Unlikely Next Manager?

[Ellis_D]

Yes, as the title suggests, the two choices are unlikely, but I'm drunk, p1ssed off and tired. Crap again tonight. Although we huffed and puffed, we did bugger all. Should have equalised, terrible miss, but anyway......

Sam Allardyce...... Yes, why the fack would the ex-England manager come to Rotherham? Why indeed? Almost no chance, yes. BUT, who in the Premier League is going to take him now? He's more likely to go to someone like Derby. Or maybe he will never manage again, just retire on his millions. Whatever. But if Tony Stewart wants to make good on his promise to try to get to the Premier League, he should at least make the phonecall tomorrow. Allardyce, (YES it's spelt Allardyce, and I know that will cause huge problems for people on this board who can't even spell Steve EVANS or NEIL Warnock correctly) is unlikely to want to come to us. But his stock is low, he would sort us out, absolutely no doubt about it. Tony Stewart should offer to make him the highest paid manager in our history and give him total control over team, tactics, transfers, scouting, THE LOT. Big Sam would sort us out.......

Okay, I know, highly unlikely. But if you don't ask, you don't get, and like I say, he isn't going to have a stream of clubs lining up now.....

So more realistically, Nigel Pearson. A fantastic manager. But it hasn't worked out for him at Derby. It happen sometimes. Most managers have had a poor spell at one club, and there can always be mitigating circumstances. I'm quite sure he would get a lot more out of our players than Alan Stubbs has. And before we would have had no chance for him. Now though, he has taken a top Championship side to third bottom before he got the boot. So we might just, JUST have a chance.

If both of those fail - and Tony Stewart should work BLOODY hard to make sure they don't - it's time to go back to Steve Evans. The haters can fack off, we never should have got rid in the first place. We need a manager who gets the best out of our players and has them running through brick walls.

Please, Mr Stewart, no more stupid appointments........

mmmmmmmmmmm, some good shouts there. Big Sam, would want more in wages than we spend, Pearson,.. good but like a bomb waiting to go off...

Maybe, if Ts gets rid nearer Xmas, then him at Scunny seems to have got them playing well, but no experience at this level, but then we won't be here much longer.....

Well clearly Big Sam wouldn't be paid what England do, or even what Sunderland did. But that's the point, he is unlikely to get employment elsewhere. If Tony Stewart is astute (I know, I know) he could explain all this to Allardyce and his agent. Accept a contract with us until the end of the season. You won't get paid as much as you are used to, but it's still more than we have ever paid a manager. Save us from relegation, his stock rises. He could then possibly go on to a Premier League club, or a top Championship club. It's win-win for everyone. I repeat, he is going to struggle to get employment elsewhere now, but he would definitely bloody save us!

Pearson, again, I am sure he could save us. I know everyone expected him to do much better at Derby, but sometimes things just don't work out.

...i share your optimism.....UTM

Big Sam could certainly teach us a trick or two in the transfer market (allegedly or should that be allardycedly )

I'd rather go for the Italian bloke Allardici! Seriously, though I'm not a particularly moral person ( although my many admirers would say different) but for my club to see a loud-mouth, avaricious buffoon as our saviour is depressing. As Deano once famously said about the possibility of Evans becoming our manager, "Over my dead body."

I find the whole idea of going through another managerial search totally depressing and then when we appoint one I find the whole idea of him being crap again even more depressing. Isn't it fun supporting RUFC

There's no way he would come here, unless he'd been out of work for 12 months or so, the guy has some pride!

We are in a position where we can only attract chancers like Stubbs, who have a higher oppinion of themselves than everyone else, or, managers who have been round the block a few times.

Any decent up and coming manager would be crazy to come here.

....best and only chance is SE returning

You're up very early or very late(?); must be something juicy on the surveillance cameras! is gm-gm right? Can't see Evans coming back unless and until TS explains why he left in the first place. Imo problems go deeper. We need to plan for a few years and we need to put some really money in for both transfers and wages. My suspicion is that TS will prefer Plan B, ie a return to the lower leagues and promises of jam tomorrow. It's no fun supporting RUFC atm but luckily I have several other clubs including Man. City, Barcelona and Northampton.

Stubbs to stay
