Garcia, the chap that was at Brighton and now wanting to leave that Isreali club.

Knows the Championship and likes teams to play football not hoofball.

Not for me

We could do a lot worse, sticking with Neil Redfern for the time being.
He's done a great job with the youth side and has experience in the first team dugout.
Cellino's issue is that he's looking for a coach not a manager, so that rules out ALL the usual suspects such as Pullis etc.
Redfern will give him the time to appoint the right person rather than a knee jerk appointment.

LIW - Who would be your preferred choice?

Steve Clarke for me, I think he'll get it.

I don't feel sorry for him. What did seriously expect? He'll get a nice pay off anyway.

I know I shouldn't. But he was so out of his depth that it was painful. And who wouldn't take the job if it was offered to you. I genuinely wanted the doomed project to work, and believe he at least should have got Saturday's game. The red cards didn't help either, although he wasn't proactive enough when they arrived. Hope he bounces back somewhere, as part of someone's coaching staff.

If you guys can get Clarke that would be a brilliant move. Give him time and he would be sure to get you up the leagues IMO.

Garcia is my preferred.

Sherwood woukd clash with Cellino.

I would he happy with Clarke.

bring back larry

Steve Clarke or Garcia for me....sadly I don't think it will be anyone even remotely good enough or what we are hoping for

Clarke would be the thinking mans choice, but depends what kind of salary he'd be commanding.

He's more of a coach than a manager, and would probably flourish with the responsibility of transfers removed from the role.

I wouldn't mind Grayson or Mcallister having another crack

Gary Mac is interesting as he seemed to struggle as manager but as a coach he may succeed. He's also a clever man and diplomatic. Weakness was organising the defence. But if we're trusting MC and Salerno to buy players (we dont have a choice) then its down to results with those players.

To work with MC who is a control freak and hands on, I think you need a coach who is a strong character who can choose his battles that loves coaching and setting the team up, and not to fussed scouting etc. As this is more common in Italy than England then you'd hope MC would push the boat out for someone like Di Matteo who he'd struggle to sack so readily than another poor fellow like the Hock.

Seems I've missed out on loads.......

Clarke, Di Matteo or Garcia would work for me. Maybe Pulis too.

Shame Hockaday didn't work out, cost us a few points and created more mayhem in the press.

Let's hope Cellino gets this one spot on. Lots to be positive about though.

MOT
