Interim Manager Discussion

Would you have these as interim manager to finish the season?

  • John Heitinga

  • Current Coach (Lewis, Cochrane, Burnett, Carr)

  • Ryan Mason

  • Jurgen Klinsmann

  • Chris Hughton

  • Brendan Rodgers

  • Edin Trzic

  • Gareth Southgate

  • Former Manager Hoddle/Jol/Redknapp/Sherwood

  • Stick with Frank no matter what

Results are only viewable after voting.
I’d love to see Klinsmann as a figure head with Hughton, Mason & Heitinga underneath him.

Wouldn’t be against Rogers, Southgate or Trzic getting that role. All have expirience taking on teams mid season. As does Klinsmann.
 
I wouldn't touch any of the bottom 2/3s - people who have been out of the game too long.

Mason and Heitinga are the obvious two. Mason edges it for me as he has track record of delivering in the role. He's also the perfect bridge to Poch (or any progressive coach) following him, as he's to some extent a disciple/plays a similar style.

He's got that disaster at Ajax in his only go in the #1 seat hanging over him though. Jol had been very successful as a manager in his own right for a number of years

When you look at the names on the list you can see no outstanding candidates. We need a manager that can get the best out of the players we've got, I don't know if Frank is the man as he's not had all the players to work with.
If we get a new manager it's more than likely we get a "system" guy, something I dislike, tactic are essential but I don't want to watch the negative type of football most teams play.
 
No interim seems the most likely answer here. Frank gets the season, finishes 15th or whatever, and then post World Cup Vinai brings in Poch to silence the critics.

What chance would ANY manager have with only half the squad available on any given day?

To many that's irrelevant, the die is cast on Frank's style of play. Most who called for a pragmatic approach now find it too boring and not producing the results they thought would come.
I believe the main problem is we have no quality forwards, Solanke has just returned from long injury and none of the others look capable of scoring, without a goal threat we will struggle against all teams no matter who our manager is.
