Downsouth 6,328 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Do members feel that there will be a crisis meeting being held this weekend by the powers that be regarding whether or not AK keeps his role and secondly do you feel that Gibson should and will make some sort of comment either as full backing of AK or will we just simply hear zilch from him when perhaps it would be best to actually hear some of his thoughts for the remainder of this debacle and hugely frustrating period Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 If Gibson isn't thinking of sacking him then he isn't doing his job. Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,656 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I think he will be sacked by Monday evening at the latest. Today felt like a watershed moment. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Changing Times Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I don't expect him to be in charge next weekend. Link to post Share on other sites
hanzino 4 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 i don't think Gibson has the balls to fire him. Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy 140 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I think he won't be sacked, and we'll hear nothing. But I don't agree with it. Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,328 Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Surely though it is about time we heard from SG even if it is the dreaded "we back Aitor all the way" I know that we fans probably want to hear something but that is why I mentioned zilch coming from his directon Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Perhaps this thread should be used to discuss potential options going forwards as I think the consensus is fairly unanimous on AK now. Rowett is an option, not sure he'd bring much different to AK Hiddink is one I've mentioned before, no idea if he'd even take our call but I think he'd do the best job I think. Pardew? Yuck. Although he does tend to bring a quick improvement before slow decline. Pearson, absolute nutjob but I think we'd get a team willing to run through brick walls for survival every week if we got him.

Jimmy 140 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Depends on what we want really; a short term or long term fix. I think someone like Rowett would be good long term option, or even Gary Monk. Look what he's done at Leeds and out of contract in the summer. Short term - Pearson would probably be able to provide the motivation. Bit of a bell end though. I suppose if we did go down too he's experience in promoting a team out of the championship pretty emphatically. Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,656 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Roberto Mancini even if it is just to give the fans something to shout about until the end of the season. Could have a similar effect to Rafa Benitez up the road. Link to post Share on other sites

Dxmge 0 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I dont think he'll be sacked l, if he leaves he will walk again. if he goes I think we have 3 options 1. Go with someone with pl experience and try keep us up this season 2. Go with someone who has a history of getting teams out of the championship in preparation for next season 3. An unknown quantity similar to Steve mclearn and aitor kranka appointments (hopefully the scouting network has been doing their homework home and abroad regarding this type of appionment) Link to post Share on other sites
cornishboroboy 272 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I don't want Aitor to leave personally; but if he was to go I'd like to see Mancini in, or Giggs Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,301 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 David Wagner has done a tremendous job at Huddersfield and could also be a long term option. He probably wouldnt be available now though considering their season. I haven't advocated for AKs sacking before but it's clear that something needs to change or we will 99% go down. Might as well try something else. Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,490 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 There's not many realistic options around at the moment. If we were to survive perhaps someone like Mancini or Hiddink but for now. The only realistic targets I can see are the likes of Hodgson, Warburton or Wagner. Link to post Share on other sites
