Warnock is a non starter. But I see Steve Evans is on the list. Ticks all the boxes for me. Ruthless. Takes no shit from players or Chairmen Has experience of promoting teams from lower leagues. Knows lower league players well. Not very likeable but gets results. Talks the talk and has walked the walk. Marmite though. Id take him tomorrow.

If we do sack Adkins, and its looking increasingly likely, I'd love Evans but he's still at Leeds for now. I look forward (not) to James Shield saying that Russell Slade boasts admirers in the Bramall Lane boardroom as does Keith Curle! For me and I do hope me stick with Adkins, despite that last interview, I don't think we can look beyond Evans, Cotterill and Wilder. As a long shot Holloway I think would actually be appreciated at our place for his football as well as his passion. There's some dross on the list though or people who've been in decent jobs and done ok but do you think they'd get us promoted. Gary Monk and Dougie Freedman spring to mind.
 
...from one goalie to another, I give you: David Icke

He'll see through the lot of em'

Yikes. Not good at all, though naturally influenced by some with Bolton links like Holdsworth. Simon McCabe would presumably love to appoint Beattie.

Russell Slade and Uwe Rosler on the face of it would seem like good options with relative success in League 1, but we'd never have the patience both would need. Plus they probably don't give good interviews, so are doubly unsuitable.
 
For 'we can't go on sacking managers' the list in the OP should read 'We can't keep offering employment opportunities to useless, serially-failed British managers'. There's no guarantees obviously, but it's beginning to look like these young, bright foreign managers look at the game with fresh eyes. At the very top of the game people like Klopp and Pochettino, that guy at Watford etc. stand out. Hughes and Pulis are finding their own brand of 'up and at 'em' will only take you so far. Wendy have wasted many seasons with the likes of Jones, Megson, Laws etc. Is it coincidence that, as soon as they employ Carvalhal, their fortunes turn? Ditto Pearson at Leicester. His, er, 'private life' and that of his kids leaves a lot to be desired whereas these smart, continental types seem to run their lives in a more civilised manner. Leicester were nailed-on relegation certs. Ranieri comes in and... Coincidence? Have you ever, on your travels, observed the difference between, say, Italians? Germans? Dutch? and compared them to Brits Abroad? In the lack of any class and taste, our lot resort to bullshit and bluster. Like most British football managers.

The 'usual' suspects of British managers have had their day and maybe club owners are finally sussing that they're not very good and mostly rely on past, sporadic 'glories'. Like Adkins.

Only one that would remotely interest me would be Rowett, who did a great job at Burton and now at Brum under difficult circumstances.
 
Keith Hill
Chris Wilder
Michael Appleton (yes i know)

All 3 have generated good sides on little or no money and brought through their own
 
Steve McClaren. HIs achingly funny comedy interviews after the inevitable defeats would help soften the disappointments.

Good manager but there is no way he'd drop down a division to a club in turmoil!

I see his old school management has taken him a long way. Would anyone even know who John Sitton is if it weren't for these clips?
And he referred to the Orient fans as 'cockroaches'. Nice bloke.

Hate to add more to this argument but Zac Goldsmith is NOT Jewish.

Back to the original thread - two words: Gary and Megson. That is all.

No idea what faith he practices but he's definitely of Jewish origin.

His paternal grandfather was Jewish, having left a German ghetto he moved to Enlgand and married a Catholic. This means that his father wasn't Jewish and neither is he as Judaism is passed down through the mother. Whilst he may be of "Jewish origin", it is only that.
