So, at the moment we seem to have these possible names in the hat: Neil Critchley Chris Wilder Mark Robins Anthony Barry (Scum) Brian Barry-Murphy (Citeh) Lee Bowyer Not a bad short-list … be interesting to know who everyone is up for. I’ll put my preference out there … Neil Critchley (I fear he may be too expensive), so second choice of Brian Barry Murphy
Please god not Bowyer, blokes just a thug along the lines of Barton. Can't see how Critchley would be more expensive than Beale was. I'd like either Wilder or Robins, but I'd really like the Moroccan manager !
Surely Bowyer wouldn't be a good fit? We can't go from a progressive appointment like Mr Snake to someone like that. We want a proper coach.
I don't know much about Wilder - I thought he was supposed to have been quite innovative with the way he set up the Blades team that got them out of the championship? Edit - I've just read his wiki. Seems an amazing record. Why wouldn't we want him?!
Dunno, just seems like an old school porker to me, manager for hire, I’d prefer someone who’s building a career. Like Beale but honest.
Like you, I'd prefer a younger coach with fresh ideas, carving out his career but already having some demonstrable achievements. Nevertheless, having looked at Wikipedia, Wilder does have an impressive record.... Either way, genuine honesty, trust and loyalty would make a refreshing change.
Les said that they have a short list of managers which is continuously updated.... which might shorten timescales a little.
