    Corberan for me. Dyche second. Worth noting that Dyche is 2/1 with the bookies.

    I get the doom and gloom, but I don’t think the side is anywhere near as bad as it’s been made out. We should have been competing for play offs this season with a decent manager.

    We have a u23 side that is performing well and won PL2 trophy last term. It’s criminal to think some of the outstanding lads aren’t getting a look in.

    I actually advocated Val as well lol.
    Corberan is the only one who plays football and that is what we have been missing. I also think our youngsters would get a chance with us instead of going on loan.
    Dyche is waiting for the Leicester job, Carrick will probably go to Boro.
    Nobody else on the list gets my pulse racing.
    I am surprised our recruitment system doesn't look at the continent, it just picks the same old face's off the has been merry go round.

    Plus Des, at 39 years of age, he could probably play himself. He is youngish so can't tag him as a Dinosaur...

    I like Corberan as he was highly regarded under Bielsa and did wonders at Huddersfield. Young coach with vision and should also give some of the youngsters a vision to the first team which Bruce failed to do!

    I wouldn't trust Gourlay not to eat all the pies in the ground let alone select the right manager and here lies the problem!

    When you think logically about our vacancy we should remember that their are only 92 League clubs.

    Out of those we are in the top 25 when it comes to size and attendance I would guess.

    In terms of history we well within the top 20.

    Our potential is to be an almost constant top flight club.

    I’ve said for a long time that we should aim to be the “Villareal” of this country but at the moment Brentford are taking that spot.

    Our club is a very attractive proposition, make no mistake, the issue is obviously Lai but irrespective of that the right person would make a go of this.

    I would love to see us with a manager who’s sole ambition is to be Albion manager, someone who does what Gradi did at Crewe for 25 years ( minus the kiddie fiddling culture )

    I’d love to see someone like Brunt get the job and state that this is going to be their life’s work given the chance.

    We are still one of the best opportunities in football for both a manager and the right owner.


    Or would you prefer to manage Rochdale?

    As a Lions fan I can tell you Gary Rowett he has no interest to be your Manager, he has just signed a long contract for the Lions, has a great relationship with Chairman John Berlyson who like myself is a former Marine. Don't think he would fit in with your Chinese paymasters. You have had our best player Jed Wallace so why are you down the bottom there.

    HI, I wish we had Chinese pay masters, our owners owe us £11m they have took out of our club.

    Because of a s hit Steve Bruce! Our chinaman would not pay compensation anyway Claw as he’s a tight c unt!

    Love Wallace by the way as a grafter. Would like Corboren who did great at Huddersfield last year!

    Hope you give Wallace a decent welcome in a couple of weeks!

    I like Rowett as a bloke and he works miracles with few resources.

    Under Lai any of them will fail.
    If he’s interested and keen, Rowett would be a decent shout.
