Who would you want.

Martin o'neil, the only realistic candidate.

when Jol was incharge i remember we had this debate about new manager if it came to it, i was all for Redknapp but as we know the job went to Ramos.

If Redknapp were to leave for the England job i would want to see another good British Manager or someone who's had experience & sucess in the prem before .

Naming realistic hopefuls : Roy Hodgeson , Alex McCleish

Baz ! this might shock people and deduct rep points if anyone feels the need, but i actually rate old neil warnock.


Ok ! he hasnt much prem experience , only that season with sheff utd when west ham cheated them out of survival but i reckon the bloke could do well at spurs.

He,s nobodies fool, doesnt get mugged off by his players and motivates them from the touchline.

Give him better players and i reckon he would more than hold his own in the prem...........but dont worry those that dont agree with me...he has no chance of getting the job, levy would more than likely appoint jordan ! ? and he may be a good trainer but it doesnt necessarily follow that he would make a good manager...we have seen it all before with the likes of brian kidd etc etc.

A few years ago Venables could do no wrong in my eyes but I think his days are over. by the way has anybody seen him lately, he never used to be off the telly, now nobody uses him.

Mourinio would never come in a million years, we couldn't offer him a larger enough transfer chest.

I said before that as nice as big Mart was he had taken us as far as his ability could and it would be a backward step in my opinion.

Neil Warnock is OK dealing with kids and journymen but he's not a top flight manager, but it would be a giggle.

The only one that is out there....or at least we know about.....that could do a great job for us is Hidink. I have a lot of time for the way he organises a side and plans for the opposition.

I'm sure there are some potentially great young managers out there, like the Barcelona guy Guiardino (is that his name)? He came straight into the job at the worlds biggest club and won the lot. Now that would be nice.


But this was about if Harry got the England job, well the FA wouldn't give it to him in a million years. The press have been saying that for some time as the FA think he is dirty and he still has this court case hanging over him and after the Venables debacle they wouldn't want to go there again.

So we have Harry for sometime I just hope he gets his act together soon and starts putting out the right team and coming up with some good results.

i dont think they will give it to harry as hes dirty.

lew warnock is a good shout. i also like hiddink iv been sayin that for years.

but my 1st choice would be the specal 1. imagine if we had him. no more complancy he would expect our players to give theree all in every game. he would go to man u and want to win

Mike, with due respect youngsters and journeymen are all warnock have been able to work with due to zilch budgets at the clubs he has managed, but he has unnearthed jagielka and a couple of others.

I rate the bloke for what he has done but with no money to do it.

I just think that is his level Lew. I couldn't see him taking a team through European competitions. The other thing is that no prem team has gone for him when jobs have come about, that must tell you something.
But you're right, he's not had the chance to manage a big side in the top division, maybe he will get his chance someday, as long as it's not us.

Mikey M

yea i like him. i hope blackpool stay up. they are my 2nd prem team this season and i want qpr to walk the other league

Mike ! i just wonder how ferguson, wenger and mourinho would do without the millions at their disposal ?

How good are those respective managers without being able to work with some of the worlds best players........how would they cope with having to loan sign players, or with a budget of £1 mill at their disposal, how much can they improve players the way warnock obviously has.

You have to remember mike that warnock was cheated out of a premiership place by west ham fielding an illegal player, so his prem record is ok imo.

Good shout Lew, i like Warnock & his no nonsense approach have a rep point

hottest property outside the premier at the moment is Millwalls Jackett. Got Millwall promoted when the club was in financial ruin.
By the time Harry will take the England post he might be the most wanted English manager in the country.

Watch this space....

Thanks lobo.

yea your right lew. fergie always had money and hes brought so many duff buys. hes spent silly money on players

a good manager is sumone who can build a team on a smal budget. i been really inpressed with birmingham.
