Iâm sorry in a daft sort of way, that Bruce had to be sacked, he should have done the honorable thing and offered his resignation weeks ago. But agree he had to go! Who should manage this club, my club, our club? I donât know. All I know is that I want someone who can lift the gloom, get results, make me proud. Of the three managers that seem to be (most) peoples favorites for the job Mark Hughes David Moyes Martin OâNeill The first two have managed clubs with low budgets (city excepted for Hughes), and have done so quite well without setting the world alight. Martin OâNeill has on paper had the most success, and bought some decent players, but has had a fair amount of money. Each one will have his good points and bad. I just donât know enough about any of them, except Cestâs well documented love affair with MON, to decide. Iâm just pleased itâs not my decision to make. Could have put this on an existing thread, but wanted to give you guys a chance to put reasons why you want or donât want a particular manager. Cest, Iâll take your reasons as read, and very good reading they were.
TBH I would be happy with any of them, dont think Moyes is in the running so its one from two. I prefer Hughes but cant say why, just gut feeling so if its O'Neil I wont be sad. Just want it done quickly
I think overall Mon would have a bigger impact than Hughes because he seems to have more character and can be a bit more contraversial.
This: MON has an enthusiasm about him that Hughes lacks, but as Syd has already said, the sooner the manager is in place the better, whoever he may be.
Mark hughes just doesnt 'grab' me in the way MoN does. Idk why, I think its because MoN has won stuff and has a bit more experience.
MON is the outstanding candidate imo he has a proven track record at clubs like ours. Id take him ahead of Hiddink, Ancellotti, Rafa or any of others mentioned
