There has been so much speculation and linking of CC with a whole raft of jobs in the last 12 months that you would hope there has been some preparation for this day (a very un-Albion like approach I know). To that end, it’s possible there may be names from abroad of which we are unaware and which may be very leftfield.
Of the names currently being bandied about from the list of unemployed managers, I guess we have to be realistic; Potter is clearly hanging out for a substantial EPL position so wouldn’t consider us and Moyes has never worked at this level for many years, although I honestly would not want him. The rest is a list of “the sacked”, so take your pick but none of them are exactly inspiring.
Tony Mowbray would be a nostalgic choice and his football when we won the Championship was glorious but, then again, I would suggest the squad of players he had is streets ahead of the current one. I’m never sure going back is always the right decision (thinking of Johnny Giles and Ron Atkinson) but who knows.
If I was forced to pick from the names being bandied about, I’d probably go for Robbins but it wouldn’t be with any great enthusiasm. Merry Christmas everyone
Completely agree that, right now, as big a challenge is keeping hold of what talent we have
