle most get prompted and find their level of incompetence which may be just above the standard they are now. We still have some pulling power at the moment so why not use it

I still think Bilic would be awesome
He started off brilliantly at West Ham
Croatia were awesome under him
He plays football the right way
He’s passionate

Great fit I think

Passion does rub off on to the players - look at Klopp being one example. He would also kick arse which is another quality.

If we go for the cheap option of Shan or Appleton then my days are numbered watching this lot.

Lai out!!!
