    If MP does quit, I will reserve judgement as to his reasons for leaving, when I see how much money the next manager spends on re-building/improving the team.

    Everyone is quick to pour scorn on the board, yet MP may be asking for unrealistic levels of funding, in a deliberate attempt to make his position untenable, so that he is left we no option but to resign or be removed.
    None of us know!

    MP is no fool. For months he's been hiding behind the "What's the hurry to extend my contract, when I still have a year left of the old one?" comments. He's been in football long enough to know that contracts are generally renewed/extended fairly early.
    He's been playing games, IMO, and biding his time to see what offers came his way.

    Yeah, and giving a fan his seat in the dugout? The guy's a loose cannon.

    No to Sherwood with every fibre of my being. Firstly he's a complete idiot, secondly he's tactically clueless. He'd take us down whilst being an idiot. Rather like Redknapp.

    I think Mackay would do a good job.

    Really don't want either of them. I'd go for the Vallecano manager

    As far as ex-Premier League managers go, I think Laudrup is the one I'd be most okay with. Out of the ones we could realistically get, anyway. It'd be interesting to see if Petrescu is any good. It'd be nice to have a manager who has played for us, albeit not for long.

    Is that because of their high possession stats? Who is he anyway?

    Only 11 grand matched on him on Betfair, compared with over a million matched on Van Gaal to Utd. No sign of these 4 figure bets reported in the press. And Mauricio is also quoted in the next Arsenal manager market. I'd say the betting markets aren't really giving that much of a ringing signal yet.

    Paco Jemez, apparently. Former international centreback who took Vallecano to their best ever league season and finished 8th last year... how about that.

    1/3 is also **** all. It just means a few bets have been put on.

    if poch goes due to reduced prospects at this club, i don't think laudrup would be interested. he'd lost interest at swansea, saying that 8th was the limit for them and us. otherwise yeah.

    Poch is a big fan of the europa league , as we all know . Spurs is surley the right job for him .
    IMO he won't last until the new year . Seems a crazy decision if he goes for them .

    I hope your manager stays with you...think if he comes to us he'll just be looking for another club within a year!

    Not cos he's bad but he'll be got rid of as soon as we look like we ain't getting into the top 4
