Two months ago I was told by a supposed ITK to put £10 on Dave Jones as our next manager - I told him where to go.  But with the appointment of Burton I'm starting to think he may be right.

Fits the criteria, cheap, out of work, cheap, a yes man. Sounds perfect for JP

Its a really weird one.  The list of people that fit our selection criteria and would consider working under JP must be ever shrinking.

I think if JP wants a cheap option he will go for McInnes.  His association will appease the fans a little after the last few months.  He has had some success.  He'd know what he was letting himself in for.  He might work well with KD and Keily.

I think if JP thinks about what's happened lately a bit harder then he'll realise that he needs to appoint someone that the players will respect, with some experience in the PL and an idea of how to get performances out of some fairly limited players.  That's Martin Jol.

Before Clarke was appointed I wanted Laudrup to be the boss.  However, I think that there is too much negative info following his spell at Swansea.

Personally, I'd like to see someone like Gary Neville or Paul Clement or maybe Eddie Howe given a go - if we are really looking for a coach who can change things and inspire people.

I would be really disappointed if it was Hughton, Jones, McKay, etc... they are all experienced yet have little (if any) success in the PL between them.  Obviously not right for us.  Don't think Rosler, McLaren, Dyche will leave their clubs whilst they are on the up.  Don't think that we'll go for anyone who isn't English or with some relevant English experience, which takes care of Shaff, Pellegrio, etc. Moyes, no chance.  Phelan, no thanks.

Spurs sacked Sherwood so he's available free.

All this talk of Scottish managers like Moyes, Mackay and McInnes but there is only one Scottish manager who can really sort this group out.

I present to you.......

Can't help but picture that sketch on Little Britain where the weight loss woman can't understand the Indian lady despite her speaking perfectly understandable English.

'You need tackle high up the pitch and no let opposition attack by sit deep. Ok?'
'Nope. Say it again Pepe.'
'Please learn to run after the ball and hard work.'
'Dont understand.'
'Put in some effort please?'
'No, going to need Keith.'

Useless a*seholes.

burtons worked with him at Cardiff and Wednesday and apparently he will be involved in the recruitment process so jones might be a dark horse for the job, on the other hand Malkey put Burton on gardening leave at Cardiff so I'm thinking he won't be looking to get him involved.

There is a George Graham quote somewhere. I'm paraphrasing but he said that at a new club have a look around the dressing room and remember that it is these *****s that cost the last man his job. Reading Reid's quotes for example it feels like we need a Megson type character in to look into the eyes of our playing squad.

I'm starting to think that any of the candidates would be okay. What I don't like are the players. It's stating the obvious but if we don't recruit quality there's a serious chance we could go down, and if we went down to the Championship I don't credit half of this lot to show the skill and guts needed to get us back up.

FWIW I still think Moyes. I know there's this stuff about 'he's looking for a bigger club' but if the Albion are serious about doing their due diligence they simply must approach his agent. Nothing ventured nothing gained, and I'd like to think that phone call has already been made.

Then again, we are in the bizarro universe of JP so who knows.

We do need someone that needs to put a bit of fear into our Squad,or at least someone they respect,like a good ex pro like Laudrap,but have a horrible feeling it will be a negative Manager that will come in.

Really warming to the idea of Sherwood even though I stated before about not liking him! Seems the kinda guy we need! Ruffle some of the peacocks feathers

It is reported that Terry Burton will be involved in the selection of the new Head Coach and yet he doesn't start his job until June 1. I hope he has an input before then or we could lose out on our main candidates.

I guess June 1st isn't far away but agree that there should be a lot of work to do before then re hunting down the new manager.
Also there are several decisions to be made sooner rather than later regarding players futures....not to mention transfer targets.

If we are going to go for someone based on their coaching abilities what about Paul Clement?

Lepko interviewed on Talksport on our vacancy. Worryingly didn't rule Downing out. Downing was put off by McDonough (SP) being around back in December/January hence why he was adamant he did not want the role originally. Now his position may have changed though.

Ruled Jones out and Sherwood. Also spoke about RDM and said that players reported him to the board for not being hands on. Compared Clarke and Mels seasons and said they were very similar. That is all I caught of it really to be honest, missed the first bit.

So players have a history of getting the manager the sack
It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one. What you got to have is faith and discipline when you're not a winner.

Reported him to the board for not being hands on? Are you kidding me? He's head coach. The name even suggests that aside from training sessions and the game, they're in charge of other coaches who then train the players. How petty to report him. There's different managerial styles out there and they don't like any of them.

nigel adkins seems appealing from a poor list. very harshly sacked from Southampton and he as managed at all levels so im sure he would soon notice any cliques in the dressing room.

Steve Clarke: did a decent job at a team called West Brom until he was sacked.
All time favourite player: Jan Kozak
