    Freedman for me, think he'd sort out the defence in no time.

    If Poyet or Warnock gets appointed I would have them sacked already. And I really mean it!!!!!

    I could see Robinson coming, he's only at MK Dons after all, Clark wouldn't have to move either.

    Warnock would be a decent replacement, but can anyone realistically see him staying around for long. He'd be far to stubborn for Bates' liking.

    Have to say Lee Clark has impressed me in the time he has been a manager, he also looks like the kind of manager who gets on with the players but knows the boundaries and isn't scared to make the players know who is boss, when it is required. However, if the aim is to get back to the EPL then it can only be Warnock.

    News was announced by Shaun Harvey as Ken Bates was returning from South Africa....

    Just a thought but Lucas Radebe would seem to be a possible target...

    Got to be Warnock - he gets people motivated and gives a damn - he gets irate and excited. Emotions are infectious and you need to do that to lead. Poyet has brains, so is a possible contender. We don't need another 'yes' man.

    But to be honest, who will come? Most would ask for guarantees about money for transfers, and FFS, we have just missed the window. I'm concerned that the statement says 'get more out of the existing squad of players' - reading between the lines we were never going to get anyone new and KB expected a miracle in the transfer dealings. Everyone will read that too.

    I say Iain Dowie (cos then you wouldn't be a threat to us). But seriously, you need WGS.

    I hate to say but Warnock, he's got the passion we need to get the players motivated. He'd make the club hated but that's what we need, us against them like the -15 days.

    Take it from me it's Phil Brown as your new manager.. He will be cheap and he is out of work ...

    Its going to be Lucas Radebe, he needs a fan favorite to get the season tickets renewals in.

    Otherwise the cash cow might dry up :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I said it should be Lee Clark but i think its likely to be someone without a current job, i.e. Neil Warnock or Dave Jones not that i'd like either of them to be manager

    He might be able to sort out the defence...

    Welcome! :)

    Out of the ones currently being mentioned, Warnock looks like the obvious choice. My concerns are that A) he has settled down in London; B) he's always banging on about how he spends the weekend in Cornwall at his second home and; C) he won't want to work with Bates (he's worked with difficult chairmen in the past, but nonetheless financially supportive ones).

    I'm sure he'd have taken the Leeds job a few years ago, but he's growing old now and I don't think he'll fancy it. I also think he'll look useless in his first season due to not having a squad with the type of players he likes. This lot are built and programmed to play the Grayson Way, not the Warnock Way, and those are two starkly-different philosophies.
