Manager for the Championship rebuild - who do you want?

[Happy Fox]

For me either Mark Robins if he doesn’t get Coventry promoted surely.

 

Rafa would be good but I doubt he would come, seeing as we didn’t even offer him the contract.

My worry is we appoint someone like Russel Martin or Scott Parker, and we will just flounder in the bottom Half of the championship.

I keep reading this purely because he used to play for us (wasn't even any good), he's a bottom half championship manager at best, used to working in L1/L2 type players and is clearly not the answer at all.

Bring back Pearson, Just the man for the rebuild. Not everyone's cup of tea but he is Mr Leicester City. 

[AKCJ]

 

I will love it and I think I deserve it.

[LVFox]

Seen him mentioned on here and I'm fully all for it, with a major playing staff reset to boot.

Gyokeres and Hamer have propelled them to those heights, as did Grealish for Dean Smith when they won the play-offs at Villa, doesn't mean he should stay and take on the most important rebuild in our history.

 

The most important thing for me is to cut down on the coaching staff, too many voices on the bench offering absolutely nothing from Stowell and Sadlers time in charge.

Is anybody worried that if we mess this appointment up we could see ourselves stuck in the mud of the championship for a multiple years just like last time.

[Foxes with Sprit]

I've said it before and i'll say again, Mark Van Bommel.  Lots of intelligence and fight in him.  Got a track record behind him, experience , playing honours the lot. Building youth.  He has Kompany vibes.

League 1 could be beckoning, it's not like it hasn't happened to similar sized clubs.

Lool at how we looked against a Blackburn team putting out a weak squad. That team didn't even make the play offs. If we continue our form we will be mid or lower mid table championship easily.

That’s why it’s crucial that we make the best appointment possible to finish top 2, someone like Rafa or someone that has a clear playing style at this level akin to what Burnley produced this season.

 

I wouldn’t trust us if we finish in the playoffs.

I want someone who can sort out this chronic injury problem we have.

[st albans fox]

Not smith 

(and sadly for some of you, not Nigel) 

[funkyrobot]

A lot of encouraging names on here but unfortunately we are forgetting how poor our senior management team have been for the last two years. The appointment will be as tragic as it is inevitable - Welcome to the new era…..

I heard a bloke called Dave Rennie was reasonably competent in this field!

Seagrave needs an entire investigation, there's got to be more to it than ignorance to player conditioning. It's been utterly disgraceful for over 3 years now. 

[Wrighty22]

Whoever comes in we need to make sure we have a total clear out of all the backroom staff. A proper rebuild.

[LcFc_Smiv]

Michael Duff, lacks experience of managing in the league, but has been here as a player and as a coach while at Burnley. Demands standards within his team on and off the field, has already overseen a decent rebuild of Barnsley in a toxic environment, has worked developing younger players and from a staff point of view he lets them voice their opinions and have a say, like Leicester used during the time of Pearson and Ranieri, rather than run a managerial dictatorship. Has worked on a shoestring budget as well in previous roles.

Gerrard for some fight and passion , but fear he's not experienced enough to build a new squad 

[Trelleh]

After the shit we’ve had to endure for the last 2 years, we deserve Nige.

yea smith shouldn't stay, we need a completely fresh start, but claiming robins is a bottom half manager when he's improved Coventry every season is a bit daft

He has done absolutely wonders with no budget and no ground at times. I’m not saying he is the best option but he has done more than some of the shouts ie Martin and Pearson with the same sort of budget, if not less.

 

And I ain’t talking about just this season, he has taken Coventry from League 2 to Championship play offs. Doesn’t happen often.

Rob Edwards - Luton

Michael Carrick - Middlesbrough

Mark Robins - Cov

 

Though I expect it will be Scott Parker or Russell Martin

 

Between the 2 I would probably prefer Parker as at least he has recent experience with Fulham and Bournemouth of getting promoted
