[Archived] Manager - Stick or Twist?

[67splitscreen]

Doubt we could pull a big name, Hughes seems the logical appointment.

A cheaper option but still a novice in real terms, would be Poyet, 52% win record.

Voted Hughes.

Ince mk2?

[rog of the rovers]

Surprise, surprise Hughes is the fans choice.

He would be mine, but I just cant see him coming back.

Therefore I'm prepared to give Kean a bit more time.

[Mc Love]

If Hughes doesnt take it, then I would go for Ranieri or Ancelotti.

[Billy Castell]

If I had to rank it, and was a bit optimistic about who'd want the job:

1. Ancelotti

2. Moyes

3. Schuster

4. Hughes

5. Van Gaal

6. Berg

7. Rijkaard

8. Curbishley

[miqaayil]

Actually i would prefer a young european manager with a old guard player as assistant like hendry/tugay , few names

frank rijkaard ,

micheal laudrup ,

van basten

bilic (never will he leave croatia)

i would really love johan cruyff

and ofcourse the usual suspects

hugues ,

o'niel ,

ancelotti

Should we need to hire a new manager, Venkys only option is to consult their football advisers/agents (Zahavi keeps getting mentioned), and perhaps Simon Hunt for guidance (whoever he is).

No one else currently employed by the club would have a clue how to go about it and we have no experience in that area.

!st choice Hughes, 2nd choice Gus Poyet.

[BuckyRover]

Gus Poyet.

I would like Hughes but I think that's just fantasy

[deryck guyler's spoon]

Gus Poyet.

I think we would have a better chance with Hughes than Poyet. Brighton are riding the crest of a wave at the moment and have some potential.

[Veevs]

How about Bernd Schuster might kill us if he decides to go all out attack but hell would be more entertaining than the feeble unborganised passing game we are playing at the moment.

Would like Hughes even on a 1 season large contract to save our butts.. but the likes of Cubish, O'Neil, Laudrup, Van Basten and Schuster have to be more realistic as they might just be interested.

[Hughesy]

Think we have a similar new topic to this one....this already has a poll on who the fans seem to want

[PAFELL]

Gus Poyet.

Poyet is happy at Brighton - that I am sure about.

Good he can stay there – he’s a massive risk – just like Ince was….it could either work or fail badly!

[Parsonblue]

I can't see Hughes or any other major name taking the job if Venkys are going to continue to use agents and a sporting director to dictate transfer policy. The bottom line is that Kean is only part of the problem. The way in which the owners are running the club is a major part of the problem. They would need to change their approach and allow the manager to actually manage rather than having committees dictating affairs. It's too simplistic to think if Kean goes all will be well. If the owners had a better grasp of things the present manager would and should have been replaced in the summer, giving the new man time to work with the squad in pre-season

[Hughesy]

Hopefully the agents have now gone in terms of making decisions.

They got the last appointment wrong as the people making the decisions had an inside interest in him.....I pray next time we can get it right.

I thought there was an agent involved on the deadline day signings? Seem to recall reading that Mrs D. had brought a different agent in to deal with. If it's left to the brothers to make the appointment heaven help us!

[Mattyblue]

If Kean is to be potted, who appoints the new man?

The two Hunts? An agent 'advisor'? Vinny Rao?

[booth]

It would have been better if the poll could have been multiple choice as I would have liked to have picked more than one.

There's a difference of who I think we could potentially get from that list and who I'd like from that list but it's unlikely.

Perhaps the same guy who does the firing?! None of the above!

oooo you tease...

[Hughesy]

Potentially MAJOR news in terms of what happens next.

Give you all a heads up, Inc Kamy & Glenn who tried to get an interview last time. 2 owners are in tomorrow.

[Tom]

You been bugging people on Twitter again Hughesy? Good work

[Hughesy]

No mate just got a message an hour or so ago

[Ferrit]

Sparky.

Chance of it happening = 0%.
