Bit of a step up This guy was an assistant at Man utd under Solskjaer, basically what Maresca is now, promoted to the first team by Mourinho. He has won promotion, an he'd be going from a championship team to another championship team, I don't think it's much of a step up. If we kept Smith an Ipswich keep Mc Kenna, I wouldn't be shocked if Ipswich finished above us. Edited 5 June 2023 by Beachyboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 5 June 2023 Share Posted 5 June 2023 McKenna is the standout of those five in that he’s the only one I’d feel fairly positive about and is on the way up rather than simply unemployed which seems to be our criteria in manager searches. I’d have Parker over Smith or Gerrard but appreciate I’m probably in the minority there. I have absolutely no clue about Enzo Maresca apart from the fact he was dynamite the season Boro reached the UEFA cup final. At least he’d represent us thinking vaguely outside the box? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He works in perhaps the best academy in the world right now, works under Pep who seems to spawn quality managers and could get us decent loans in the short term and could actually develop Seagrave in the long term.

Safestandingfox Posted 5 June 2023 Share Posted 5 June 2023 Surely if the ever knowledgeable board were so convinced of Smith he'd already have been given the job permanently? The entire situation is beggars belief. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniFox21 Posted 5 June 2023 Share Posted 5 June 2023 Didn't Maresca turn down Southampton, citing wanting to work with Pep longer? Why would he change his mind, we're not exactly any better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Posted 5 June 2023 Share Posted 5 June 2023 This is the board that masterminded one of the worst relegations in top flight history. Don't know why people are expecting an inspiring appointment or any sort of strategy from these clowns. It'll be Smith on a 3 year deal after they've wasted weeks fannying around. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaks volumes that other promotion candidates are without a manager and they are not linked to him and Leicester are not concerned he might get offered another vacancy.

Claudio Fannieri Posted 5 June 2023 Share Posted 5 June 2023 Seems a strange one that Percy has the complete shortlist, so would be happy with Maresca or McKenna as both would be progressive appointments. Parker and Farke would be decent for the championship but i would have concerns should we get promoted. Gerrard is a bit of a Hail Mary, if he has learnt lessons then could still be a great appointment but I do have worries he is another Lampard. Smith is a real meh appointment for me, didn’t really set the world alight in his 8 games and doesn’t inspire me, for me we need someone who will come in and really raise the whole mood of the club, Smith doesn’t do that for me.

Yeh if we want to be a decent championship team. That's not what we want. We want someone to rebuild us and take us back to challenging in the top half of the prem. We want someone young and hungry who we can hopefully keep for a few years. You really think someone like Mowbray would get us straight back up and then keep us in the prem and build us up? I don't.
