I would love to see nuno here but only if he WANTS to be here .Persolally IF he is having talks with Everton he doesnt want to be here he only wants a job and a job is not going to get what we need done done it is a long term almost rebuilding of the squad is needed, it is not for someone who is going to run for the hills at the first argument with Steve. It has to be a long term committment . whether it is , Cooper (i dont thinks he is ready yet ) definatley not Nuno if he is talking to Everton , Sean Dyche would be my choice for the loyalty he has shown to Burnley . But it has to be someone who wants to work as it is a very big task .

It's why I said elsewhere that, for all his shortcomings, there were never any doubts about Roy's attitude and loyalty to the club. I would hate to see the new guy use us as a stepping stone. We really need stability although that's a rare commodity in football management. That's the one aspect of Dyche's character that I find reassuring. And, you're right, the task here is huge. Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Originally posted by eaglesdare Has anyone mentioned neil warnock yet? He's really loved up here and has actually done a job at Boro, not too dissimilar to the position we are in. Boro are losing the likes of Asombalonga and Fletcher this season as their contracts have run out. He actually finished the season not playing them because of it and is looking at doing a rebuild job on a shoe-string budget. Edited by Mwncisee (02 Jun 2021 4.45pm)

I'm warming to Ismael. Barnsley must have some under rated players and he must know who they are. What he did up there was a miracle and he is much loved by their fans and players. Was it Chelsea that they really had a go at in the cup? No sitting back. If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

Originally posted by CrazyBadger Funny read this thread. No one contender for the job seems to have full backing by everyone, for my part; Nuno: Not sure where the Hype has come from for this guy - did really well transforming Wolves from a champ outfit to a hit-the-ground-running PL side, which has outlasted The 'difficult second season', but this has been done through acquisitions and some proper coup signings (mounthinho!?) thanks to his associations with Mendes. Is Mendes affiliated with the club or the Manager? Can he perform outside of That environment? one thing is for sure, they Lost Jiminez and Jota, and at times looked like a disaster waiting to happen this season. Saying that, any manager who can get Traore to look like a vague imitation of a footballer, has to have something about him! Cooper: Good history with youth and England setup. Did well with the Swans without Setting the world alight. The singular Swans fan I know is very much 'Meh' about him leaving. feels a bit like Hodgson who looks to the youth. expect some dire performances. Difficult to expect PL survival. Feels like a good fit for our current state! Howe: I've said Plenty about Howe on this board. did good on an extended project at Bournemouth which Started in league Z. things got Stale in the PL after 3-4 years here. that sh*t happens to loads of managers. finds it hard to Organise a defence...which coincidentally is the first job here. Lamps: Hard to call him a failure after his success at Derby(even if it was backed by Chelsea reserves), and 1st season at Chelsea. only fell apart at Chelsea after he was asked to integrate 30 new players into a new team. (which included no defenders). If he had a say in the transfers, then that's on him, if not then it's in the DOF @ Chelsea. Tuchel has come in and done well, but those same new players had had almost a year to acclimatise to each other. and he bought Thaigo Silva. Dyche: Similar to Hodgson, and therefore uninspiring. probably do alright. seems a pointless move for him though. Ishmael: Bit of an unknown quantity for me tbh, What I know of him has been written on this thread! based on that probably the most exciting of names in the Hat. no guarantee of success (but then, who is?!) I just want a manager who fits with the boards ideas and is in with time to work on preseason. At this point, any of the above could fit that profile. Fair assessment that.

Having watched some of the first play off game I was not impressed. Worries me he’s another one trick Dowie.
