I agree he'd be good for us, but what can we offer that Brighton can't? I know it sounds arrogant but surely were a more attractive club in terms of facilities, potential, money etc than brighton? I didnt realise he had just signed a new contract! Also you qouted me before i edited my spelling mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rynny Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Plenty of reasons for and against most managers mentioned. I don't think there is a single stand out choice. Most are much of a muchness. I don't envy Mel and Sam at all in making this choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Apart from Pearson who has taken a team out of this division and kept them up. If its true that he fancied the job in January it is madness that we didn't employ him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got wealthy ambitious owners (who are apparently better at picking managers than Mel), a new stadium that's about the same size as ours and can be extended, good attendance figures and a new 'state of the art' training ground. I'm not saying that they're better than us, just that they are pretty much on a par, so why would a manager leave a position where things were going well for a new job with a very similar club?

They were in financial difficulties and were having to sell anyone who they could - they were in real turmoil. Once the new owners came in, Pearson was able to stabilise things. He started then next season well and they were a point outside the play-off places when Leicester came back in for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half fan Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Lies, damned lies and statistics. Sir Winston Churchill's record wasn't too good prior to 1940 (Dardenelles) nor in 1945 (lost the general election). If Mel signs Suarez and Sturridge, DW will get us promoted and into Europe. QED!

Like I said plenty of reasons for and against everyone we are linked with. I don't have a preferred choice but then again I don't have a definitely not him either. I will just wait in anticipation and get behind whoever is appointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archied Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Hope it's Pearson now ,,, I reckon we could have got Rogers ,,, missed that boat ,,, sadly I reckon it's Wassall ,,, if it is all that excitement and optimism I felt when Mel came in goes flatter than a witches tit, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I was pinning my hopes on Rodgers coming in, giving the time that has elapsed since PC was sacked and now it's slightly worrying there is no noise coming from anyone about even interviews. I wonder if anyone we consider to come in will have reservations given that DW would be at the club. There would always be a worry that as he as the owners ear that he will be undermining the new manager, not that he would of course, but it must be a consideration for any candidate.

Yani P Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Hopefully its something that they resolve very quickly - they have had since Clement left to build plans of how the recruitment would be carried out. I guess they held fire until the Hull game was over but the last thing the club needs is this to drag on for weeks. Hopefully they are planning a long list already..
