Im only looking at Skybet, which only seems to update these odds every few hours. Hence Gerrard is still the leader lol. And Bruce is only 1/8 to be next Prem manager to level, watch that one skyrocket.
Eddie Howe - 9/4 Steven Gerrard - 3/1 Antonio Conte - 4/1 Rafael Benitez - 5/1 Frank Lampard - 9/1 Jose Mourinho - 12/1
Conte is the clear choice for me, can be appointed straight away, and is a high profile manager who will be attracted by the prospect of funds and being able to build his team. Howe or Gerrard? Ain't happening.
Having had Bruce I'd take Howe or Gerrard, however given our new situation it would be nice to get a more proven manager.
Good thing is for any incoming manager is we don't expect instant trophy's so it's a good gig to be able to slowly build
People like Zidane won't want that. I reckon Mourinho would be all over us like a cheap coat, genuinely
I dont want Rodgers or Martinez. I want a manager, whoever it may be, who can come in and be a manager for us for circa 4-5 years. Someone who can weather the storm of this season, take the club slowly up the table and into top half fighters and perhaps have a good run in a few cup comps. If its Mourinho, I'd give him 5 years minimum and ignore all the noise, patience and cash will result in us being a good side, he can get teams playing still. Both Utd, Spurs and now Roma were all better under Jose than their replacements, even with the replacements having better or the same level of squad. His sacking at Spurs was 100% the wrong decision. Martinez was useless at Everton, ask any Everton fan that. Brendan is a lot better but I don't think he has the acumen for the fight Newcastle will be.
