If you ignore the fact Appleton has any connection with West Brom, because after all, it's completely meaningless when it comes to actual ability. Then would anyone here, hand on heart, say "yup, he's the man for us" based purely off his managerial record? I very very much doubt it.

The only reason Appleton is mentioned is because he played for us, nobody would know him otherwise, same goes with mcinnes.

Roy Keane has come into 4/1 today. Any views?

I agree to some extent, but Appleton had been working at the club in many capacities for a few years up to assistant manager, that's quite notable. Not saying it's enough for him to get the job alone but it is to his advantage.

I agree about McInnes though.

Definitely not! A complete non starter for me.

I haven't seen anything that makes me believe he is capable of delvoping the team on or off the pitch beyond where it is now.

In fact, I am sure we would see a steady decline as soon as he arrived from players wanting away to fans questioning his methods\personality.

I wouldn't have thought Roy Keane was a serious consideration TBH

Apparently we've spoken to Martin jol too. And Steve Bruce, as well as ranieri and hughton. Nothing formal yet just prelim talks.

That would be a huge blow to a team we aim to be following in terms of consistancy.

If we were to poach Jol from Fulham id see that as shrewd bit of business.

Yep... No f***** way !

Would pay good money to see an interview process between Jeremy Peace and Roy Keane mind..

Roy Keane is a non starter. Cant see Peace wanting to work with him

Got a tenner on AVB at 33/1 two hours before the odds dropped to 10/1. Just a hunch!

Off to villa hopefully so that's one rival and one poor cand out the way!

Jack Russell · « **Reply #1391 on:** May 16, 2012, 05:20:18 PM »

Villa and Liverpool will have the pick, Lambert & Rodgers?
Us and maybe Norwich and Swansea could well be fighting for whats left

Im not sure if the managerial merry go round is great news for us.

Before the weekend, we had time to relax and do things at our own pace. With Villa and Liverpool now potentially looking at managers like Lambert and Martinez, that could in turn mean Norwich and Wigan start looking at managers like Hughton, will mean we may have to act quicker than expected.

Saw one local journalist say on his twitter that he felt Martinez would be the preferred choice for Peace. With Villa and maybe Liverpool now looking at him, our already long shot chances look even slimmer.

Hopefully Liverpool look to bigger name like AVB or Rijkaard which would stop the shake up in the league but who knows.

Ok, mulling this over here are a few thoughts.

Out of our recent managers only Hodgson has been truly comfortable at the PL level. RdM wasn't ready and made rookie mistakes. Megson and Mowbray were simply a level above where their abilities were (not to mention Venus and Peter Grant

)

I'd like for our new manager to have:

A. the experience of competing at the PL level, if not as manager then at least as a player who knew the league inside out.

B. Have proven his managerial talent in some way, like having achieved promotion(s) against the odds and 'over achieved' with the resources he had to work with.

Now, obviously we are not going to get an ex-Manager of the Year like Roy, so whomever we get is likely to be less experienced than Roy. But we cannot have a new RdM either that loses the plot as badly as Roberto did mid-season.

Did anyone hear Dave Whealen say on Talk Sport this morning that his manager would not be leaving for us or the Villa but he said its possible he would go to a bigger club

I didnt, but it is understandable why he would say it. He may feel Wigan could aim for a 10th place finish. If they can, then at they can finish about as high as ourselves and Villa can finish in our current situations. He may feel it is a sideways step.

I personally feel from a neutral perspective that the dwindling finances at Wigan mean that Villa and Albion are forward steps but by what level im not sure. I actually think if possible, Martinez should consider a move abroad where he could manage in a league that would allow him to achieve higher than 8th place, unless he gets an offer from a club like Liverpool.

Hope Liverpool go for someone like Ranieri, but wouldn't surprise me if they went for Rodgers or Martinez. Villa I think will go for Lambert.

By the look of things now after the sack of Dalglish, I think we will end up with Ollie... (but Ollie and JP doesn't sound like a harmonious mix

)

Is there some talented German/Dutch/Latin manager that wants a shot at the PL? :/
