New Manager Poll

[Peter Venkman]

for me it's realistically between byrne, cotterill, holloway and ward.

Again agreed, I wish to cast my vote against Ward or Byrne but the middle 2 I am inclined to prefer as a choice, but as Sam says...I want us to get back to winning games again no matter who is in charge, I have missed actually looking forward to games, the anticipation of a match on a Saturday has wained so much recently.

For crying out loud, why would Poyet have stayed last time round? He had just moved back to the country and wanted to remain a member of Team Wise, how on earth can we feel angry for this?

Wheres the anger? just feel if he had wanted the hot seat here he had the opportunity back then, he has since had a failed spell as assistant manager at a top club where somehow they took Spurs to the bottom of the league, hardly selling himself as a great potential future manager is he?

[Rich Pullen]

Anger was a generic term not directed at yourself.

Every person linked to the job has ultimately failed at some point in 2007 & 2008.

Do you think that whoever the new manager is will have a monkey on his back? Also how many swallows will he say makes a summer?

These questions will obviously be asked during the interview process.

[Berniman]

I've realised I don't give a fuck who our next manager is, I really have no preference. As long as they win games and actually try to play football then Samdy will be a happy man

I agree, but also have realised that I am bored talking about it now and am just happy to sit and wait and see!  What's gonna happen is gonna happen and there ain't shit anyone on here can do about it!

I don't disagree that Byrne might be able to do a decent job, but I think the appointment of the next manager goes beyond merely getting someone in that can do the job. The next man needs to be able to galvanise the whole club, excite fans and bring those still not willing to return back.

See what you're saying but it all comes to down to results and performances. We could appoint the biggest name in the game, but if they don't get results that "big name" lustre will fade within a few games; conversely we could appoint my lads' under 7s coach (who is a very good coach incidentally) and while there'd be an initial "Arsene who?" factor, if he gets the team playing and winning, that will get crowds coming back and generate more exictement than a name alone ever could in the medium term.

There's been a lot of "Look what Arry did for Spurs" talk of late - I guess what I'm saying is "Look what Ramos didn't do for Spurs" - big name, big flop.

What is all this nonsense about "we would never have come back like that under MM"?-thats being a bit harsh in my opinion,remembering coming back to win at Hereford and twice coming back away at league leaders Scunthorpe-they showed that day that they were capable when they put their minds to it.An outsider at that game could easily have said "they obviously want to play for their manager".

[leefer]

Its about money though Adje...we could have lost to Scunthorpe and Liecester yet if wede beaten Histon,QPR and Brighton in the cups MM would still be here probably.

Let's be honest though Paul some of Ramos' failures were not all down to him and some were (why did they fire the DOF as well ??!!), bit of a mixed bag, but Ramos will go back abroad and do well, english football is not for him too tough.

Personally we stand a better chance of winning and improving if we appoint someone with experience of english football and experience of the leagues, and hopefully that 'name' will be able to attract a better calibre of players as they would want to play for him as a lot of the lads did for Sturrock - he was the reason a lot signed for us remember, he left us with some decent players.

Whoever is appointed will be a risk full stop, it always is at every club, but history suggests (as Fitton pointed out) No 2's don't always make the best managers, very few have suceeded, and I for one would be extremely dissapointed in Fitton if Byrne got the job.

This is a big task for Fitton, as he got it wrong with MM, he has to prove he can appoint a good manager this time.

Peter Taylor ? that would be fantastic but I can't see it somehow, too many out of work managers to choose from.

[DV]

Will any manager actually make everyone happy?

I dont get all this hatred for Byrne as someone I said (I think it was Tails) I doubt he is many peoples first choices but wouldnt be the end of the world if he was appointed.

If we want a recently retired player taking his first steps into full management, then why not Byrne?

Byrne has got the best platform to promote himself - he has a chance to get results. Holloway and everyone else cant do that. They cant win us games to get noticed!

[Don Rogers Shop]

Think a total clean sweap is needed dv. Lets get a manager who can have his own backroom team(would byrne change much). The players then all start with a clean slate someone new to impress. With byrne you do feel he has his favourites as did malpas.

[adje]

If we get a good'un he'll soon be gone-if we get a bad'un He'll soon be gone

[Don Rogers Shop]

If they take us up and leave i don't care.

Bart wants who ever he can moan about, so knowing Bart anyone!!

In the perfect world I'd get Sturrock back down here best manager in the lower leagues.
