Marco Silva (Ex Hull, Everton and Benfica) would be my number 1 choice but we all know it won't happen as Gibson won't go foreign management again.
Pearson was my choice in the summer but we all knew Warnock was going to be given an extension.
I wanted the 3year long term plan last summer as it was ideal opportunity because of the out of contract players leaving. Additionally, we all knew this season was going to be a free pass because of the lack of money throughout the league.
We need someone who has experience of the league and is relatively young enough to adapt.
Howe would be excellent, but no way could we attract someone like him.
Fans need to be realistic and accept we are not the driving force we once were and the job isn't attractive as it was.
I have literally no faith in Gibson making key football decisions for this club anymore, and that's why we keep going round in circles.
Seriously, could somebody explain why they'd be happy with David Wagner?
Every complaint laid at Warnock's style of football can be laid at Wagner's but worse.
Promoted scoring 56 goals and conceding 58, they won the play-offs without one of their players scoring, an own goal and 2 penalty shootouts.
The very next season, Warnock got promoted automatically scoring 69 and conceding 39.
He kept Huddersfield up in the first season with a fairly meagre 37 points, which I'll accept is still an achievement, but then stank out the league the next season and he was sacked with them on 11 points after 22 games.
Did a terrible job at Schalke too.
I can understand people who want a new direction and a new manager, though I disagree, but I cannot understand why anyone would want David Wagner.
last time I saw his salary figure, he was offering to accept a reduction from £4m a year he was on at Bournemouth.. but do we really want to be spending more on a manager than half a dozen players. I know you have to pay for quality, but like the players, there should be a figure that we won't go over.. no point in a Prem manager if it means Div 1 squad (wages wise)
