Betfair is now offering odds on next manager..

[Fulwood Blade]

Paul Heckinbottom - put in temporary charge until end of season - lets be honest, we're relegated.

Proper full time decision made very soon after end of season.

UTB

 

[Chingo]

 

[ElephantBlade]

How to ruin a weekend - read this list!

 

[Nine Inch Nalis]

Eddie Howe or 4th division then, fun times.

 

[Chabuddy G]

That's the betting, not the shortlist.
Also, Howe would be a belter of an appointment.

 

[Bobby Boo]

FFS Pardew down from 40/1

Its happening lads

 

[Blade1959]

That's the betting, not the shortlist.
Also, Howe would be a belter of an appointment.

Exactly..... put £20 on Karl Robinson & he’ll appear on the list

 

[S1blade]

Chris Wilder would be a good appointment, and I've heard he's also a Blade. We should try and get him.

 

[FredZeppelin]

Pure 'no nothing' speculation.
Heckingbottom will be the new boss until the end of the season. I think we all know that. After that he HAS to step back down unless he hugely proves everyone wrong.
The remainder of that list would be a unmitigated disaster and i can't believe United are even thinking along those lines.
Howe is the best by far but he failed at Burnley and he's the archetypal 'southern boy'. Can't see Lampard taking a job like us.
I can only see an overseas option or maybe the bloke doing well at Barnsley that seems to be highly rated? I don't know enough about him.
What a huge job the next bloke in has got on his hands.
How do you really replace a legend?

I demand they put meggo as favourite. Might even put 20p on it to make it happen.

The next manager we will get will no doubt be foreign. 1000% calling it now

Any names?
Let's hope it is pronounceable!

 

[Goodpinchofclough]

Where's agent Pulis?

 

[Kop sufferer]

At this moment in time I'd take Hecky over all the rest on the list.
The guy at Barnsley anybody?

 

[MalmoBlade]

The next manager we will get will no doubt be foreign. 1000% calling it now

Yeah probably Pulis


Edit: GoodPinch beat me to it

 

[Superblades]

Out of that list I’d have Bilic.

 

[Bugboyblade]

All a step down!

 

[LudlamBlade]

I'd take Lennon or Lampard off that list.

Ismael would be a shout.

Still a bit shocked.

 

[GuangzhouBlade]

Out of that list I’d have Bilic.

My thoughts exactly, he worked wonders with a poor West Brom squad,

I'd rather Wilder stayed but Howe, Bentiez And Bilic would all be very good appointments just can't see Howe or Benitez.

 

[Gimli]

If Neil Lennon takes over I’m smashing lot up.

 

[Goodpinchofclough]

Yeah probably Pulis


Edit: GoodPinch beat me to it

Has a manager ever kept a club up and relegated their rivals in the same season?

Let's hope we don't give him the opportunity ;-)

 

[Rodley]

People saying Rafa when we haven’t got the wherewithal to fix the leaking training ground roof.

 

[knowsnowt]

Roberto Di Potato.
YHIHF!

 

[Bearlie]

I'd be knocking door down at oakwell ...

 

[Jinxy1966]

Roberto Di Potato.
YHIHF!

I don’t find that very a-peeling.
Sounds half-baked.
He’s got a chip on his shoulder.
Lots getting mashed up.

I’ll get me jacket.

 

[Swannyblade]

I think that what is going on at Oakwell is bigger than just the coach - they've got the type of structure that I assume we're wanting to introduce

Don’t they have a reputation of being more “hoof” than Pulis? Rooney said they were the most direct team he’d ever seen. I know they are doing ok though.

The bloke at Barnsley is a hoof ball merchant.

I think that description would be very unfair on them. The game against Derby was poor but not typical of their recent performances. They might be high tempo and press hard, but make no mistake, they've got some ball players
