TWF's Best of a Bad Bunch Manager Choice

[arklowolf]

Sherbert.

Pearson actually.

 

[Trips]

If that is the shortlist (very depressing) it has to be Lambert for me. Did a great job with Norwich, Villa has been an awful job to have for years (pretty much like the Sunderland gig now) and am willing to ignore his spell with Venky's.

Pearson is a lunatic, don't want him anywhere near our club. Sherwood did nothing with Spurs, although he did alright with Villa. Have no clue why Ince would even be discussed and Edwards surely blew his chance on Saturday

 

[Del Woppio]

Lambert on the basis that there's a rational argument that he wasn't 100% to blame for his previous failures. But urgh.

 

[The Bear]

Clement, then Pearson. If there's a gun to my head. Neither preferably.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Fuck me its like choosing which ex girl friend I would marry! Given the ultimatum of those its Lambert from pearson

 

[Templeton Peck]

Lambert for me. His work at Villa looks better by the week. Blackburn is a nuthouse.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Your sig is a bit meh TP.

 

[Siggy]

The more we discuss British managers the more I hope it turns out to be one of them "immigrants" pfff Marco Silva please!!!

 

[Aikiwolf]

It's a low bar but I've plumped for Lambert on the basis he has done well at Norwich and he is less of a twat than pearson.

Ince. Rooney Rule. Allegedly.

 

[east-coast-wolves]

Went for Pearson, but can't say I'd be thrilled about him.

Don't know enough of what Edwards could do to be anything except concerned if he was appointed.

As for the others, I think Villa broke Lambert and the others never had it.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

Underwhelmed just doesn't say it. My preference is still for that foreign guy Nonov Theabov, but if it's arm twisting and with a a serious taste of bile in my mouth, Lambert.

Although i have a wierd idea that seeing Pearson's first meeting with Mendez would be a lasting memory.

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Don't fancy any of them and I'm so glad that Warnock and Allardyce have dropped from that list.

I'd rather form a committee from TWF and let them at it.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

I think I'd take the chance on Timmy Tactics out of those 3.

Pearson does nothing for me, can't even think how his teams usually approach the game.
Lambert did very well early on in his managerial career but there's plenty of time passed since then, he just seemed to give up at Villa and I didn't even realise he'd been at Blackburn!

Sherwood is something of simpleton when it comes to setting up his team but then this league isn't usually rocket science either, he'd at least get the team playing on the front foot and generally seems happy to give young players an opportunity so he could at least provide a bit of entertainment, and this current side surely has more quality going forwards than it has in defence. There would no doubt be a few spankings along the way from the likes of Newcastle and Norwich who'd have the quality to stand up to Timmy's flood the box tactics but there can't be many Wolves fans who think they're really direct competitors this season so that's a bit of an irrelevance for me for the time being.

 

[EdgeOfTheAlps]

This is a list that would have been acceptable under the reign of M&M once Morgan had lost interest, it's just so mediocre to poor and has the Thelwell DNA all over it. I was hoping that FOSUN would have pushed the boat out a little bit like they obviously did with Lopetegui but the leftovers at Wolves have the gone all Wormtongue on Shi and we again see a radical change in direction.

Off that list it's got to be Lambert, he's a very decent manager I think, just not as ambitious an appointment as I hoped Shi would make.

 

[Walnut]

As there are no direct quotes from the club everything is guesswork. I haven't got a clue as to what type of manager they are looking for (British or Foreign)
So I await with bated breath and just hope that they make the right decision.

 

[Law's Bus]

I want to say Ince just to make DW explode, which is always fun to watch.

Lambert's probably the least appalling though. Maybe. Just.

I think that's the first time I've ever seen a manager be given a backhanded compliment for having no tactics.

Dim Sherwood would be on the same level as appointing Ince or Holloway for me.

 

[Kenny]

Long thought on this and Lambert is the clear choice if we are going British and they are available.

He kind of fits in with what Fosun want (if the British stuff is true) also happy to know that Fosun will pull the trigger if it a) fails, quickly and 2) if we go up and they think they have a better option available (like Southampton did and how Watford do). Our current position is going to make it friggin hard to attract a talented coach from outside of the UK, regardless of what £££ we have.

 

[Langers]

I think one of the absolute minimum requirements is: "will the next manager do better than Zenga?"

Lambert probably would, though I have serious doubts about the level he could take us to.

I don't think Sherwood would be as good as Zenga. He's an appalling coach and if he was interviewed I hope it was purely for comic relief.

I'm with DW here - Ince/Holloway/Micky Adams levels of disbelief he was ever to get it.
