Name the next manager

[Penwortham_Claret]

Carrick has already been approached… apparently

[warksclaret]

Paul cook anyone

Can't keep a job

[warksclaret]

Would love to see Steve Cooper of Forest considered if they do not get promoted. Has got the Forest team playing brilliantly, and is bringing on some young talent. Great history in the Championship

[Rowls]

Carrick has already been approached… apparently

Not very promising.

He has 0 proven ability to manage.

What criteria are we judging applicants by?

[Devils_Advocate]

Please let it be Owen Coyle. I think he would be the perfect mentor for Ben Mee

[Gp8419]

No brainer…………. Roooooooneeeey!

What the hell as Rooney done! Put the 21 points on that they got deducted and they are in 17th! For some reason people think he’s a genius coz derby have made a fight of staying up (there still going down btw) but it’s blinded people because there still 17th regardless.

[dermotdermot]

Zelensky for me. Seems just the guy for a proper fight! ()

Once again, Dark Cloud speak with forked tongue.

[jedi_master]

I think people need to seriously lower their expectations and remember that the people running the club haven’t a ******* clue what they’re doing.

Get ready for someone like Felix Magath.

[gandhisflipflop]

In your opinion

[Burnleyareback2]

Going to be someone who has first name for a surname.

[DCWat]

The upcoming appointment, whoever it may be, will likely tell us a lot about Pace and co.

[Bin Ont Turf]

Another problem with sacking Dyche is, the stupid f***ing next manager suggestions we're going to get on here.

[Shaggy]

A world class manager like Rafa Benitez would be nice.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Alan pace’s claret and blue army !

[eastcoastclaret]

Going to be someone who has first name for a surname.

John Terry

[Middle-agedClaret]

John Terry

Noooooooooooo!!!!

[alwaysaclaret]

Going off the latest list from sky bet, would anyone take ole gunnar solskjaer, would quite possibly be an attractive job to him I reckon.

[KRBFC]

quite a remarkable achievement with absolutely zero funds, a **** poor squad of youth teamers and old pros and all of the off field problems.

[gandhisflipflop]

No chance.

[Firthy]

BFS has to be our worst nightmare. If this did happen it would show that ALK are totally clueless. We can only wait and see and say a prayer every night.

[Foreverly Claret]

DUFF

[KRBFC]

DUFF

I hope not, god I hope we stay clear of employing people because of their previous affiliation with the club.

[DCWat]

DUFF

Far too much of a gamble.

[Berne Leigh]

BFS would do me until the end of the season.

[SouthLondonexile]

Let the dust settle and keep Ben Mee in charge to the end of the season. I’ve been so self absorbed with BFC that I haven’t paid much attention to the qualities of other mangers. I’m guessing the owners of BFC will have their shortlist. Please FFS not Allerdyce!

[Rowls]

Duff has been in management for four years.

He's gained a lot more experience and done better as a manager than several others on the list.

Past association with us should be the tiniest of considerations (if at all) but Duff has actually done well as a manager and shouldn't be ruled out.

[ClaretMov]

I'll throw this name into the ring Rudi Garcia

[Steddyman]

It's not going to be Duff, it's not going to be BFS and it is not going to be Ben.

Wouldn't get linked with any other PL job, clearly his hat thrown into the ring only because of his past association with us as a player.

[RVclaret]

Me too.

[Rowls]

Wouldn't get linked with any other PL job, clearly his hat thrown into the ring only because of his past association with us as a player.

Then the other PL clubs aren't properly considering all their possibilities. We shouldn't make the same mistakes as they do, we should look to make better decisions than them.

Judging by today's news, I'm not confident on that front.

[Pickles]

I think Pace will want someone with a bit of a high profile. Cheap though, too.

I can really see it being Carrick.

I would hope a PL club aren't considering appointing a tinpot League One clubs manager

[Woonderbah]

With the upcoming managerial clear out at Old Trafford, I'm surprised Phelan hasn't been suggested

[Rowls]

I would hope a PL club aren't considering appointing a tinpot League One clubs manager

I think your is exactly the kind of self-limiting thinking that led to the glut of 'Mike England' style managers and now restricts young talent reaching the top. If Pep Guardiola happened to have managed a lowly club do would it make him a worse manager?

Here's hoping for a good appointment based on managerial ability and that alone.

Why? because I don't want a manager who has zero experience in the 2nd tier nevermind the top flight? Let him gain his experience elsewhere and lets see how he does.

[warksclaret]

For me Chris Wilder is an interesting one. Far more technically astute than SD.Can change things round at half time. Knows the lower league players well, and has a great CV for promotions.Knows how to operate the loans market and a bit like Burnley capable of getting great results from lower league players. I know he got relegated with Sheff Utd last year, but so did SD about 8 years ago

[Penwortham_Claret]

Apparently Slaven Bilic has made it known that he’d be interested in the job

[Murger]

I doubt Wilder would come. He's under contract at Boro for 1. It's totally pointless him stepping up a division for 7/8 games.

[Claretforshaw]

I have little confidence in the current board to appoint a manager who can do a better job than the one they have just sacked, particularly as they hold the purse strings very tightly.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

BFS has to be our worst nightmare. If this did happen it would show that ALK are totally clueless. We can only wait and see and say a prayer every night.

Proven to keep teams up against the odds, for eight games we could do a lot worse

[FCBurnley]

Welcome Ted Lasso

[Spiral]

I've just had this terrifying feeling we're going to end up with Bob Bradley.

[Spiral]

Welcome Ted Lasso

JINX! Well, near enough.

[depechedingle]

Knudsen from Bodo/Glimt.

[Longsidelenny1882]

Very sad day for the clarets I would take Rooney all day long uptheclarets

[ŽižkovClaret]

Leftfield suggestion, but Jindřich Trpišovský

[Stalbansclaret]

Proven to keep teams up against the odds, for eight games we could do a lot worse

West Brom ? PLEEEEEASE no BFS in our club.

[KateR]

Where's Phil Brown these days?
