Its getting the way that when a New Name is mentioned by the papers, you aint sure whether to believe or not.
No matter how crazy it may be !!

give me Warnock over phil or sven

if we were already in the prem it would be different but those 2 would struggle unless we bought a new squad of players

Warnock and 4 good buys will do the job

[QPR1234]

warnock is good enough, need investment into the squad

[Fez]

Do Scolari or Sven have Championship experience? It's all very well getting a big name but they will soon be in for a shock when they aren't coaching some of the worlds top players! It's an entirely different headache, do I play Anelka or Drogba or both compared with how the hell do I get this team to score playing SDC up top on his own!

coppell

No top manager would touch us with a barge pole

Preparing myself for a foreign unknown or Ainsworth

Unfortunately I make you 100% right. Cheap & nasty option again.

Scolari or Erikksson?

Or could Warnock, Ince, Wise or De Canio do the job well enough?

Would the salary for a top manager just blow the entire player budget???

The argument for Scolari or Erikksson would be the same as it was for Sousa in that do either know the league? Both would need to learn the league, the opposition and our players. Whereas managers like Coppell or Warnock would cost less, know which players are available to buy and would also be clued up on the makeup of our team.

For those reason I would like us to appoint Warnock or Coppell. Let Ipswich have all the media attention now they have Keane and lets slip under the radar and go about our business quietly.

The likes of Scolari and Erikkson wouldn't be interested for the right reasons. How much do I get?

A proven talented, hungry, domestic manager would be the best option. Martinez, Johnson, Warnock, Di Matteo even Kenny Jackett or a coach looking to step up from a PL team into management (Poyet, Bowen, Black etc.).

Stuart Pearce

Good choice but would cost too much to release him from his FA contract - unless he split the roles

Yeah I would think he'd have to split both roles..I doubt he'd want to stop what he's building with the U21s either.

I'd love Pearce as the next manager personally.

Imagine when he's with the England camp he can turn round to some of his players and say unless you get more first team experience I can't play you and then he could always suggest us?!

Now that's a good thought. Seriously though, I don't have a problem with someone combining two jobs, but as Pearce is an integeral part of Fabio's England set up as well as U21 manager do you not feel it would be too much. For the record I cannot see a patriot like Pearce giving up either role at the moment.
