Derek Mcinnes likely to be one of the favourites I’d have thought.
Also can’t help but feel it’s inevitable Lennon will start to attract interest again from down south, especially if we can get 2nd place.
Thankfully it seems to be fashionable just now for clubs to go for managers based on the continent which is fine with me.

He is a complete failure as a manager and still gets a shout everytime a vacancy comes up!
No idea how him and a few others manage it!

Should of happened 2 months ago...when it was clear there was no improvement.
Now they are doomed.

Not bad money for those that can get it.

I'm a Palace fan, and what have we got to show for 5 years? One Cup Final defeat??
I'd honestly prefer a drop into the Championship where you could at least go into every match thinking youve got a realistic chance of winning any and every game---and probably a BETTER chance in the Cups, what with the big guns fielding their reserves in the early rounds

I personally think the game has gone down south in the premiership.
Imo they’d almost be as well replacing it with a series of exhibition matches for the bigger clubs that tourists can all easily get tickets for. Leave the actual competition for clubs that have still managed to retain their soul and identity.

I don’t like the guy. Very arrogant but his record as a manager at Newcastle (fiiished 5th I think) and first season at Palace was more Jan decent.

Allardyce is another one (though I get why people dislike him as a person). I get that he's corrupt and his default style of football is direct but he generally gets decent results and is far from the dinosaur a lot of folk make him out to be. He was one of the pioneers of modern thinking in the game around sports science and data/stats.

West Brom need someone who knows the EFL Championship well as they will need a complete clear out and get rid of their higher earners. It is a very tough division as Villa are finding out. To play two matches virtually every week against brutal teams with plenty of technical skill is a problem.

Anyway, don’t really want to get too hung up on the likelihood of him going there as I’m sure he won’t, a more realistic concern probably is once managers leave that triggers a managerial merry go round and other clubs probably further down the championship may start to take an interest.
As for what West Brom need or don’t need, Ive no idea but I disagree with the suggestion that to get promoted from that league you have to know that league.

Pardew had a good start at Newcastle then fell away and pretty much the same happened at Palace. He played to our strengths to finish mid table then the following season tried to turn us into Barcelona without bringing in Barca type players. Getting Palace to the cup final kept him in the job longer than he deserved.

Tourist Arsenal "fans" filming the opposition players celebrating a goal with big smiles on their faces was the final straw for me.Last edited by SirDavidsNapper; 02-04-2018 at 01:01 PM.

I should have been desperate to watch the spurs Chelsea game yesterday but didn’t bother me in the slightest I was missing it.
To be a hypocrite for a second though I’d quite like my son to get into it when he’s a bit older as I quite fancy being one of those annoying tourists down there just going down for the occasion, to see the big stadiums and enjoy the day out, for me though that’s just what the premiership has become. I realise I’m generalising and there’s still loads of fans that care passionately about their club, I just think it’s got pretty silly over the last few years.
I think I prefer watching the Engish championship but I honestly feel despite the silly money and over hype of the teams it’s not much better standard than our premier league, I’d much rather watch Scottish football.

Jeez, that didn't last long, it was a very strange appointment in the first place, he's a regular relegation manager.

He is the EPL’s very own peripatetic manager. God knows what hold he has on them.

People talk about this old boys club but Pardew isn’t Allardyce or even Hodgson. He’s certainly no Pulis, who has never been relegated.
I think the game may now be up for Pardew. This WBA appointment must be one of the least successful ever.

He’s up there with Craig “I’d give that 10 minutes if I were you” Levein when it comes to glittering CV’s.

Horrible bloke who always seems to leave bad feeling behind when he leaves a club. Had some good spells at Newcastle and palace, but always seems to follow them up with record losing streaks. He holds the record for losing streaks at West Ham, Newcastle and West Brom. Has headbutted an opposition player while managing, he was forced to apologise to Manuel Pelligrini for the worst sort of verbal abuse and has also assaulted a linesman. From what I am told the everyday staff ( tea lady, office staff etc) at clubs he manages generally can’t stand him and are very happy when he leaves.
no doubt gets a huge pay off again for failing dismally
