Do you know the more I think about it and even though it's all wrong. It could be all right. Roy Keane. I can't believe I am saying this.

Roy Keane anyone? Forgetting his playing career. Worked magic at Sunderland could he do it for us. And maybe put Massimo in his place at the same time.

Wex

You are insane but if we do appoint him let me be the first to introduce him to the exact spot on the pitch where him and Alfie shared a special moment about 15 year ago. Appointing Keane about as likely to happen as Scott Wooton's chances for claiming the 2017 Ballon d'Or.

13 May 2016 00:22:11
What are you on today Wex? He totally Effed Ipswich up, not to mention selling Jordan Rhodes for a pittance.
The man is an egotistical maniac.
As for Sunderland. He took over a good underachieving squad and brought in loads of top players. Dwight Yorke, Higgingbottom, Kieran Richardson and I think Jonny Evans as well, all top players at championship level as well as loads more who I can't remember.
So no thanks mate, imo.

13 May 2016 00:24:25
Bit too far wex mate. Normally reliable posts from you. Lucky for you I've got some spare meds!

13 May 2016 07:53:51
wex has lots the plot since I left him at the altar.

Roy keane as manager with alan smith as coach?

As a southern I don't hate man u, use to when we where up there with them but now they are different league so not a hate of mine. So I don't mind man u connection, I'd happily have bruce, ferguson, huges maybe even olie gunna (cant spell last name to save life) sohckia

but not keane for me, nothing to do with man u but more because his attitude and I don't think he is good, also what he did to alife ingna horland can not be forgotten.

12 May 2016 20:23:30
Roberto Matinez anyone?

12 May 2016 20:46:22
No thanks.

12 May 2016 23:05:24
Yes please. A step above of what we've had for years. Ok things went sour at Everton at the end but done well with Wigan and scousers at first. Plus GOOD football for a change.

13 May 2016 03:51:03
No to Martinez wex but yes to Keane.
You got the nofootballitus bug bad mate.

12 May 2016 16:54:05
Well, if Evans goes, new manager won't be Gus Poyet. He just signed a two year deal with Real Betis.
Lots of talented managers out of a job at the moment. Brendan Rogers, anyone?

12 May 2016 17:24:53
i really do not know where I stand with him, is he any good or just road on coat tails of other managers? don't think he would come to us due to wages but even if he would I don't know.

12 May 2016 18:22:46
Agree BW, mind you this lachini that we are being linked with has won promotion from Serie B to A 4 times, not that the Championship is the same but you can see why Cellino might go for him.

12 May 2016 18:58:18
as wex would say without giving him a try it is hard to know, someone like that has far more of a shout than rodgers for me.

12 May 2016 19:15:59
Don't really rate Rogers seems like he can lose a dressing room fairly quickly and if we think Massimo has an ego Rogers takes it to a different level. Sorry Rodgers.

12 May 2016 23:11:08
What?! On what basis have you come to that conclusion Wex?
Never thought Rodgers had any kind of ego and as for losing the dressing room. Unless you are in the room don't believe what you read in the red tops mate.

12 May 2016 14:03:06
Martinez anyone?

12 May 2016 14:43:46
Please no.

12 May 2016 15:01:05
Why George?

12 May 2016 15:10:57
I personally don't rate him. He has done a good job there but he's not for us. I know Evertonians who are displeased with him.

12 May 2016 15:29:05
Why George?

12 May 2016 15:42:19
something is wrong with the world me and George agree twice in one day. No to martinez, I do not rate at all, both wigan and everton have followed same pattern. he took wigan down and this year everton have massivley under achieved. he keeps making the same mistakes and can not move a club forward of fix basic mistakes. Rather fat man and about 20 other managers over him. our defence plus martienze = relegation.

12 May 2016 15:52:23
Call it a hunch speedy. I know good managers from average from complete carp. He is in middle category.

12 May 2016 18:22:44
make mine dry please! on ice with a dash of lemon.

12 May 2016 23:27:09
Martinez is a good manager. Fact. If Leeds got him, although almost impossible, I guarantee almost every Leeds fan would be jumping for joy. Fact. He is a step above our level and that is a Fact. So anyone who says he is average and not good enough for Leeds is talking total Crap. FACT.

