The queue of would be managers

Premiership Manchester City

comment on the article

Every day it seems someone else is linked to the managers job at our club. Sven, gullit etc etc etc but it is all on the back of the proposed Thaksin takeover and the 50 million quid to spend plus no doubt a very large salary.
If the takeover does not happen and Ranson for example takes over or indeed we are left with the same owners I believe this queue would shrink dramatically as the salary and transfer funds would be no where need the same.
We would be then looking at Chris Coleman, Billy Davies etc, which may not be in its own right a bad thing but is a million miles removed from the present hype but everything at the moment is paper talk and we have no choice but to wait and see what happens. If the big deal does not go through whoever becomes manager will have to buy well on a limited budget to address the problems of this past season as I think another season like the last one will see more fans voting with there feet.

Well said mate- nothing is going to get done regarding the manager till we are taken over.

Sven sounds like he wants it and if he gets the job i can see him signing big name players, which we need, bare in mind he has to watch the wages doesnt get out of control.

think by next week its going to all done and dusted.

The situation is simple , Should we get taken over and i say should ....we may get a top european manager. We can all have our say and predict who may take the Job but in all honesty it all depends on the so called Takeover....

With due all respect to the BBC and other broadcasters, it seems that not a single media broadcaster is able to ask the right questions or indeed provide us blues with the right answers.
Please allow me to give you an introduction to what journalism is all about. Find out what is the real issue, who is involved, Do a face to face interview, extract all important bits, make that into a nice article, then publish
Now please please please do the following:
1) Put all this important names of prospect managers in a list.
2) Interview all parties involved in the takeover to find out who favours which manager.
3) Get us some answers from Wardle and co on their preferred choice if the takeover doesn’t happen.
4) Let us fans have a vote to keep us entertained until Mr Wardle decides to clear the air. Which am assuming (and hoping) it would take no longer than another four or five month.
To make your Job easier BBC, here is a list I have prepared earlier in alpha order:
Didier Deschamps, Gullit, Houllier, Ramous (please God YES), Renieri, Sven (please god no), Van Gal (Please God If Ramous says no).

It would not be City if there was no crisis there, we have lost of managers come and go, make lots of big promises which fade to nothing at the end. The just enough attitude seems to now be inbedded within the players themselves, i fell sorry for anyone who goes there to manage. No money, No decent players, and what looks like no hope, but what a fantastic stadium!!!

Why are we surprised at the lack of info coming out of CoMS. City have not and will never change from being 2nd best in the modern day football world. Hopefully the change of ownership we are all desperate for will be in place soon and put a smile back on our faces. Lord knows we need it after last seasons woeful perfomance. Ramos is the man for me. People are right BBC, PULL YOUR FINGER OUT!

City have to get the ownership problem sorted out first before even thinking about a new manager. Having spent the last 3 years in South East Asia and seen the corruption that goes on there, I would be very cautious about engaging Thaksin - he's a totally unscrupolous operator who has no sympathy whatever for MCFC and is solely concerned with lining his own pocket with more millions than he's already screwed out of the Thai economy and possible wangling in a few of his local boys into the team. Please no - not another Samaras howler!! Go for someone who'se got English football at heart, preferably with a bob or two behind him and THEN think about a suitable manager who could work with him. I don't think Sven is out of the running - he definitely had been thinking along City lines when caught off the hop by Gabby's question in the TV interview. He does know the European scene and might make some shrewder buys than Pearcy made
