CrackpotForeigner Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 MON to Return?? LOL I'd have MON back. As many have said, he's not likely to manage a bigger club than us after quitting like he did. So the best he can do is make amends. I really think GH showed everyone how to deal in the transfer window, and he showed MON the kind of thing RL was asking for in the first place. On the other hand, MON got results. If he can swallow a bit of pride and accept that he can't just be allowed to piss about with contracts and transfers, maybe RL would have him back. All very unlikely, but I think it could work, especially if we keep GH to do the tranfers. (Puts on tin hat...says **** it...throws away tin hat...Runs.)

MON must be one of the most stubborn managers out there. I'd never have him back for the way he **** us over. Sure he wanted to resign but why do it 5 days before the start of the season? It's not like the whole sell to buy thing was something that just suddenly emerged in August. He's a tool. I know a lot of people see him as the victim in all this but I don't. We're the victims.

trevor Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 If the board go anywhere near Rafa Bentiez I will only be able to conclude they have completely lost the plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree although its never ever going to happen so its not even worth discussing further but I totally agree with you anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you'd bring O'Neill back again who shit all over us and put average players on whopping contracts. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Given how shit we have been under Houllier the new man coming in certainly has a great chance to bounce us up half a dozen places or so. Given the players we have its not beyond the realms we will find ourselves back in amongst the top half dozen teams in the country again come this time next year. Vitally important the board make the right choice this time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vitally important the board make the right choice this time though.The good players we have may be off in the summer, i think it will all depend on the type of manager that Randy appoints, if he **** up again i think we'll become a proper mid table team for years to come.

jat_r Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 How about André Villas Boas? I know Porto are losing at the moment but from the sounds of it they have had an amazing season so far! Part of me wants an established manager but then part of me wants to take the risk with someone new and upcoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted April 28, 2011 Moderator Share Posted April 28, 2011 We simply can't afford the risk of someone like that and given Randy/Faulkner said when when replacing O'Neill that PL experience was a requirement I can't see that they will think different this time around. If we have to replace Houllier and I hope we do then it will be a fairly short list of managers and all will be more well known (in PL terms) names.

millbrook85 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I don't see how it's anyone other than Moyes if he's available. He's clearly the option for us because he's experienced but still young and he has experience working on a budget but will have more money here.

AshVilla Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Hughes would be an average appointment for me Has to be moyes... the bloke has worked wonders at everton on a shoestring budget even when he's had to sell his best players and brought through young talented ones like Rodwell he also has a knack of getting the best out of a small crop of players even when they are carrying alot of injuries. I also like the way he's willing to take a gamble on players fro m the lower leagues like jagielka who is now always around the england setup.

roadoftrinity Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I think it will be Mark Hughes. I heard a rumour that we had him lined up when MON apparently wanted to leave after the Chelsea game but obviously he didn't leave. Not a fan myself but it would be the easy option as apparently he's only on a one year deal at Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
