Without doubt the biggest appointment in the clubs history for a long time..

If Roy gets the job, the next manager will really shape our future, the right choice could see us push on and secure ourselves as a mid table force, the wrong decision and were back to square 1.

Well, why not? He's won the league in Norway with his team Molde (first league title in history), and seems to be doing quite well as a manager. Given the choices available on the poll, I don't really think we need a washed-up manager, which most the options are.

I'd take Hughton though, but I'd prefer Solskjaer.

The premiership is no place for beginners! It becomes obvious when you go through a tough run. An experienced and sometimes steady hand makes the difference when this happens and it does to most teams during a season.

Hughton seems one of the more likely shouts based on last time round and Blues current financial issues. I wouldn't mind Lambert but he's in a job and would he come anyway?

Personally I think Lambert is the outstanding candidate.
Hughton has done well at Blouse/Newcastle.
Brendon Rogers also fits the criteria IMO
Martin Jol is another who would fit the bill and has affiliation with the club, might cost a bit though.
Then there is the madman from Blackpool who would make an entertaining appointment!!!!!

Molde are in the Champions League this season, surely that would be a stumbling block.

Malky Mackay for me. Great young manager who has the desire to succeed.

I really worry that it will be Appleton

In all honesty I fear for us...
We fell lucky with Hodgson imo. He's managed all over the world, managed international teams, won league titles, speaks 7 languages, knows everyone worth knowing in the game and the most important thing is, he can manage clubs with no money and average players and make those teams perform above their level like us, Fulham etc. Top bloke and manager. We'd need a manager like bloody Mourinho, Fergie, Guardiolla to replace Hodgson to continue the way we are as they are people that could make our players perform anywhere near the level as Hodgson can. I fear with any of the other managers being mentioned, we will slide back into the 'yo-yo' team we were once known as... Obviously I don't expect us to go out and appoint the out of work Pep Guardiolla, however the pool of managers being batted about falls quite a bit away from Roy Hodgson's accolades and experience. imo.

A perfect fit for England then.

The amount of votes for Holloway scare the life out of me.

from what was going to be quite a busy summer anyway with decisions to be made on foster,olsen,reid,scharner,andrews,fortune,tchoyi and cox and then replacements signed for any of those we now need a new head coach before that can happen. so hopefully a swift appointment so its more evolution than revolution

Savvas78 · « **Reply #237 on:** April 30, 2012, 10:10:27 AM »

Out of this list: Laudrup, Brendan Rogers, or Paul Lambert would be my preferred candidates.

DudleyBaggieFan · « **Reply #238 on:** April 30, 2012, 10:13:21 AM »

Hughton

Push the boat out JP and go get pep!!!

Seriously, Hughton, always rated him.

DudleyBaggieFan · « **Reply #239 on:** April 30, 2012, 10:16:57 AM »

Sky bet has Martyn jol at 25/1
And ranieri at 33/1

Dean Kiely is at 12/1

DudleyBaggieFan · « **Reply #240 on:** April 30, 2012, 10:17:43 AM »

Stuart Pearce anyone?
16/1

WBAinDEVON · « **Reply #241 on:** April 30, 2012, 10:18:32 AM »

Might Hughton still be smarting?

WBARoberts · « **Reply #242 on:** April 30, 2012, 10:22:26 AM »

Holloway for me.

billvis · « **Reply #243 on:** April 30, 2012, 10:23:46 AM »

I would be surprised if it isn't any of those in the list, just remember the RDM appointment.

Got a feeling in my bones about Benitez though.

Would Chris Hughton leave Blues and go to there local rivals??

That's a really good point, I never thought about that. That sudden u-turn might mean Hughton's out of the running.

Why would he lower himself to a club like ours? I laughed at the ridiculousness of this suggestion from a number of Dingles a couple of months back.

I don't mean to disrespect our own club but Benitez will see himself as too good for us given his CV.

Is that feeling accompanied by a total lack of common sense? If Benitez denied Villa, i doubt very seriously that he'd come here. I reckon he was after the Spurs job if Harry got the England job. Sadly, i simply cannot see him at Albion.
