well if Hughton and McCarthy tried to play abit more attacking football and different formation maybe they got better results meaning they wouldn't have been sacked.

Favre and Fonesca has been linked with a number of PL clubs but never accept the job offer or been offered the job from those clubs.

Well they would need to be appoint firstly and I don't think any of them would have lasted here as long as Mowbray. Forest fans had so got fed up with Hughton and his tactics, Boro fans at Warnock plus Gav posted from a Boro supporter friend. Mowbray has gained the owners trust clearly and it's seem important to them Yes Cardiff did get promoted in recent years. But managers like Warnock and McCarthy have a short shelve life before fans get bored of them and their tactics. I still wouldn;t want any of Warnock, McCarthy or Hughton here as Mowbray's replacement.

FM22 is brilliant to play. Only started playing it since yesterday but really enjoying it

Just watched the 1st season of the Newsroom on Sky Box sets. Brilliant series. Just season 2 and 3 to watch this week Then Billions series 5 to watch and then start to watch Succession season 1 and 2 in the next week before Rovers are back in action

Looks like a good one to miss out on

Lets see if Wilder can reproduce the goods now at Middlesbrough like he did at Sheffield United # Look at Hughton, McCarthy, Warnock all sacked this seasons who people wanted here

Not interest in theorising what they might get wage wise from other clubs. They have been offered new improve contracts. an yes I am very interested who we signed here regardless who the manager is Yes he had Stuart Webber at Norwich who control everything. Webber has improve and grow the Scouting network since joining them Mike, You need to be very realistic who we can and should appoint. No chance of any of those 5 names coming here Other than the manager who else have they been supplying the club with

What about these managers who have played for the club they managed like Conte at Juventus, Ancelotti at AC Milan, Howe at Bournemouth, Keegan at Newcastle, Guardiola at Barca. All had success at them I'm not surprise Dyche isn't even in the running as he isn't head coach type that Villa want. As others have said Dyche runs the show at the Dingles and he won't get that at most PL clubs Well they are in talks to bring Michael Emenalo as sporting director at the club who is a fan of Howe. Also he worked at Chelsea in a similar role there.

Which he is head coach and was picked by Norwich Sporting Director Stuart Webber for the job.

Martin left MK Dons for Swansea so he left for bigger club. Norwich need a head coach that fits their squad there got. Well he is former player and captain there during the Lambert years there so I imagine he would be popular there. I would want Lampard but I see Knutsen is the favourite for the Norwich head coach on Sky bet

???

If we appoint a proper Sporting Director yes I am in favour of it. But not if we aren't

There are key differences between the roles. A manager has complete control over his staff, transfers and player contracts unless, of course, they’re working under a meddling owner. While a head coach just trains and picks the team, with the owner or director of football taking the pressure off them by dealing with the rest. Pochettino once explained: “If you are the manager, you decide many things about the club. But if you are a head coach, your responsibility is to play better, try to improve the players and to get positive results. “At Southampton, I was a manager. My responsibility was not only to coach the team. With Tottenham, I am a head coach. A head coach is head of your department. My department is to train the team.”

Alisson was woeful for Liverpool and couldnt deal with West Ham crosses.

Wilder has been appointed manager by Boro. Not Head coach.. Dean Smith was Head coach at Villa and Brentford with Sporting Director in place. Dean Smih would be excellent choice to replace Mowbray with when that's happens. But I think he will take a few weeks holiday to recoup and rejuvenate himself They will want a proper break from football I would guess. There is a difference between head coach and manager.

Won't both actually want a break from football?. Plus Farke can probably get a Job in the Bundesliga now and isn't he more like a head coach type anyway?.

West Ham have been good today against Liverpool. Liverpool defending for the second goal was shocking

Yes possible scenarios there but we have to see closer January time. If no club is bidding for a small fee then why reject our contract offer if no club is interest in them? Depends what we are asking for price wise. Also we can/should be targeting players to sign pre contract ourselves Or cheap fees to replace the ones we want rid off

I disagree. It would be strong management by Rovers. The contract offers are there to be sign or not by them. Time for them to stick or twist. Their choice Already dress this by saying we sign their replacements 6 months early.

We have offered them new improve contracts. Waggott has said they have offered 3 years contracts. on Brereton, he is very likely to be moving on this summer, and we have 12 club option on his deal just like Kaminski as well You could sign 2 players who are out of contract this summer like John Souttar from Hearts and Jon-Joe Kenny from Everton to replace both

Well the club can force the players by not picking them in the 25 man squad meaning they won't play for the next 5 months. We have made them good improve contract offers to them. How do we replace them by signing their replacements 6 months early.

Buckley played a key and crucial part in 2 of the 3 goals yesterday. I'm the first goal he played a brilliant switch of play from the right to left to Edun. Then winning the ball back and we scored from that for the third goal

Villa sacked Dean Smith
