Bunnski Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I thought the same thing really. What he brings is experience in football and he knows all about being a manager at the highest level, I thought that was obvious and a major upgrade from any of the business men and marketing men we have had on our board since Lerner took over. Edit: quote messed up for some reason, my post was in response to people wondering what Brian Little offers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Murphy was saying that Little is there to do the initial talks, I think his strength being it is a manager talking to a manager (mentioned something about Little's LMA contacts) - he'd probably be quite good at sounding out the reasons managers like Moyes wouldn't want the job and smoothing the way for DB in a formal interview.

Mantis Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I still don't understand why our next manager has to be British. What about Karanka for example? I don't think he'd come here but surely he'd be a better option than some of the usual plodders like McClaren? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you just saying that because he isn't a shouty British manager who goes on about PASHUN and DESIRE? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Slightly ITK, the issue with Karanka was that he was too shouty and critical of the players. So a really bad example to use to fit your narrative, Zatman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Nationality is completely irrelevant, but I am struggling to think of suitable foreign candidates. Didn't Karanka have a stupid hissy fit at Boro a couple of weeks ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BOF Posted March 30, 2016 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2016 For me in order of preference it's Moyes, Dyche, Warburton, Hughton, Bruce, Rowett, Pearson, Rodgers, Karanka, McCarthy, an inanimate carbon rod, DCI Garry Monk. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) For me, beyond Moyes, I really don't like the other 'experienced' candidates at all. That's why when I consider alternatives, I'm more inclined to names like Monk and Karanka. I don't get the ridicule aimed at the former either, when there are equally questionable/unproven candidates being floated.

Stevo985 Posted March 30, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'm still not sure why Hughton isn't featuring on any of these lists. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted March 30, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hughton would be my choice should Moyes not be gettable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_c Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 The 'will they come?' question, surely has a lot to do with how much we will be prepared to pay the new manager. I think there are top quality coaches out there of all nationalities, problem is the top quality foreign coaches would come here, but only when you offer them huge wage cheque. Why else has Benitez gone to Newcastle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him, he seems a decent manager and he's got a team promoted from a very similar situation to ours, plus he'll either have a promotion, or a good effort at promotion, on his CV after this season. Obviously if he does get promoted he probably wouldn't come, but like you I think he'd be second choice for me behind Moyes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why else has Benitez gone to Newcastle? Newcastle has a lot of potential should they stay up. I imagine Benitez and the club will have a "parting of the ways" clause in his contract if they are relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
