Eustace is the one that worries me. And why that? They have to pin the tail to the donkey soon. I think he can do a good job likes attacking football and better than the rest on offer of sacked Managers, IMO

Not sure what I think of Eustace, don’t know enough about him. A little underwhelming if true though. Absolutely anyone that can keep us in the Championship this season first and foremost will do for me though and we need the best possible candidate that can do that.

Kevs comments this morning about non British managers makes me hopeful that it wouldt be someone like Eustace.
Like I said yesterday several other champ teams have needed a new manager since he left Brum and non have taken him.

Can’t be Eustace if KN wants attacking football. Apparently it can't be Rowett or Heckingbottom either if we're wanting attacking football according to some on here. That's a fair proportion of the potential candidates who are seemingly unsuitable.

If Heckingbottom comes in as manager. I wonder if he'll bring in Michael Collins as coach. Dispensing of Worthington's services?
That'd annoy a few people.

That's a fair proportion of the potential candidates who are seemingly unsuitable. All this talk of attacking football is nonsense. Any manager will claim in an interview that they can/will play that way but once their job is on the line it's natural to look for ways not to lose. Do we even have the squad to play attacking football? Certainly wouldn't feel comfortable watching our defense without much protection or attempting to play a high line given the chronic lack of pace

Did well at Barnsley, poor at leeds but that place is a graveyard for managers, Hibs was a strange one and I don’t know what went wrong there, did very well at the Blades. Wouldn’t necessarily be my first choice but I wouldn’t be unhappy with.

I wonder if that result may lead to some unexpected managers thinking twice about us now.
Maybe they see it and think actually maybe they do have something in that squad to stay up and build upon.

Eustace is the one that worries me. And why that? They have to pin the tail to the donkey soon. I think he can do a good job likes attacking football and better than the rest on offer of sacked Managers, IMO Apart from a decent run with Birmingham, achieved nothing as a manager, Rooney being shit has done wonders for his cv! Also as dull as Moore!

I think he can do a good job likes attacking football and better than the rest on offer of sacked Managers, IMO Apart from a decent run with Birmingham, achieved nothing as a manager, Rooney being shit has done wonders for his cv! Also as dull as Moore! A decent run in his only other job as well. Took Kidderminster Harriers to the playoffs 2 years running and 1st round proper of the FA Cup. What he did at Brum shouldn't be sniffed at either, given that they were relegation favourites and a shambolic mess when he took over. The only doubt I have with him is that he tends to be a slow starter but the more I look at him, the more I think he'd be the best realistic option available to us. As dull as Moore? In what sense? Press conferences aren't exactly Warnock-esque but they're not as draining as a Moore one. Damning with faint praise there - admittedly. The football Brum played - at least against us - was decent to watch. Or at least it might have been if it was overshadowed by how painful it was to watch us. I think he's let down by not being a big name but the more I look at him the more I think he's the best fit for us. A couple of caveats: I say this as someone who voted for an up and coming foreign coach - talk of Baumgartner, Hurzeler, Rapp et al got me a bit giddy. Whether those names would come here I'd another matter. Also depends how well and how quickly they'd adapt to English football. I also say this whilst strongly suspecting that Paul Heckingbottom is going to get the gig. But the more I look at what we need, short, medium and long term - and who is realistic (!) - I struggle to see anyone else that's a better fit.

Has the OP misspelled Jose Mourinho as John Mousinho.? (Fair play if there is a comedy genius who’s already cracked the same gag on this thread - it’s 40 pages now and a lot to scroll through to check!)
