    Going to throw a random name out there because the others don't feel like an SR appointment to me.

    Brian Priske - let go by Feyenoord in Feb and is currently without a club. Has only had a handful of draws all season (none nil-nil) and was sacked after a 3-0 win over Sparta Rotterdam.

    He's already known to Ankersen having been manager of FC Midtjylland whilst he was there as chairman.

    Dear, god, that's an instant no from me.

    Let's keep that twat as far away from decision making as possible.

    I wouldn't be too keen either, just that the other names (for all their detractions) seem far too sensible. I'm preparing myself for something left-field.

    I was ok with that until you mentioned Ankersen

    I'm bloody sure Ankersen had a silent W at the beginning of his surname.

    Thought Will Still was pretty impressive on MNF tonight.
    Think there’s a good chance he ends up managing in England next season, and even maybe at Southampton??

    A few snippets from Will Still, doing his tactical analysis on MNF last night.

    Sounded like he had just come from an interview with a promotion expecting, championship club?

    Can't say I know about Still other than the good run he had when taking over at Reims. He seems like a bit of a risk to me

    Here’s the tactical/set up bits with Will Still from last night for anyone who’s interested and didn’t watch.

    I was just about to post about the team and tactics required to get promoted and then to stay up

    In the Champ we will dominate some (many?) games, first season back in the EPL we won’t

    A challenge for recruitment

    Seems people are adding 2 and 2 and making 5 at the moment TBH. Besides, it's almost certain Leicester will be looking for a new manager as well.

    Still isn't even on the bookies list for our next manager.

    Bit of ITK for once and apparently if Bristol City don’t go up Liam Manning is on our radar

    That’s interesting. If (and that’s a big if) he did come to us, my big question would be; do we have the players to successfully play that system? Agree though that it did look like a presentation you would give in a job interview…

    It's only a tiny bit, but it sort of reminds me of that clip of RM's team making 78 (or more) passes to score a goal, which was the 'most a team did in Europe and successfully scored a goal'.

    Someone posted underneath that they lost that game 3-2.

    Hmmmmm.....

    Will be lots of new managers at clubs in the championship next season.
    Clubs looking for new managers at the moment
    1. Southampton.
    2. WBA
    3. Norwich

    Probably Leicester / Sheffield Wednesday

    I reckon we'll give it to Jim Magilton. He cant't do any worse.

    I see one flaw in that idea, he'd never leave Ipswich
