New Improved Management Contenders Poll

[Barry the bird boggler]

I've taken the opportunity to improve the management poll options set up earlier. I've included all names I can think of that have been even vaguely linked/suggested so far. Hopefully this should give a clearer indication of who would be favourite as the Other option should be greatly reduced.

Dick Advocaat for me xx

[melonhead]

agreed- any manager named after an alcoholic beverage, is the man for me

[MmmMonsterMunch]

Voted for Poyet again - would be really happy with him. Can't see why he'd move though really. Pretty much like for like.

[maffff]

I want Solskjaer, it won't happen.

I'd advocate Dick (although history says he likes to spend money and doesn't perform to the levels spent, but he's doing well in the Netherlands).

Poyet is a great shout (although BHAFC fans seem to be questioning him recently and whether he has taken them as far as he can if you look on North Stand Chat)

RDM, sadly won't happen.

Adkins is now free to find jobs. I'd take him although I'm preferring the idea of Poyet right now.

Anyone but Di Canio

[Pepe the Horseman]

Other (please specify who) - Dolan, because I've back him at 33/1.

[MmmMonsterMunch]

I'll say it again.......why is Steve Bruce not on this list? Hull are 2nd in the chump at the minute. He has a fantastic record - better than MON at Sunderland IIRC despite the fans hating him.

Wouldn't cost the earth to get him either.

[Royal Rob]

Eamonn Dolan because he is a Reading man who has been at the club for years. Promoting from within worked well with Pardew and McDermott. Although I bet Zingarevich wants a big name, so it won't be him.

[Sanguine]

Why would Advocaat leave PSV for us?

Because he is a dinosaur - take it from me if he were to join, the first department to be cut would be Sports Science and Sports Medical. Then the Academy would whither on the vine ...

Truly, trust me the man is out of the ark in his methods.

[Royal91]

What complete and utter moron voted Mark Hughes!

Went for Dick as he would attract players, but realistically I would have Adkins

I'll have to take your word on that as I have no idea. He's always struck me as a decent guy TBH.

Yeah was thinking the same thing

[Einstein agogo]

RDM !
No brainer

knows championship & Prem + winning champions league + scoring fastest goal ever in FA cup + polite , nice , turned WBA from nothings to somethings... etc.
I'd have him on a long term anyday

[Gordons Cumming]

Dick Advocaat for me xx

[Royal Tezza]

I'd take anyone tbf, i'm itching to get some news on it at least.

[ManchesterRoyals]

Lets not forget if the clubs going to progress we need a manager that can attract quality players

[winchester_royal]

Would be happy with:

Ole Gunnar
PDC
RDM
Poyet
Atkins

The others would leave me a little 'meh', but they'll all get my full RTG backing once they join.

[Denver Royal]
