That's what I thought. More realistic, to me, than Rodgers 'With Premier experience' suggests someone who isn't employed in the Premier League right now.

I wonder if we could see us 'loaning' O'Neil until the end of the season as Ireland haven't got a competitive game until August and then going for our first choice in the summer?
Works for everyone.

Surely we wouldn't give anyone money to spend in January under such an arrangement, though, would we?

Would be a sensible strategy, unless you can tempt Rodgers away from Celtic

IMO we should be looking at Mancini, Van Gaal Gus Hiddink we get MON, Roy Keane lol we are wank.

Would Pearson not also be complicated, given his attachment to the Leicester owners...?

I guess it would depend how much?
This is exactly why it should have been done in the summer, it was always likely to be a clusterfuck leaving it until January.

If it was Benitez, wouldn't he have simply said that it was a Premiership manager, rather than saying it was a manager with Premiership experience?

Yep, agreed. But you'd think we are going to have to spend some serious money to keep us up. The squad, as it is now, just won't do it.

Rowett would be the dream ticket for me. Pay the compo and sell the club to him. I donât think Derby pay enough in wages for him being able to buy us. Also I donât like the idea of Manager/owner.

Having read the wide-ranging and disparate (even desperate?)names being touted on this forum, is there anyone on these wish lists of 20+ possibles that will NOT alienate up to 50% of this board if appointed? I can see only Benitez, Rodgers or Rowett being accepted by the majority, the latter with some reservations re experience.

Quote But the club's owners do no intend rushing into a decision over the weekend and are not expected to make a significant move until the start of next week. Jesus Christ we should be working like crazy to get the new manager in so he can get his targets into the side. Why do we always seem to go at snails pace? If anything that is just not to raise everyone's hopes. No reason why many discussions haven't already taken place. I would wager a new manager is in place by Wednesday lunchtime. Seems that way to me. Hopefully Iâm not giving the club credit where it is not due, but if we hadnât been tapping people up over the last week, then it seems very odd that a cup defeat would be the thing that would suddenly make them fire him, especially within hours of said defeat. It also makes me optimistic that we will get somebody decent in, if we wanted McClaren for example Iâd have imagined heâd be here by now. To be honest though, a change of any type is needed, it seemed relegation would be pretty much nailed on if we hadnât acted. Itâs sad really, because 3 top half finishes in a row seems nigh on impossible to happen again any time soon, but heâd definitely lost the players.

Mancini anchelotti tuchel should be looking at Big players don't matter, results do and Rowett gets results. Hughes' 'contacts' didn't get him far did it? Listen to yourself and the 3 names you have mentioned. Unbelievable. Ancelotti who has been at Juventus, Chelsea, PSG, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in that order is going to come to a bottom 3 Premier League side? Give your head and wobble.

Would've liked to have seen a premier league manager, but Rowett or even Pearson would make sense now. I'm sure they'd give it a go to stay up, but ultimately they'll be decent championship managers for us. I was going to say, Rowett has an âeye on the Championshipâ feel about him to me.

I think that's now our best option. I wouldn't want O'Neill for any longer than that and he wouldn't leave a cushy international job for a six month deal. It must be tough to sell the club to new players who know you won't be there after the end of the season though. It all goes to show what a mess the club have made by waiting until now. I think the best that we can do is scrape survival and then bring in a new broom (please let it be Bielsa) in the summer. I think Rowett has a lot to prove. Most only know him because of his unfair sacking at Birmingham. Has anybody totally ruled out Ranieri yet? Whoever comes in will ultimately have their hands tied by the best part of ÂŁ140,000 going to Imbula and Bojan every week for the next three and a half years, as well as whatever money Shaqiri is stealing with his wage. That's our three highest earners doing absolutely nothing for the club.

Two thirds of our squad Willbe away on international duty in March anyway.

Best part of 300k a week on Imbula, Bojan, Shaqiri and Berahino for the next four years or so - none of whom you could fit into a formation we'd be likely to play in a relegation scrap or promotion push.

Or Benitez. Nixonâs cryptic âit could be later next week before they will know if the person is availableâ could relate to the timing/possible collapse of Newcastleâs takeover perhaps?
