CumbrianRam Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Ally McCoist? We do seem to like the Scottish leagues a lot seeing as a few of our signings come from there! You or I could do the same as he is doing with that Rangers team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChorleyRam Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Just been looking at the favourites for the job on sky bet. If we appoint Appleton or Mcclaren then we are going to stay the same as the last 5 years - mid table Championship team. I just fear with this board that it will be exactly that kind of appointment. They'll be after another cheap yes man. Which rules anyone out with any kind of proven record. Pulis or O'Neill for me, even if it wouldn't be pretty to watch.

That's optimistic - I have us down for at least 1 relegation with either of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notts_ram Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Havent seen any posts on here saying that Pulis might not even want the job? Not sure how large his ego is but he is by rights a proven Premiership manager, why would he come to us? I didnt see Mark Hughes dropping down a division and I rate Pulis as a far better manager than Hughes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Derby Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Appleton has done absolutely nothing. Megson is interested though. God help us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 McClaren or Appleton won't get 5 years. Whoever is coming in is going to be expected to get us challenging in the next 12 months. No more long term plans. There's a lot of pissed off fans at the moment, who are not going to give the new manager a lot of time to settle.

mcsilks Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Agreed about Pulis maybe not fancying the job. Clough's remit appears to been to get the club promoted on a pittance. What manager in their right mind would come to a club with little or no money available for transfers and a squad of only 17 fit players made up of mainly academy players come good and lower league players brought in for next to nothing. I've heard Sean Dyche's name been mentioned. Get real would you! Burnley are at least as bigger club as we are. I cannot really think of a name currently out of work who I'd like at the club but if the board make a mess of this one they could quite easily rip apart the four plus years of very hard toil that Clough and his management team put in building foundations.

notts_ram Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I can sense the Forest Fans are waiting to get their revenge on the abuse they got after the McLaren/McLeish fiascos, I hope to heavens our board dont give them that opportuinity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveram1962 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 What is needed methinks Sell Hughes to create the capital to create a team of players good enough. Bring in ANY manager with contacts and transfer deal ability who also has a plan b! Pulis has the experience to get us out the league it will not be popular though McClaren has not a clear enough record in this league but has contacts Poyet would work and has proven transfer skills Appleton would be good..... And cheap In the long run it will be looked on as a good day for the rams feel sorry for Clough he has done an amazing job given resources available. Many teams would be in div 1 in the same circumstances. He has been conned by the board like the rest of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-JW- Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Pulis is one of the most passionate managers out there. I recall a stoke game where he turned up to manage the team halfway through the first half despite his mother passing away earlier in the day.

Mafiabob Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Pulis is one of the most passionate managers out there. I recall a stoke game where he turned up to manage the team halfway through the first half despite his mother passing away earlier in the day. I remember this. And there's people already writing him off and other potential managers off before they even set foot here. Time to move on people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwram1973 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I would have Pulis here in a heatbeat. For god sake guys, he's a proven premiership manager who has also taken a team up, on a low budget. For me it's a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Seeing as we're throwing out names of random international ex players, I'll plump for Aljosa Asanovic, currently assistant manager at Lokomotiv Moskow and a very astute tactician, apparently. The brains behind Bilic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
