Interesting to see Brunt in the dugout although I thought he was looking at player loans rather than being a coach? Also, where has Morrison been recently, no longer a coach?

Initial thoughts on this

I would ideally take someone who is available for two reasons. 

Firstly we are mid season and we haven't got time for a protracted negotiations with a prospective coach's current employers. Secondly there are always good coaches available and spending the compensation money on the squad is probably going get a better outcome than spending it on a coach particularly as there is a cap on the quality available to us as a Championship club.

Yet at the moment that list is an unfortunate combination of the unrealistic (Potter, Cooper and Tudor) or the undesirable (Robins, Beale and Lowe). This might be one of the very rare moments in the Head Coach market where we need to look at taking a coach from another club.

I dint know enough about Tudor but why is Coooer unrealistic?  He’s not going to get a Premier League anytime soon.

Let’s see who Nester can come up with but having consider all of the realistic options I’m currently leaning toward Cooper.

Nigel Clough would be a good appointment. Excellent coach/manager. Not sure he would be considered though he never seems to her linked to any bigger jobs these days.

Good Manager but walked out on us leaving us in the lurch, no going back.
Now who else did that very recently ?

Please no ex manager or ex player! Let's start afresh, we have new owners so hopefully they'll have new ideas. Tbh the only one who probably fits the bill is Robins as far as finance is concerned! Tudor or anyone else we've not really heard of or considered as fans makes it interesting!

Dood just tweeted:

Patel stood strong and they eventually paid the entire sum upfront!

That will help towards the next manager ??

Good night Baggies and have a merry Christmas!

Catch you all  🔜

Thank the stars. If their owner is as bad as made out then installments could have been painful

Only just caught up with this as I'm about to stuff my bird.

Good to read, Gazberg. I'm feeling strangely optimistic as much as I liked CC.
Have a lot of faith in Shilen's gang.

Merry Christmas to you and you other filthy animals!

Potter would be great. He was my choice a few years back but I think that ship has sailed for now. If he gets sacked after a poor spell at another prem club he may manage in the championship again but I don’t think it will be yet.

Tudor I think is too big a name too. He’s also very temperamental based on what I’ve just read about him. Quits a lot!

Robins could do a good job, and so could cooper but they are uninspiring and wonder if both are a bit worn at present. .

Think this one could be left field. The now hull gaffer would have been interesting if this was a few weeks sooner.

Rarely a clear and obvious choice for manager and there doesn’t seem to be this time either. I do think we will move quite quickly though

I bet Coventry fans said the same thing about Lampard before they got him. The manager is the single most important person at a club . We should spend the whole of the compensation on the new managers wages.

Agreed, unless we move to more of a Director of Football arrangement.  To be sure of a manager who's doing well, we need to be prepared to spend some of the compensation on compensating the club we nick him off.  Although we're no longer that great an attraction for a manager these days

Can't say I'm impressed by Cooper, he seems to lean toward inspiring the players rather than tactical method but perhaps I'm too used to CC and Sir GM. 

Good for Shilen for not getting pushed around over the money.  It did make the Corberan thread one of the longest about a single person in this site's history (not bothering to go and look)

I'm still wandering how much Nestor knows about EFL football.  There's aspects that cannot be read across from Italian leagues.

Robins; if you listen to their owner, his impact fell off a cliff after his coach/assistant manager left.
Mowbray; sadly he's had serious cancer and again is at the wrong end of his career.  We need a younger modem approach with an upside like CC.
Potter;too expensive and temporary for Patel IMO.

I like Rosenior but I think compensation will rule him out.  The sensible expensive option is Cooper. He has done well most of his career and knows how to coach players, but probably too expensive for Bilkul.

I expect an unknown quantity via the analysis tools used at Bologna that Nestor trusts. I also expect they'll make a good choice as we are now in professional hands once again.

It depends on the vision that the owners have for us really.

Are we going to revamp our squad in the mould of younger, energetic players who we can turn for a profit, then it has to be Mowbray or someone of his mould.

If we're plodding along with those between 27-32 and starting to turn past their best then Mowbray and his kind won't work and you're moving into Robins terrortry

I wonder if Robbie Keanes name will come up and how people would feel about him.

73% win percentage in 56 games during his first proper club job at Macabi Tel Aviv and won the league. Left due to politically / safety reasons it seems.

Surprised that Steve Clarke hasn’t been mentioned.  Has done a great job there and has “unfinished business” here

I remember Clarke's first season which was great but, forgive my memory, the 2nd seemed awful but am I right in thinking that was the season when Peace gave him Samaras Blanco etc??

Depending on the model we chose to run with and assuming we don't use our compensation for Carlos on a manager then Tony Mowbray if he is up for it, Steve Cooper I would be happy with, and if we could convince Steve Clarke (who could use his ex Chelsea links to get us some of there youngsters on loan) I would take him back instantly, Sacking Clarke was ultimately what led to our downfall.
If we can stump up Comp Roseinor
The Ex Dortmund Manager wouldn't come and I don't know enough about Tudor but if he says he plays attacking football which with the likes of MJ, KG, TF, Maja, AM and DF and even Styles is what should be able to do then I wouldn't be to unhappy if he was appointed

He was badly supported in that second season at a time when expectation levels after his first season were unrealistic.

I doubt there’s a single person left at Stamford Bridge from Clarke’s time there, likewise there’s hardly anyone left here from when he was manager.

Rosenoir only joined Strasbourg in the summer.

I strongly suspect that we could be selling one of two players for big fees in January. All part of the financial rebuild

No ex managers for me
My choices would be
Danny Rohl
Robins but only with viveash
Potter but don’t think he will come
Steve cooper

Some are unrealistic so I suppose the best option and who is available is cooper
