No rumors,  no links,  nothing?

So quiet thought there would have been some sort of statement thanking Smith and Co for their efforts or something. 

Surely even our board know the importance of sorting this quickly. 

Can any ITKs put his mind at rest?

I am fairly certain Rudkin and Top's concentration this week is on the Derby. That's a hunch

Racing manager will take care of that and trainer Andrew Balding, very little for them to do

Rudkin will stick his nose in somehow. Probably try and sell the horse.

Or the horse will pull up lame and Rudkin will be straight down in the paddock with a five-year contract in his hand…

As long as it’s not Gerrard or Lampard. Feels like both get jobs on the back of their playing reputations (which they were both fantastic players) rather than being good coaches/managers.

 

Would much rather someone who has played at a good level but cut their teeth as a manager and worked up. Which is why Michael Duff intrigues me. 
 

Of the same names that go round, I wouldn’t be completely against Hassenhuttl. Or that other Red Bill coach, Jaissle(?).

 

I like Robins but he signed the new contract. 
 

Schumacher from from Plymouth but would he leave them having just for up? Same as with Duff but got the promotion.

Jaissle intrigues me, but I also remember Marsch coming with a similar background and reputation. I think it would be a gamble the club would be unwilling to take.

I really don’t care who we get now as long as something is sorted soon.

Parker over Carrick for me as he has two promotions with teams relegated and straight back twice. Still only young as a manager.

Ominously quiet, it's going to be Smith isn't it.

That is my thought

[winteriscoming]

Guaranteed we’ll go with someone with premiership or championship experience. I’m not sure about Hassenhutl. I do think he’s a decent manager but I can’t believe an adequate coach would lose 9 nil twice. And not of learnt something from the first one. I also remember him crying on the touch line after winning his first match against Klopp. Seems similar to Rodgers if plan a is working he’s fine but found wanting when plan b is needed.

He is not the worst shout at all….he struggled at Villa but was a success at Rangers …..he has a point to prove, can relate to modern players, good coach in Gary Mac, won’t mess with ego, been there and done it as a player…….not saying he would be top,of my list just giving some balance ……

That's how I look at it, learnt teaching the youth sides at Liverpool, got an opportunity at Rangers and did well, especially well in Europe by their standards, and especially Scottish teams standard. Tried his arm at Villa and it didn't work out but they needed an elite 20 year experienced manager to step in. Win rate wasn't much worse than Smiths at Villa and that included being in the championship with Grealish in the team. 

People calling for Carrick, (can't see him leaving there for us), not too dissimilar, both didn't rush in to first team managing, learned before jumping in, took a championship team and molded it to what he want, like Gerrard could. People judging on a club that no one had any success at for years with Villa

We do need to make an appointment sooner rather than later, we need to get him in and then start a big rebuild ready for next season. Could do without playing in that Asian friendly tournament for our preparation though.

Someone whose got a promotion from that league recently is the absolute prerequisite

I thought the itk said it’s going to be Potter, Vieira, Jassie, Hassenhuttl or Smith. 

[LVFox]

CEO has left West Brom. Its an absolute sinking ship there!

 

Get Corberan in!

[Stinkenzo]

Rudkin

 

Then we can (perhaps) sack him when we go 15 games without a win next season and get him out of the club for good 

[Ric Flair]

Smith might do well here but I can't help but feel, the recent past has proven, managers on the up that don't view having to drop down to the Championship again succeed more than those like Smith. All three promoted teams this season have been young, progressive managers.

Agreed. 
 

Everyone in here seems obsessed with experience for some reason.

So the list is Parker, Farke, Wilder, Bilic, Warnock, Nuno from about the last 5 years. Some are still in a strong position like Frank, Silva obviously the 3 promoted teams this year. I'd rather have someone who just has a promotion then you can include Duff, Robins and McKenna

Is that Vag Jaissle from Red Bull? He's a right bright one apparently.

Saints and Swansea still yet to agree compensation over Russell Martin….
