The DugOut 0 Posted January 15, 2014 Interesting list http://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/norwich/next-permanent-manager Dennis Bergkamp! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Mass Debater 1,076 Posted January 15, 2014 There are some right names on there! Tim Sherwood? Really?! Other end of the spectrum is amusing too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snake-eyes 13 Posted January 15, 2014 Kevin Keegan 100-1 That would be fun! I would luv it if we got him! Luv it! LOL!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Mass Debater 1,076 Posted January 15, 2014 Surprised Sven Goran Eriksson isnt on that list - he seems to be linked with every vacancy going. Getting him would be ''a learning experience''. Think id prefer it to the Glenn Hoddle ''situation'' though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 15, 2014 Some genuinely funny names in that list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,844 Posted January 15, 2014 Bielsa would be way too big a risk. I think a Lambert-style appointment might be the best bet – young and hungry. Steven Pressley, Sean Dyche, Uwe Rösler, Karl Robinson or Eddie Howe, someone of that ilk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

England played some of their best football since 1990 under Hoddle, and he''s an outstanding tactician. Not convinced he''d make a good number-one as he''s been out of the game too long, but in an advisory role with a young manager he could be outstanding.

And FWIW I agree about religion, but that''s a kettle of fish I really don''t want to open... ;)This also reminded me of the Nigel Worthington ''sit-yee-ay-shun''...

Indy_Bones 441 Posted January 15, 2014 Mancini....Maradona...Benitez...Klinsmann!Who the hell put those names on the list as realistic options (even if the odds suggest it''s not going to happen)????Saying that...Worthy...Beckham...Fowler - Now they had me in stitches [:D]Makes me wonder why Mike Walker isn''t being listed as well if we''re going to be totally silly!

The Great Mass Debater 1,076 Posted January 15, 2014 Maradona! Imagine that! Id want seriously better odds on most of those names. Imagine if it happened and you only got 30-1 for your outrageous call Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe someone of the Pochettino/Pepe Mel mould, perhaps? Really don''t think Malky, Zola, Phelan or Di Matteo are the answer, and I wouldn''t want Neil Lennon anywhere near our club. Bielsa would be a colossal risk, but at least it''d be entertaining! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TCCANARY 263 Posted January 15, 2014 What we need right now is a manager who can turn a team around, get the players to forget whats happened and focus on the future, my choice would be Hyde manager Scott McNiven, he''s got a track record of breaking losing streaks.

Eadies Left, Hucks Right, Iwans Heed, Holts Laugh! 0 Posted January 15, 2014 I think Bergkamp would be a good shout, might fancy us as a step towards Arsene Wengers job in future, plus will not have the worry of flying to European Games!!!Sami Hyypia would also be another but at a big club in Champions League so would depend on whether he wanted to move back to England.Both unlikely but nice to hold out hope!

Yes he''s done well at Celtic, but who wouldn''t? Also he''s never coached or managed in England before, and as such is another unknown quantity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