13 May 2016 00:01:31
Cork

Opta stats show his Everton team were defensively as tight as Villa.

13 May 2016 00:34:25
OPTA Stats my arse George. Only score a few less than Arsenal and a lot more than Man U. Roughly same as Chelsea regarding pts, goals for and against. Had a poor season granted but does that make him a poor manager? Just like Mourinho?

13 May 2016 07:59:39
cork what make him poor for me is same mistake for both wigan and everton, they play to expansive and can not defend letting in cheap goals which makes his teams finish lower than they should. in everton he has great players and had a good manager in place before, at first they did well but slowly they have fogotten what moyes taught them and become a matinez joke. worse home display form everton for years and finsishing well below where they should. bad manager for me and no thanks not what we need at all. I have about 20 other managers above him in my list.

{Ed001's Note - he can't motivate players either.}

12 May 2016 13:43:26
right I am going to be positivie for a change.

we know next year who has come down. VIlla I am not worried about if they are going any where it will be down not up. Newcastle are tricky as they probably will lose best players and manager but should spend a few quid. I can see them either storming league or falling outside playoffs depending on what they do this summer. Norwich are well set to go back up or challenge but don't think they are very special. Borough and burley are two good clubs so glad they are gone.

With this is mind next year should not be as difficult as recent years so if we do well over summer no reason we can't push for playoffs as the boss has said he will aim to do.

like or loave he is a passionate man so don't think he would mug himself now knowing where club and finaces stand so I am expecting a good summer.

i hope leeds fans go out and buy ST in droves as it looks to be a good year and best way to support MC is by backing him, best way to get rid of MC is also by backing him so he has no reason if he doesn't deliever.

12 May 2016 14:56:55
Good managerial appointment first season ticket renewal second.

That's the best Cellooney can hope for.

12 May 2016 16:07:38
All 3 relegated clubs will be strong as they are coming down with £60m in parachute payments (albeit over 4 years) . Agree that Villa could fail however with the correct recruitment they could be a force (and will be able to afford decent wages) . If Newcastle follow the pattern the last time they were relegated they will retain the majority of their squad. Norwich are a very good championship team and will be difficult to beat. Factoring in the other 10 sides that finished above us, some of which I suspect will spend some coin, I think it will be just as difficult as the season we have had, if not harder.

12 May 2016 17:31:18
i don't buy that parachute payment rubbish one thing is cealr, since the money got bigger, since the prem since all this parachute payment as many teams have suffered as have gone back up. look at us plus all the manay others, the expsne of prem wages etc out weights this which is the only reason which can explain us, wigan, blackpool, forest, saints etc

everyone keeps saying it will get harder but facts and reslts over last 10 years really goes against this.

12 May 2016 18:02:36
think Villa will struggle, Newcastle and Norwich will be tough games .
Newcastle fav to go straight back up .

12 May 2016 19:19:38
Yes having £60m over 4 years is a real disadvantage. Not a guarantee but allows you to maintain prem quality players in the championship. Burnley have gone back up with Hull in the mix.

12 May 2016 20:10:33
Unfortunately Notts has recounted the position for next season perfectly. We will need to spend large. I think 7th or 8th would be a real achievement to shout about tbh with you guys.

12 May 2016 21:33:39
The parashute payments mean that clubs can have at least 1 season for clubs like Norwich having a real go. However, for such large clubs like Villa and Newcastle with large squads and huge wage bills the loss of revenue and crowds could mean having a bad start and not getting up straight away could be disastrous for them.

12 May 2016 12:47:09
Nigel Adkins available. If we are to dispense with Evans wouldn't be such a bad appointment imo.

12 May 2016 13:47:49
we are in agreement he would be a great apointment really class manager.

12 May 2016 14:40:53
Mmmmmm. Used to be but. Not so much recently. And while I'm at it BW. Norwich bottom 6 for me next year.

12 May 2016 15:50:03
you know what aus that would not shock me either, they have not been great and if they lose klose, redman and few others without replcaing well they could be in toruble, onyl thing is lot of thier players will be happy in championship and I do like their manager.
