Who could be our next manager.

[splinter]

For me there's only one choice,










Alan Buckley.

Such a charming character.

This thread is truly making me laugh.

There is zero % chance of Ancelotti or Blanc coming. Literally not a prayer.

Lets get back to reality. If we chop Pulis, it means we get a manager who has already managed in the prem and likely failed elsewhere. Example, Pardew, Koeman, Pearson. Etc.

Lets be fair, a proven prem manager (there aren't many about) would move to Everton or would bide his time looking for a big job.

Or we give an unproven manager a try. People scoffing at McInnes and Potter, but who knows how good a manager they are until they are given a chance. The only way these people will get experience is if they're thrown in the deep end and they sink or swim. Nobody knew who Marco Silva was or Pochettino when he rocked up at Southampton. So yes, it is a gamble, and a major gamble at that.

Or we stick with Pulis, who IS proven. And will probably secure us the points to stay up. I've said it elsewhere, if you're going to chop Pulis you need to do it in the Summer and not mid season as like it or not, he's our best hope of survival.

Sorry, not this season he isn't. I think we are certain to go down if he remains.

Why not 123...other teams get them...

Because if your Ancelotti or Blanc, your going to be motivated by cash or by winning trophies, or by both. Clubs in the middle East and China can pay 5-6 times what we can, and in any case many clubs in our own league can pay much more than us.

And the best we can hope for realistically is a top 10 finish and maybe a shot at the league cup if we get lucky. Not really something they need or want on their CV...

We are a Premiership club with International players, some people like a challenge Blanc started low and became a great manager, in other posts I have stated that our owners would have to stand up and be counted, if they can't or will not do so but are willing to just work the cash cow then why the hell are sound minded people like baggie fans just giving their hard earned to Lai?

We can make or break him.
