    Fair enough.

    The one thing I would say though is that every pundit who's a striker says you always have to go across the keeper as it brings the save/rebound into play.

    Meslier's form undoubtably suffered from two seasons constant bombardment and eventually he buckled, but I'd still have more faith in him than Robles over a whole season in the Championship.

    I'd keep Robles but not necessarily as 1st choice. I'd certainly sell Meslier though.

    I don't want to see the spine of the club involve Meslier, Cooper, Forshaw and Bamford. Get rid of the lot.

    Gerrard will hopefully have learn't from his one job in the PL so far.

    Definitely would be a gamble but there's no guarantees with any coach.

    Gerard is utterly hopeless. If he’d stayed any longer at villa they’d have been relegated. They get a new manager and he gets the same team into Europe

    As much as I like him, sadly I’d have to add Ayling to your list.

    But who can we get? That’s surely the issue.

    It is but it’s pointless giving someone with a hopeless track record the job. We can’t afford any more mistakes. Each failed manager sets us further back and is costing tens of millions.

    Fans need to be realistic.

    We can't even get Coberan for fooks sake.

    Potter...sacked
    Rodgers...sacked
    Bielsa...sacked

    Mate they all get the bullet at some point and at least Gerrard had success in Scotland winning titles and trophies.

    Don't get me started.

    Straight away I'd ditch....

    Meslier

    Kristensen
    Ayling
    Struijk
    Llorente
    Koch
    Firpo
    Cooper

    Forshaw
    Aaronson
    Roca

    Bamford

    I'd just tell all of them to **** right off. I'd have told them straight after the final whistle on Sunday.

    Nonsense.

    Radz hired 3 managers/coaches last season and incurred great expense in doing so.

    Scotland?

    I've got a better resume as I once won a 7 a side tournament as player manager. We won a gallon of Carlsberg each. That's better than any SPL trophy.

    Gerard won one league in Scotland. Beale was his right hand man and the brains behind the ioeration. They both went to villa and had some success till Beale moved on to qpr. Gerard was completely stranded without him and now Beale is rangers manager and doing well

    If they'd agree to stay I'd keep all of those you've listed.

    The Championship is a totally different kettle of fish.

    I think Viera would be a good shout. Not managing a club and from what I remember he had to rebuild Palace when he came in there.

    I might well have been reading too much into it, what with the stress and San Miguel but I said to Ben on Sunday, there was something about Gary Mac’s response when questioned about who could be our manager next year that smacked of, he knows who the next manager is going to be (watch the replay and see if you agree). That smacked of Stevie G and Gary Mac, I swear he knows something.

    On a totally different note, got a call from one of the 91/92 title winning team just before 3 on Sunday and can say with 100% certainty (no Twitter crap from Marcos) he, and several of his old team mates cared about what was coming up way more than the passive rubbish I watched an hour and a half later :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Hopefully meeting up with him on Thursday for a beer so will see if he has any goss :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Guys we need a manager who's available now as there's not a cat in hells chance we can entice someone from another club.

    Gerrard or Viera both fit the bill and could be starting work next week.
