If you had to get a manager from the Preimer League to replace Rafa ...

[Ratters]

Who would it be I know that the big 4 like to have a proven manager which would normally mean from abroad but lets say you had to choose from the preimer league which manager has achieved success that you think could be moved on to a big club.

[smithdown]

Kevin Ratcliffe.

 

No, hang on...

[Guest Kaizer]

Wenger or Ferguson, the rest is dross.

[Guest Anders Honoré]

those would be bleak prospect indeed.

[RafaShanks]

Shearer?

[Guest Si]

ive never seen a sentence span the entire topic header and message body.

[Ratters]

Ok perhaps i should of said they had to have a chance of saying yes.

 

Its not all dross some managers might just need the right club to take over. Although I would agree on being a risk but isnt it always a bit of a risk.

[Hassony]

Ramos

[Gomez]

Alladyce.

 

Oh, no sorry, you mean currently managing. ;-)

[Guest SpiritualWarrier]

David Moyes

[Rich Gobey]

Snorky

[Ratters]

David Moyes

 

Would piss off Everton but he seems to be good one season crap the next but perhaps i am missing something.

 

But this season with a worse side by far he is on the same points as us so cant be all that s**** not sure on his style being ok for top 4.

hmmm didnt to to well at coventery did he ?

[Guest Prongsy]

Ramos.

 

Wenger and Fergie are not obtainable, Ramos is the best of the rest.

Although he did good in spain the jury is still out for me. We all know that doing well in Spain doesnt mean you going to win the PL easily.

Thats the newcastle fan coming out in you.

 

We need nothing sentimental, we need someone who can galvanize the team.

 

My number one choice would be Mourinho, but in the context of the question it would have to be Moyes.

He couldn't handle a big club. His whole strategy involves being the bullied kid who loses his rag one playtime and freaks everyone out.

Ramos and Sven are the only ones (apart from wenger and mourinho) who might be able to do a job

f***ing hell - thread like this are f***ing s****.

It would be interesting to see how many posters have managed to suspend their wish to see a change in the management now that the owners have stated that they considered a change in the management.

Nobody really pays attention to the kneejerkers to be fair...

It's mind boggling, isn't it?

 

 

I think it was you who mentioned how different the response may have been if Mourinho had been named instead of Hicks too. Or somebody did anyway.

I understand your point but wanting a new manager doesn't mean that you want Rafa treated badly. I'd imagine every poster on here has a great deal of affection for Rafa given everything that he has given us. Even if somone considers that a new manager may make us more likely to be league champions (I stress that personally, I'd like Rafa to stay) I'd imagine that seeing Rafa publicly undermined like this brings a defensive side out in all of us. Its like being annoyed by a member of your family but still reacting with anger when you hear somone else slag them off.
