So IF Slade goes - who would you want in ?
I'm not up on foreign managers, but will throw in some names from British football to think about.
Of course there's the ones unlikely to come....
Pearson, Moyes, Martinez ( if the inevitable happens)
My personal choice would be Justin Edinburgh who's done a great job on little resource at Gillingham.
I'd love Warnock here, but apparently he wants to stay with Rotherham
I'd also like Nigel Clough if we could prise him off Burton.
Maybe Carl Robinson from MK would fancy another crack- although he's taken them down they have been punching above their weight.
Dean Smith has done a great job for Brentford since he's been there, but would he leave- unlikely I guess, plus , like some of the others above there aywould be a big compensation package.
Of course there's Bellamy, he'd be a risk- another couple of characters I'd like to see at the club would be well respected ex players like Darren Purse and Mark Hudson, maybe as part of the coaching team rather than manager.
Another dream appointment would be getting Di Matteo out of retirement.
Please no to Tim Sherwood.
Just some names chucked in.
Any other ideas ?

Re: So IF Slade goes - who would you want in ?
Can only think of Nigel Pearson, tough, a personality and a proven track record, notwithstanding his questionable temperament and disciplinary record, a real scrapper me thinks. Is this job big enough for him though?

Re: So IF Slade goes - who would you want in ?
Hudsons just signed a 3 year deal at Huddersfield to become player / coach.

Re: So IF Slade goes - who would you want in ?
i honestly couldn't care who our next manager is. Anyone but Slade for me.
Someone willing to blood some youngsters and with better contacts in the game.
-
Re: So IF Slade goes - who would you want in ?
Apart from the obvious names like Warburton, Neville, Pearson, Martinez who would probably be way out of our reach I personally (as you all know) think Bellamy is a no brainer.
I will be buzzing for next season if he is the man taking us forward with people like Osian Roberts and Dutch Ray maybe

Sorry Tim, but after that team selection, substitution an performance yesterday, I'm trying to cheer myself up. :thumbup:
Ok, our fans demand a name, our fans demand effort, our fans demand 100%.
With all that in mind, there is no-one out there who would please everyone.
Who ever comes here, has to play attacking atractive football, has to show passion on the touchline and relate to the fans.
I gotta say it but when he was here Dave Jones, (not everyones cup of tea), played some of the best football we have seen for many a year.
Do we go young (not Scott:hehe:) and unknown or try a NAMED manager.
If young, the guy at Bristol Rovers seems to have made rapid progress and Cloughie might be a fair shout.
Names gotta be Colin, that bristol twat Holliway or try and get that guy from Glasgow Rangers (soz Jim)
God knows, but what is DEFINITE is "OUR RUSS" gotta go.

Afterthought, Kit Symons with Bellers maybe.

I've wondered about Justin Edinburgh as well (Deji would get a game :hehe:). Of the others you mention, I think Robinson has got something and I liked Dean Smith at Walsall.
Someone with a City connection who I think has done tremendously this season is Neil Ardley at AFC Wimbledon.
However, the one I'd like to see most is Craig Bellamy being given the chance to develop the club in the way he wants to - don't see that happening somehow though!

My only concern about Karl Robinson is that he has signed Alex Revell!

Re: So IF Slade goes - who would you want in ?
It's Bellamy for me-someone said it's a risk but every managerial appointment is just that.I think he would bring an enthusiasm that the club badly needs-I believe the fans would be right behind him and that he would not only bring on some of our youngsters but also attract better players than Slade has been able to bring in.The latter of course would not be difficult.

Re: So IF Slade goes - who would you want in ?
Bellamy.
Get the transfer embargo lifted , decent managerial appointment and there will be reasons to be optimistic for next season.

A tub of lard or a My Little Pony figure.
No. Scrap that!
An Action Man with eagle eyes!! Yes.
Or a Steve Austin?

However the club would need to get it a blue tracksuit as I don't think the red one would go down very well.
Ooh ooh and get a slinky spring in as the head coach.

Re: So IF Slade goes - who would you want in ?
I would love us to get a proven, experienced man in like Pearson. Having said that I can't help but feel that someone soon is going to take a chance on Bellamy, I hope we don't regret that it wasn't us.

Re: So IF Slade goes - who would you want in ?
Brendan Rodgers. Take away his ex jack baggage, it's an ideal job for him.

Warburton would be the man for me if he wasnt at Rangers.
Bellamy would possibly be the man to pull the club together from the top to the bottom.
As a club there would be a better feel about the place if the youth wasnt almost totally detached from the senior squad.
A better feel and a stronger sense of identity is the road to long term success.

