hypothetical question new manager

Mick McCarthy is the anti-Martinez. He’s a budget Bruce. Decent manager, but is all for the first team and would undo anything done outside the parameters of the first team squad.

Cubishley’s turned down every job he’s been linked with – so I doubt if he’d even consider it.

I honestly cannot think of a manager I’d like in as a replacement. Someone from a smaller club north of the border maybe.[/quote]

Nigel Adkins is worth a shout.[/quote]

would have been a good choice if southampton had stayed in the championship but he will want to see that job through.

Well Whelan when interviewed by Talk Sport this morning more or less said Liverpool would be an ideal job for him but Kenny Dalgleish was going no where ! Several hours later KD had gone and the bookies installed RM as fav to take over ! I personally think it is too soon for RM to move to a big club but I really do think he will be tempted and this question could become a real question !!

These odds seem to reflect some sort of inside knowledge regarding 2 managers !!

I agree garswood, Liverpool will want to be pushing the top 4 clubs streight away and it will take time for bobby to install what he wants,cant see them waiting for bobby to build

Steve Bruce with Eric Black as his assistant would be my choice if Martinez is stupid enough to take a job like Liverpool or Villa where he will get no time to turn things round.
I think he will stay though and see what this new team that he just fathomed how work will shape up in the new season.

There’s about as much chance of that happening as I have of going to the moon a week next Tuesday.
Let’s keep it realistic, eh.

I agree with Garswood- Not experienced enough to be Liverpool boss. I guess the same would apply to AVB. Trying not to contemplate life without him at Wigan as I really think after 2 and a half seasons of trying to get it right he finally achieved it in those magical last 10 games. Really looking forward to further progression next season.

As for the formation I’m pretty sure that the games against West Brom, Sunderland, Liverpool, Chelsea, around xmas time were the start of the wing backs as Stam and Jones were playing in those positions. The problem was that the 2 most important players in that formation did not have the level of fitness to get up and down the field. The January signing of Beausejour and return of Boyce gave us the personel to be effective. Add Maloney into the mix and the picture was complete. I think it is of paramont importance that we have cover in those wing back positions, Stam at a push could do a job but not much on the left if Beausejour is out for a significant period of time.
