Was McNally the one who also hired Sanchez at Fulham?
If he was, I hope he has since lost his contact details

Seriously? He'd be my first choice without a doubt, just can't see it happening though if he's already turned down Villa

i'd just worry that it would be a very steep learning curve if that is the way we decide to go...that said i'd get behind it...
him turning down villa was really strange in itself - offering the reason of his family as his non interest, but he'd have talked that over well before he considered meeting up with them...
Hughton is the only sensible, realistic and dare I say it, ambitious choice currently open to us.
Unless we employ someone from abroad?
Don't think anybody from abroad would be sensible or realistic option to be honest with you. We need a British manager who knows the Premier League at this moment in time.

I don't see why Malky is so hotly-tipped. I appreciate that he's a bit of a legend for you guys on the pitch, but managerially he has shown himself to be solid but unspectacular.
I have more time for Malky than I do for the new Liverpool manager. But looking at it objectively, Brendan Rodgers brought in or improved most of the players that Malky relied on (with the notable exception of John Eustace), and led us to a better finish than Malky ever did. In the month that Malky left to join Cardiff, we sold our top scorer, top assist maker and most creative player for a combined total of £4.5m, and got a further windfall of ~£1.8m from Ashley Young. Sean Dyche spent £1.2m of that on completely rebuilding the squad, and finished in the top half of the table.
And although he deserves credit for a Carling Cup run (beating two lower league clubs, three Championship clubs, and one of the most hapless Premier League clubs of recent years), his league record is worse than Dave Jones' last two years.
Darren Eadie has just tweeted that Karl Robinson at MK Dons might be a good shout.
à ge Hareide is the man for you guys. Experienced International Manager, and good ol Norwich boy, looking to follow Woy's footsteps from Viking Stavanger to the PL!
