Kjetil Knutsen - 77% win or draw percentage
Dave Challinor - 76% win or draw percentage
John Mousinho- 73% win or drawpercentage
Nathan Jones - 72% win or draw percentage
Steve Cooper - 71% win or draw percentage

Cooper I would like.

Plays Decent football, actual proven success.

Experience of taking over a ruderless and underperforming club at the bottom of the league and taking them to promotion.

I’m not for sacking Selles just yet - though he’s clearly not helping himself at all with his decisions. But after we lose 6 in a row after Boro and Ipswich you can’t see it as anything other than inevitable.

If you are saying that - may as well get shut today and let new manager have input on the transfer window?

I genuinely don’t know what the right call is.

There is an argument that Selles has been dealt the Slav hand with a squad that’s lost 11 high earners with experience but has been hamstrung in terms of getting replacements in. Maybe a couple more additions and more time and things turn around and we start to play the way he desires . Plus You could argue we’ve been on the wrong end of a couple of close games, we could have some points on the board.

And it’s not going to cover COH in glory to sack a man after 4/5 games and only being allowed to bring in 4 players. Who’s going to sign up for that to come in?

To me, it depends on the squad - are they buying in? Because if they are not then results are going to continue like this and we may as well act now.

But the Bottom line is he has to get a result soon or the crowd is not going to be accepting of the turgid shit they are being subject to. And if I see Cannon on the right again - it suggest he is a fraud of the highest level with no understand of what he wants to achieve.

Bump. Any of these 5 + potentially Dyche would be ok.

Both Rohl and O'Neil despite having a good media reputation but actually have pretty bang average records.

T-Blade make sure it's neither of Rohl or O'Neil

I don’t know who you think I am but if I had any say whatsoever, which I don’t, I’d agree with you

Send a message back up the pipeline the other way . The fans don't want Rohl or O'Neil

Too late for that really. Whoever comes in will only have a day or so if they’re in for Monday and with the speed we work they’ll not have a chance to look at transfers.

For anyone wondering O'Neil has lost 52 of the 100 matches he has managed.

Which means he has a win or draw percentage of just 48%

Would be an absolutely terrible appointment imho.

Why leave it another game when we have 2 weeks to get someone in and time for the new manager to have a bit of time with the players… leaving it another 2 weeks is suicidal

The only thing I could potentially think of is getting the Ipswich game out of the way to give the new manager a slightly easier starting block and not have morale drop if he loses against them in his first match.

Nathan Jones

I don’t want that diva anywhere near Bramall Lane.

 

[Carlton Blade]

Nathan Jones has not been gone for anywhere long enough

If we're going to sack the current manager after four games, why do you think it would ever be a good ideal to let a new manager have "input" into transfers, when if the new guy is equally shit you'll want him out by mid-October? This is the archetypal example of why "managers" being involved in transfers is a terrible idea

Sean Dyche

If its not one of these 5, the season is over.

Realistically I can only see it being Knutsen or Dyche and both would no doubt cost a pretty penny

We are in a weak position to attract a decent manager.

The season is all but over. A promotion side only loses 5-6 games a season and has a positive goal difference. We’ve got an eleven goal gap to make up before we break even.

Sellés is a scholar of the game. If I’d read every piano tuition book I still couldn't get a tune out of a Steinbeck, that’s where he is with football. And his appointment is down to absent owners who are out of their depth and so nieve it’s frightening. So far they’ve….
Given Wilder a 3 year deal
Sacked Wilder
Appointed Sellés
Failed to restructure with a DoF
Sold the spine of the team without replacements
Failed to build a squad
Panic bought anyone x14 (Tanangana was the fans choice) at last minute
Kept Sellés when obvious he should have gone before international break

Now we are in a position where parachute money is gone, rock bottom setting unwanted records, investment dried up (forget Cat at Dore, don’t think that will happen). If only PA had money cause he had one big quality, vision.

Icing on cake will be decissions to bring Wilder back on 12-18 month deal.

Buckle up, we are now a 5 year project to get back to where we were last season

For me the big questions are around Bettis, an experienced football CEO, Director of the club and he’s overseen this shambles.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Not sure who we go for tbh.

Perhaps caretaker until a decent manager gets the bullet.

Or get Hecky back - he'd get a tune out of this lot.

Not even sure who the assistant manager is tbh. Jack Lester would have been a good choice for caretaker but he's just left.

What a mess - a bloke who hasn't a clue, and so early into the season that there's not much out there to replace him.

None of those

He can’t escape criticism.

But you select a manager and then you’re in their hands as far as league position.

I’d say look at commercial revenue, cost base, improvements, savings and efficiency in terms of how he’s running the club.

Difficult to put it all on his shoulders.

He doesn’t communicate enough though as the only local figurehead.

I can well imagine this is by design. He usually does an interview after the window but they must have known Sellés was on borrowed time. Don’t want to come out with all sorts of platitudes that incorporate the manager only to sack him a week later.

He has to go now. It’s unacceptable for a team to lose 5-0 to a pre-season perceived promotion rival, it’s beyond that when you’re doing it from rock bottom with no points.
