Poll: the managerial shortlist

[I am Lawro]

Of the listed lot - Mancini, but ideally none of those.
So voted "none of the above"

We're turning our noses up at Mancini now :lol: We really will not be able to attract anyone better than Mancini, who is a very good coach. If he wanted to come here, he would be an excellent apointment. AND it would show that our ownder do have ambition, because Mancini would not work with no budget.

[Roaring Repka]

Mancini is the standout candidate on that list but I just can't see him coming to us.

I know it sounds very unmodern and xenophobic but I would prefer a British manager or someone with experience in the country - which I suppose counts in Mancini, Bilic and Zola who have all played here. I wouldn't mind someone like Johnson, Martinez or even Irvine (Coleman although I worry he'd be a bit of a boyo!) being given the chance to step up although of course there is no chance of that happening and it wouldn't go down well with the fans. Which is why I won't even bring Alan Devonshire's name up

For now I'm going with none of the above just because I'm unsure - I'll be fully behind whoever comes in though.

[FDiMcA]

Why did you vote for Houllier?

[Di Wolfio]

Mancini for me, but it won't happen :lol:

[AJ]

does anyone know if you can bet on a manager on betfair who you think wont be west ham's new manager?

can you offer your own odds?

[simon hammer]

Voted for Mancini.

The Pink Panther theme was a work of inspired genius.

[smuts]

Out of that lot......Mancini.....can he speak the lingo though?

Bilic second choice....but I'm just not convinced by him.

[Georgee Paris]

I'm not going to rush into any of this vote malarkee until I know if the mystery man is or isn't Bananaman.

[Roaring Repka]

Did anyone hear that story about someone asking Will Hill if they could stick a tenner on Barack Obama taking over - so he was offered odds of 10,000/1! Maybe he's candidate number six, it would explain the secrecy :lol:

I guess the reason some people have voted Houllier is that he took Liverpool to their highest ever Premier League finish, won the UEFA Cup, FA Cup and Carling Cup and generally did alright there. I'm not saying he would be my first choice or anything but I can understand why people would vote for him.

[paul.nicholas1990]

I've heard the anonymous one is Martin Aleen. He gets my vote!!!

His son went to my school


i dont think martin allen is good enough for a premiership team.

[w4hammer]

ive said mancini from the start....destiny i tell thee!

Bilic second choice....but I'm just not convinced by him.

I think he can speak English.

not 100% sure though.

[rosecityhammer]

Mancini =

[kenthammer]

Bilic or Mancini for me but fear neither will take the job,not sure what Zola"s managerial experiance/qualifications are at this time,I personally dont think any of the supposed six in question will become our new manager

Like Curbs? :lol:

[Alf Garnett's (Ex) Missus]

Mancini is the best looking one out of that lot, so I'll go for him.
With PDC as his assistant I may have to change my seat in the stadium.

On a serious note though, I don't think Mancini would say "yes boss, no boss" enough to BG and his jolly gang.

Already noted that to my friend UG, Mancini, PDC and Ludo all sharing the bench.............hormonal heaven

Depends on how good his English is..[/quote]

Do you know something we don't know?

[Claretandblueyank]

I voted for Houllier. It would be nice to have an ole saggy face back at UP :lol:

[Los Martillos]

I voted for Mancini. However, if given 2 votes, my second would have been Bilic. Most of us on here appear to be on the same wavelength. I am intriued as to who numero six is.

I thought you would be voting for Vic Doyle - the owner of Shire foods.
