I should qualify that Terry is right up there with last person I want but I've got a feeling...

Fans would riot at your shortlist Stan  3 that would be perceived as Alan Irvine type appointments.

Proud to march to a different drum. But as I said in an earlier thread I am completely through with the big name coaches the pragmatists and the short term fixes. We have done it to death and here we are back at square maybe try something different.

Terry is a seriously terrible option. I might have some fairly significant reservations about Wilder but he is so far ahead of Terry he is lapping him.

How do you know he's a terrible option?  He's no experience at all in being a manager but that doesnt mean he'd be bad at it.

Wilder is a good manager to be fair he's only really had one bad season in about eight. Whether he"s the right fit for us is another matter.

[SC_Baggie]

I don’t know why but I really don’t want Wilder. Just have a bad feeling about it

[Nice1Cyrille]

Thought I'd throw the cat amongst the pigeons.
How about Mark Warburton?
Worked well at Brentford and Rangers.
Not so good at Forest but turned QPR around at the start of the year.

[SirTonyM]

John Terry That would be a low ebb...

[beechyboy90]

Mark Robins has done a decent job at cov
Paul cook has always worked wonders at basket cases deserves a bigger job.
The swansea manager has done a good job over last few years.
Wagner who was at huddersfield was ok.
Maresca has done well as num 2 everywhere will have plethora of contacts in europe so we dont have to rely on a god awful DOF.

Not being able to sleep over this, I've come up with this list, in order of preference;
1. Ralf Rangnick 2. Edin Terzic 3. Peter Bosz 4. Dieter Hecking 5. Frank Lampard
6. Uwe Rosler 7. Enzo Maresca.
I think all of them are either available or might be interested.

[festerp]

What about AVB he is available, young at 43 and hugely experienced in Europe and England.

[DaveWBA]

How horrific is that list of voting options?!

We've got a whole summer of this, no way we make a speedy appointment.

[Canmore Baggie]

What about AVB he is available, young at 43 and hugely experienced in Europe and England.

Interesting option - but do you think he'd consider coming into the Chumps?
Only lure I can see is that we will be amongst the 'big' clubs and he would have a very real chance of bringing us up, which would get him back in the Prem...

[hardtobeat]

Simply in footballing terms somebody like to explain why Terry is such a terrible option? He has always stated he wants to be a number 1, his contact book will be as big as any . As I say forget the personal stuff why his he such a bad option ?.
 For what it's worth I would be after Lampard but if we are going down the cheaper route then in fairness I watched Lincoln/ Sunderland last night and was impressed with the way Lincoln tried to play so wouldn't rule Appleton out just on the ' we don't want old boys ' mantra.

[Davros1582]

How about hasselbaink. He has done a superb job at Burton

[Groovephil]

Good god some of the names here make me shudder.

We don’t want anyone who hasn’t done before what our goal is now. Promotion from the championship. Billic was a fluke and stumbled over the line with a shocking last 10 games record, this continued into the Prem. we need to be better than this.

You look at the options and its Wilder all day for me. Sure he had a horrible second Prem season with SU but he got them up and kept them up.

I just can’t see past it but his purchase of Burke will always worry me to death in the transfer market. It’s why I’d like us to be a little cleverer and have a Roy / Sam figure on the board to help.

[wbasoprano]

He's way out our league and price range I expect but Rafa Benitez would be my choice

[LiamTheBaggie]

I agree with the concerns around Wilders transfer business - the McBurnie and Burke signings really stand out as poor signings. I can forgive the Brewster signing as I think there is a good player in there and many were advocating his signing in the summer. I guess those sort of monies at the Blunts is not available here and as such he will need to box clever.

[BaggiePhil]

According to Odds Checker James shan is the favourite for the permanent job. It must be a joke?

[leeiswba]

No one out there who excites me.

I think it will be John Terry

That’s from the previous vacancy after Moore was sacked.

Eddie Howe is the best one I can see out there. But we don't have a cat in hells chance. With Celtic calling compared to our board.

There is a special category of manager which club's like us should avoid which is the high profile former player looking for a start as a Head Coach and Terry is fairly typical of the genre. There is no way that this job is one for a rookie (it wasn't when we promoted Moore but he had more experience than Terry) we wouldn't even consider an assistant coach from the Villa if they weren't a high profile former player.

So you’d rule out the likes of Maresca , Carrick , the likes of the bloke at Blackpool then ? On that basis you are limiting what in the eyes of many is already a very small pool and quite possibly extending the gravy train for the likes of Hughes

[liverbaggie]

Eddie Howe for me
Young and with a point to prove.
Always plays attractive attacking football.

[johnny Cash]

John Terry has done 3/4 years as an assistant so has at least done some form of apprenticeship unlike many of the big name former pro’s. iMore than your Lampard, Terry, Rooney, Henry

However he’s an absolute scum bag, so please no.

[wbasoprano]

Watched Bournemouth many times and the attacking football thing is a bit of a myth, but we could do a lot worse than Howe.