Re: So IF Slade goes - who would you want in ?
Nigel Pearson, don't particularly like the bloke in fact I hate him but he's a good manager and proven at this level. Steve Bruce could be available in the summer but he's made a right rickett of the Hull job this year so perhaps not, although saying that he has been there a while and a fresh job might suit him. A left field choice would be Alan Curbishley? Karl Robinson not a bad shout, they would have stayed up if they kept their players that got them up.
No to Sherwood, no to Mclaren, no to Lennon and DEFINITELY NO TO SLADE STAYING

Yes I agree. The Huddersfield manager could not speak highly enough of him.

'that Bristol twat ' 😄. For what it's worth I certainly wouldn't want him here thanks.
Also, no way would Warburton leave Rangers for Cardiff.

Re: So IF Slade goes - who would you want in ?
Good debate so far.
Bellamy seems to be on top, with Pearson popular, but IMHO unlikely to be interested ( hope I'm wrong)
-
Re: So IF Slade goes - who would you want in ?
Can't understand the enthusiasm for Bellamy. Hasn't even coached a league club let alone managed one. Yet people who criticise Slade for not having a record of success are jumping up and down demanding someone with no record at all. Bellamy would be a hugely risky appointment, right up there with the appointment of Ole in the list of risky decisions. We need a young manager- not a name we can't afford anyway- who has already shown he can do it l. Gary Rowett would be my choice if we could get him away from Birmingham. He really has done well with a limited budget. Unlike Russ who has one of the bigger wage bills in the Division to play with and a squad packed full of promotion winning and/or Premier League experience.

Pearson for one reason or another is a tainted character, can't imagine a Premiership team giving him a chance. I think Vila if they have any sense will get him but if they don't we should approach him. I reckon he's looking for a job in the Championship.
My stance on Bellamy is I would rather an experienced manager but if no one decent is forthcoming then i'd take a punt on Bellamy. I'd rather Bellamy than another Slade all day long.

Plus 4 goals in 8 starts and 8 subs, for a struggling side.
Robinson had little money to play with so has got someone to do a job.
It would be interesting to see what he could do at a club like ours

Can't see Rowett taking a sidewards step and he's cost us millions in compensation.

Ardley is a decent one to add to the list.
And realistic too.

Agree with you on Warnock got the pedigree to take us up but he'll need convincing.

Re: So IF Slade goes - who would you want in ?
Rowett would be my first choice and he'd never leave Birmingham for us. I'd be interested to see Bellamy get a chance but I don't think our fans are patient enough for the mistakes an unproven manager would make.

You are probably right. I see that Rowett signed an extended contract earlier this year so is probably out of reach.
-
Re: So IF Slade goes - who would you want in ?
In no particular order, any of the following :
1. Nigel Pearson
2. Mark Warburton (although surely he wants to try his hand at winning the two horse race next year)
3. Craig Bellamy

I can't understand why experience is imperative for success. Of course we have all been stung by the Ole saga but I believe his biggest issue was that the only style he had to model himself on was Man United and he tried to make us a diet man united.
Bellamy hasn't come straight from playing and looking to take over. On the contrary he turned Tan down cos he didn't think at the time he could do the job justice.
In a perfect world Bellamy would already have won the champions league with Barcelona and was now longing to do the same with us, but we are only a medium size club and I think it would be a great first job for someone.
His work rate would be off the scale and he built up a good knowledge of the game so I'm led to believe.
He is familiar with the youth of the club having worked voluntarily with them for two years.
He would know the good coaches as well as the lazy bastards who are only in it for themselves.
I believe he's a big enough name to put us back on the map and get a buzz back for Cardiff in the area and would also command respect and attract players.
I hope he'd be wise enough to be a go between for him and Tan and I think the only risk would be his temperament.
I have thought about it a lot and having spoken to some people who know him in think it's well worth the risk.
-
Re: So IF Slade goes - who would you want in ?
I just want someone who's willing to promote youth team players.
I get it's not always possible and we may just have had a few crap years with the academy, but it seemed like under Jones we'd have a half decent youth player every other year breaking through.
If we rally are going to be sustainable we need to get used to developing our own talent and need to let go of some more of our higher earners, eve if they are some of our better players.
-
Re: So IF Slade goes - who would you want in ?
Bellamy.
Clough.
Billy Davies

Re: So IF Slade goes - who would you want in ?
I see Edinburgh's name been mentioned. Don't think there's a cat in hells chance of him coming here. When he was Cewnty manager he slated Tan big time and said he'd never work with someone like Tan.
