Murphy made as much contribution as a traffic cone!

An incredibly poor player unfortunately. Awful vision, decision making and no end product. He’s McClean with a bit more pace and less bottle. Thank god we get to send him back to Newcastle in the summer.

I'm not sure he's any quicker than McClean. Other than that you're spot on (IMO). He's a wimp of a footballer. I'm not a fan of him or Montero.

Jimmy isn't the answer to being next coach, like Darren he hasn't got the tactical nouse to be top manager. Ex Fulham boss for me is stand out candidate.

I don't think anyone is disputing that.

Having said that, I believe he should be given until the end of the season, regardless of how he does - and then we look at long-term prospects in the summer.

Someone has said that we need a new manager (possibly foreign) with contacts (outside of England). Pick and choose players who will suit us.

We have a DoF who is responsible for identifying players.

At the moment, we don't know what division we'll be in. A re-build in the EPL will look a lot different from a re-build in the EFL.
Surely, that will determine the level of Head Coach we have?

I note that Tim Sherwood has entered the betting with SkyBet at 10/1

Not the Head Coach I would choose.

With the run Barnsley have been on to pull away from Pompey and Sunderland in the rave for Championship promotion, should we be looking at Daniel Stendel? Young German manager, good coaching upbringing in Germany.

Is Jokanovic doesn't work out and if we don't have any obvious candidates, I reckon we could get him to come withiut too much difficulty.

Would honestly rather have Pardew back than him.

He never chose them over us. He was never offered our job.

Yeah I saw the football focus item on Barnsley yesterday - we could probably do a lot worse. He's using a high energy pressing style at Barnsley and using a lot of young players to play that way. This could be the way we should be looking. To play that way the training is very intense (triple sessions as with Klopp). It would surely mean the end of Barry, Morrison, Brunt for a start. We look as though we're on the verge of having 5 or 6 young players coming into serious reckoning for the 1st team from next year, if we are prepared to give them a chance. Why not have the inevitable clear-out (assuming we don't go up), supplement our own youngsters with some other signings/loans suited to high energy style. Possible issue is we'd probably need to be patient enough to give a manager 2 years to get us up...as Norwich have done with Farke.

From the above it would seem that Shan has it to the end of the season and will be able to bring in some experienced support on a temporary basis next week.

To be honest at least that puts things to bed for the time being we have up to 10 games to go we are playing pretty basic football the squad is a mess at least the new guy can come in with a clean sheet and rebuild whichever division we are in.

I posted last week that if SJ or the like can't be tempted then sticking with Shan until the Summer is the best option. There's a lot of names linked from the merry go round that frighten me in all honesty and would only lead to another mess and more chopping and changing at this point.
I always felt Moore and especially Jones were making it more difficult than it had to be on the pitch so its no surprise a more simple plan under Shan is winning games.

From the game vs B'ham it was clear that Shan went back to the future.  It worked on Friday evening but I thought that there was the same problem in keeping ageing midfielders on the pitch beyond their reserves of stamina.  That tackle by Brunt towards the end might not have been tactical genius but that of a desperately tired player being given the run-around.  Would it have been genius if Brum had scored from it just as they had from two previous set pieces?

Nevertheless I don't feel that there is any point in making knee-jerk appointments.  Let's see how Shan develops over these last games.  We can choose a manager when we know which division we're in.  I agree with those who say it's difficult (though not impossible with sufficient funds) to line up the manager of your choice to take over as soon as you have sacked the current boss.

Finally not even sure we would be ready for the EPL without a rebuild that would take more than a summer break.

Agree with all of that - especially this bit.

There would be a massive rebuild to perform if we managed to go up, no doubt. I would still love it to happen though. If we stay down for another season do we really think we would be more ready for the step up in 12 months time? I doubt it personally. No, lets get up somehow and then worry!

Allardyce’s odds have dropped massively today, now favourite. He’d probably get us up tbf but surely nothing more than a 3 month contract!
