Top Three

[Skrilla]

In The Times tonight. Feels significant enough in the absence of any other news on the manager search to warrant a thread.

Who do we think the top three are then?

 

[sillytuna]

Jeff, Scott, and Wolfie.

 

[arctic rime]

Beale
Rodgers
Wild card

 

[DPE]

Nuno
Bruno
Uno

 

[SuperGran]

Beale
Rodgers
Wild card

If we are appointing this week two of those are in jobs

 

[WalsallWolf]

Nuno
Dyche
Beale

 

[Summer_Wolf]

Knowing our luck it'll be Nuno, Beale and Rob Edwards

 

[Loefah]

Nuno
Dyche
Beale

Nuno is GestiFute. The article says it's likely to be a manager with different representation.

Beale is obviously one, but no idea about the other two.

 

[rg4352]

Gallardo
Svensson
Amorim

 

[Kingswood Wolf]

Harry Basset
Big Ron
Frank Lord

 

[SuperGran]

Steve davis
james collins
tony roberts

 

[SuziQ]

The Gestifute thing could well be a red herring, I wouldn't read too much into those kind of comments.

I'd like it to be Gallardo, AVB and Amorim as a top 3. I do suspect it will actually be Beale, Edwards and Nuno though.

 

[Tring Wolf]

Genesio
Nuno
Beale

[Burford T Justice]

In order

Gallardo

[VancouverWolf]

God only knows butI hope it’s fast.
Anymore threads on this topic and the Mix will be running out of space on the servers

 

[Frank Lincoln]

Steve Davis
Stephen Hendry
Ronnie O'Sullivan

 

[GY Wolf]

I am liking the mystery aspect of it

 

[Burford T Justice]

Steve Davis
Stephen Hendry
Ronnie O'Sullivan

Maybe Mark Williams as a wildcard over Ronnie. He'd want too much money

 

[StraightToPopworld]

Nuno
Beale
Davis

 

[Pilchard]

Rod
Jane
Freddy

 

[OLDGOLD]

Harry Basset
Big Ron
Frank Lord

Or Bertie Bassett
Ron Jeremy
And Lord Charles....

I'm not because in my head I'm imagining a top three of Rob Edwards, Michael Beale and Sean Dyche!

I've got to say I don't understand what's going on with the press and our managerial search. It seems to me as though they're all covering something or they're completely in the dark but that's unlikely.

Now it's apparently down to three but if we had interviewed anyone in a job it would be public knowledge.

We haven't spoken to Beale properly as you'd have to go through QPR and they have no benefit whatsoever for that not coming out.

The Al-Ittihad owner has said no advanced talks. Plus, if Nuno wanted it, it would be sorted due to the Mendes links.

If it was a Pedro Martins or someone out of work at that level, they should have been appointed ages ago.

So, how can the press say it's this week?

You have to presume they are going for a bigger name. Rodgers could happen if he's sacked before Sunday. Gallardo maybe if we're waiting until after River Plate's game on Sunday? Still waiting for Lopetegui? I don't know.

I just don't understand why if it was a Nuno, Beale etc. that it hasn't been sorted by now. It should have been done and if they keep delaying to appoint someone of that ilk then the board deserve plenty of criticism - especially if we lose tomorrow.

 

[JamesWolves]

Gallardo
Beale
Amorim

 

[JOSWolf]

Jeffrey, Bungle and Zippy.

 

[Superted]

If we were making an appointment in the next few days we'd surely have heard some nibbles in the mainstream media by now.

Kept well under wraps as it should be, just like how we usually conduct our transfer business. Can't knock that, especially if other clubs are potentially sniffing for new managers as well.

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Still think it will be Lopetegui.

No one will be in for the managers on our short list.

You can understand the secrecy around transfers, but why around managers, and all that about Nuno being in talks but not the preferred option, doesn’t make sense.

Beale.

I know what you mean... If they go for PL experience the way things are going that'll be:
Woy,
Colin, and
Spudyed.

Same here. I hope they don’t reveal who it is even when they decide. Our new head coach could wear a mask in the dugout and the mystery will live on, if possible for seasons.

 

[woop woop barmy army]

Pep
Klopp

The masked head coach.... You could actually replace him and no-one would ever actually know....

If you know you know ...

I don't disagree. I still think it's weird though. I know we don't get a lot of leaks but we usually hear at least a few nibbles.

Exactly
