Topic: Next Manager

[kc56wba]

I am thinking Rangnick will take the job, just a matter of hours.

...I hope! 

  If we don't hear anything in the next couple of days from the Albion then IMO we can say goodbye to Rangnick and start our search again.

[WBAinDEVON]

How long does Rangnick want.Surely when he was at the Hawthorns for the Arsenal game the club would have made it known he was wanted

[WSBaggie]

Hold on a moment I've been offered a job in a different country to that which I have worked in for the whole of my life so far so I'm gonna make sure I accept the job within hours to appease the fans of that club... Not to mention uprooting a family etc from their native country.

I don't think so. The people with itchy feet need to get realistic. Anyone in football is the same as us in everyday life when it comes to accepting another job.

Give the bloke time, it sounds like he's ment to give his decision by Friday and I'm sure he will.

[WSBaggie]

And nobody should bother trying to compare us to other clubs, Villa and Liverpool appointed swiftly by throwing money at the problem something we can't do. You just have to look at these clubs previous appointments to see that they aren't exactly the model teams to follow when it comes to new managers.....

Agreed. If anything this makes me believe he is seriously looking at this role and that he is taking the offer seriously.

[hardtobeat]

i know we've had a bit of a laugh at some of the bookies antics over the duration of the manhunt but skybet have surpassed themselves today from being the only major player to go odds against Rangnick they've shortened him monumentally to 1/3!! Has Jp jhad the nod and increased the transfer kitty?!!

couldnt agree more now you put it like that

[Jack Russell]

I wish i could have a job offer that gave me a month to decide

Why can't we throw money at the problem?  Ralf is still my number one choice, but for as an important position such as manager shouldn't we be willing to spend?

I imagine that we could ... we choose not to.

Being willing to spend and being able to spend are two vastly different things.

Now, there is talks of Mike Phelan for the job. Just get it over with!

I wouldn't take much notice if I were you.

'Talk' and it's exactly that. Surely you've supported Albion long enough to know that we aren't the usual media attention seeking club you find in the Premier League.

[AlbionBest]

Comp would be around the same as CH's was, so I would say that its not likely now, although I'm sure he is someone the club have considered, possibly even spoken to as well.

That kind of compensation to a Championship club should not be any kind of issue to a club of our current standing !

If anything he is more of a leg end at Norwich

[leonidas]

Just wish they'd announce Rangnick so we could get this over with...

[royhan]

Some very encouraging news on the BBC website:

The Belgium Football Federation (KBVB) have confirmed that Marc Wilmots has signed a two-year deal to become permanent coach of the national team.

This means that RR is no longer in the frame and could become our next manager very soon!

Same mate. Thing is if he hasn't made a decision what can we do?

Have you just come home from work

Haven't seen this info posted before, but I may have missed it.

EXACTLY, we could always do a lot more than we ever appear to do.

Steve Clarke would be the height of penny-pinching..........

Who do we need to pay for RR?

Did you know that Steve Clarke was the highest paid assistant manager in Premiership history?

'assistant' being the operative word.............
