Can't see it being anybody currently in a job as compensation would have to be paid.

Let’s have a foreign manager and see if there’s a difference

My personal choice, as I’ve said above, is Bellers (unless of course we can pull an unlikely rabbit from the hat and get Howe) but we’d not go too far wrong with exploring ex-Watford managers. There’s a lot go look through in recent years(!) but, if we’re to go foreign they’ve had 4-5 that I’d be interested in looking at

I’ve my doubts about Pearson as he’s had mixed results. Bellamy would make more sense imo but we definitely need a change. That’s for sure

Nathan Jones has done an excellent job for Luton but was a bit of a disaster for Stoke. Looks like he is one of those managers who is only good at one club. No way Eddie Howe would come to us and Pearson may not fancy us either and tends to fall out with everyone.

Only two realistic options. Paul Cook who has been really good for his last three clubs. He got Chesterfield promoted form league two to league one as champions. They finished in the league one playoffs the following season which got him the job at Portsmouth where they went up as Champions of league two. If that is not enough he then went to Wigan and for them promoted from league two to the championship. True Wigan were relegated last season but they were in desperate fianancial trouble had 12 points deducted sold some of their best players and he almost kept them up.

The other option is Pulis. Of the two I prefer Cook. We should grap him before someone else does.

Didn’t realise Cook had done that well - he should be in the mix with that kind of record and what we are likely prepared to pay.

Pulis would be a really depressing appointment - he did a great job at Stoke but as done nothing since and had absolutely no impact at Wednesday this season.

If Bellamy isn’t an option, I still go for Pearson - he showed at Watford last season how he can turn things on quickly and he did do a really good job with Leicester. He’s also got some fight about him and I’d expect to see that rub off on the players.

Cant get behind this sorry.

Bananarama sang about him.

Mind you they sang about Robert De Niro too.

Bellamy? Don't make me laugh, he's unhinged and makes Roy Keane look like Mary Poppins. He needs to manage and learn first from a smaller less high profile club.

Modern day footballers need man management not coaching. If they don't take to your they down tools.
Modern day footballers for you!!

Warnock might be available soon,Middlesbrough also lost their first game in FA Cup as is his way! Anyone want him back to waste more of our money?
