Hecky or JDT what your opinion lads? Probably a lack of experience on both but we aren't going get a perfect match. Onr thing is for sure, this is going to be one of the most important appointmants in the club's history and they have to get it right but the board's track record is pretty grim.

I can get behind JDT. With the exception of the defence our squad is better than Blackburns. No way BM. Literally every player in Blackburns team would get tin ours. Wharton is an elite Premier league player in the champ. Dolan, Szmodicis, Sigurdsson, Moran would all walk into our team. My honest main reservation about JDT is that he has fell onto a quality squad at Blackburn and its flattering him slightly. Like I say, Wharton will end up at a Tottenham/Utd for 30/40 million. Fell on to a quality squad of his own making then.

Could it conceivably be Frank Lampard? He has been trying to get back into football and was vying with Smith for the Charlotte job. He was also touted as possible Bristol replacement. I wouldn't have thought Charlotte were any more attractive than us and I saw this snippet today reflecting on the Dean Smith appointment. "It is not clear if Lampard himself pulled out of the race to take over, or was overlooked." He definitely needs a way back in. Two Stoke related moments I remember, giving Ollie Shenton his shirt and taking the dogs abuse at the Boothen with a smile, then goal!. I could see the JC appeal. Would it be that bad? and could he pull some strings in January? Frank has probably got one job left until he's in the wilderness so he needs to pick his next job very carefully. Stoke will finish any ambitions of his of managing at the highest level. I was reading an interview with him suggesting he's not had a "project" chance and has an identity he wants to create. Graham Souness said he did a great interview with Rangers but narrowly missed out. He was definitely interviewed for Charlotte and missed out to DS. You'd think it will be a Championship club and that's a small pool of possibles with the right backing. He could definitely command respect from the players. Saved Everton in much more difficult circumstances. Play offs first go with Derby. The first Chelse stint was very respectable. Cooper took Forest from this exact position to the PL. I'm not so sure there are many better jobs with the backing, he can't hang on much longer.

You just know Scott Parker would think he's better than little old Stoke and have the attitude of someone who'd be doing us a favour. I doubt he'd venture further north than Watford too.

JDT 5s with BV & 4s with Hills. Dick Schreuder slowly coming down too but Hills and BV don't even have him priced. Big Sam creeping up in everyone's blind spot 😉🤣 Interview would have been in Bolton. RM - Can you be in Rugby at 10.00am SA - Bye huge concern with this appointment iOS the quality guys will have a good football network and on that basis Martin is a millstone hes no reputation of any gravitas in the game

Loved watching Wharton the other week. Top player in the making. Impressive out of possession, covered ground well. Wasn’t as tidy on the ball as I thought he would have been but ability clear to see. Liked Tyler Moreton for Hull also, on loan from Liverpool.

Think im on JDT bus but see it as unlikely... if Eustace was there last night then looks like its him.... i actually wouldnt be averse to big Sam at least his teams have identity and he used to pull players frome here there and everywhere and get a tune out of them. Whoever it may be its a big job because the confidence is clearly at 0 %

If Allardyce is interested in the job and it's a genuine interest rather than a profile raiser, it would be interesting to know what the owners thought of it, and whether they would persue it?

A wealth of experience and knowledge then. Kranjcar at number 10. Crouch and defoe up top. You know it makes sense. With big Yakubu on the bench to come on for the last 10 mins.

Depressing on the face of it but I actually think he'd get a tune of of this rabble with a couple of additions in January. Wouldn't be delighted but would be happy to give him a chance and hopefully end up pleasantly surprised.

I'm not convinced at all and think we need to go young, fresh and foreign but wonder whether the owners could resist?

Where are we now as a collective in the 7 stages have gone from Potter, Nuno etc al to Fat Sam, Warnock, etc al 😃 Probably far closer to reality with our board... 😞

One of the prerequisites of a new manager should be a willingness to give young players a chance. What's the point of improving our academy over the last 10/15 years otherwise?
It's one of the reasons why I could live with Tomasson as a choice.............

Exactly Prestwich, youth has to be nurtured and developed as a number one priority, paying it lip service should not be accepted.

I seriously hope we’re aiming higher than Eustace. I’d be massively underwhelmed if it ends up being him. Rinse and repeat…..

Not that it means much, but think it's been mentioned before JDT shares the same Dutch agents with Burger.
Could be a line in

I know he has been mentioned on here but not sure if this has been brought up, Dick Schruders managerial win percentage record, has that been mentioned on here? Granted not at massive clubs, but there is a bit of Graham Potter about it I think where we could miss out on something potentially good if we did not go for something like that. I understand Potter got his club into Europe etc. and I am not saying what he has done at the clubs he has been at has been groundbreaking, but that record is eye catching.

Eustace will get the job done this season, we will probably finish 17th, 18th and avoid relegation as for me that’s what it’s about now this season with this group of players. But he’s not an exciting choice. Like the idea of the Blackburn manager, that’s more of an appealing choice for me.

I'm still convinced it will end up being a left-field European appointment.
All the talk of Allardyce and Mowbray is never going to happen.
