Could be able to set the foundations for a good side as was the case with Gordon Jago and then Terry Venables. Once a good foundation is set, any Manager can come in and continue the good work. It was when we went off our line, that way back in 1996 we lost our place as a solid good Premier league side and never recovered. I likened our side then to the present Bournemouth side that are achieving miracles on such limited resources. Its the decision makers that stable a club and the principles adopted that leads to success. I think, and hope, that Warburton will be the solution to our lost identity.

Out of the options mentioned by media, Warburton would also be my choice, but Moore, Calvalhal and Bowyer could also work out - they have decent track record. Sherwood is obviously a no go for me and feels a bit like McClaren's appointment; you know instantly that it will never work out.
Bircham, as much as I liked him as a player, is too inexperienced and therefore too risky. Appleton and Pearce are a bit down my priority list. I am surprised Ainsworth seems to have disappeared from the shortlist, but Warburton is definitely a safer option.
The only disappointment is that Les & co don't seem to look abroad for good candidates. I don't have statistics at hand, but I have a feel that foreign managers on balance have done better than UK managers during the last decade; not at least in the Championship.

Warburton seems a sensible choice although just paper talk at the moment. A few solid candidates amongst the dross.

Best of a bad bunch, did well with BrentfordUnder Les Ferdinand:
Luke Freeman, top assists in the league: 4million
Alex Smithies, great goalie for this club: 3,5million
Charlie Austin, 19 Premier League goals: 4million
Jack Robinson: Contract ran out, left for free
And many more mistakes
LES FERDINAND, IT'S TIME TO GO
