Still how he went about it Mick a bit like mowbray sidewards backwards little penetration mowbray was more successful at it I grant you though and a coach as you rightly say can only work with what he I herits in the first instance,so could this squad step up to a more proactive possessive style? Doubtful iny opinion as its not what Pulis was trying to build
Big Sam won't come - something in the dim and distant past still rankles with him wrt us. Koeman won't come - wants a bigger club. Wilder, McInnes, Michael O'Neil all unproven and a risk. Probably would come down to Pardew or Pearson - not even sure Pearson would come given his sour departure with Robbo. Wondered about Martin O'Neill or Strachan - both left failed national team campaigns. The former might be interesting - can drop Roy Keane though.

I feel like Bristol City's Lee Johnson would be worth investigating. They've done some shrew business down there and he seems like he's had a decent career so far. After losing Kodjia to us they seemed to go into a tailspin and it looked like he'd lose his job. But he steered them from relegation and so far he's made a couple of decent signings and he has them in the right half of the league.
Good luck.
Same thing that makes everyone interested. Money talks.Quote:

By the way Pardew is now 1/6 on with some bookmakers. Seems to be a foregone conclusion.
My first reaction was it was an uninspiring choice, but I'll always give a manager a chance. Lets hope he can make us a bit more attractive on the eye
The thing with this is it's so 'old hat' and predictable...where are all the clubs now that he has been involved with, Palace, Toon, W Ham and Charlton. I don't remember him leaving any kind of legacy when he left them...Quote:

He is currently at Fulham where he had an excellent season last year, they have not done quite as well this season & he has had a falling out with the club for forcing players on him in the summer who he didn't want & turned out to be crap, so would probably be up for getting out of there.
As for the rest of the names I've heard banded about the problem with most available managers is they are available for a reason, I would prefer to go for a good championship manager than a failed premier league manager, If we get a younger manager who does well and gets poached then at least it will be because he has improved us.
Big Sam - Not that fat dingle please - Just a Pulis clone who likes his players to dive
Pardrew - Better style of play, but would probably get us relegated
Koeman - lots of noises come out of Everton & Southampton that he did not do his homework on opposition & seemed disintrested in training.
McInnes - Did poorly at Bristol City, but it was a club that was a mess at the time, Done Ok at Aberdeen but not really pulled up any trees (has kept finishing 2nd with the second best team in the league), think he could do a good job with us though.
Wilder - Could be good, but a Sheff Utd fan through & through. if any of us got the chance to manage West Brom & get them up the league would we leave?
Óscar GarcÃ*a - Likes to walk out of clubs when the going gets tough
