Why only look at out of work managers? This board can afford compensation to get in the best person for the job, and that may be someone currently in post elsewhere.

They can but I also think they was trying to wait till the summer as it’ll be far harder with 10-15 games left of the season mate.

Des Buckingham has just won the league so the timing could be right to bring him in? A bit riskier than some of the names but he has local ties and is someone who could grow with the club and build a real legacy.

I like what I read about him. It’d be a big move from NZ. Wellington Phoenix I’m very familiar with as my nephew was physio there. He had to fly to Australia as they play many games there.
Born in Oxford with connections he could well be just what we need.
I’d like to think we’d look at Richardson

 

[Brownes Longy]

Some ludicrous suggestions in that opening post

 

[YellowTaxi]

What about Giovanni van Bronckhorrst. Recent manager of Rangers and more interestingly both his parents are Indonesian

 

[Malc]

That is the sort of well-known figure I think will come in. Has contacts in many lands too. Good shout.

 

[Yellow There!]

Will be someone foreign

Opportunity to roll this out again

Carpy, you need to update your profile picture!

In Leon we trust

 

[chuckbert]

He always reminds me of the fact that Ritchie Blackmore played guitar with Screaming Lord Sutch.

Rafa Benitez could be a shout. Not out of our league any more than some of the previous suggestions.

Roberto Mancini as assistant manager?

When did you do this reading? He's been in India since 2021 and Australia before that. I think he signed a new two year deal with Mumbai last month but might be wrong, if he did then it could be tough to get him out if he had any interest in it. Would be exactly the sort of profile I'd like to see us go for, young, progressive and on the way up. The fact he's a local lad would be a bonus too but it seems far fetched to me unfortunately.

No. Rafa has his own team that he can bring in. Getting him would be acting like a top 30 club.

I could see the City Group liking the idea to be honest, would allow them to have a manager embeded with their footballing "DNA" at a club a couple of divisions below them, taking their prospects on loan and developing them in a way they'd approve of.

There would be worse clubs to have this sort of relationship with

Sorry..I was excited by his Wellington Phoenix connection. To me Des seems a great choice
