Now's his chance to prove it, if you bring in a well known manager then it gives the players alot of confidence and thats half the battke, we have the class in our side!
i like Ranieri, but don't rate him. Had had Scott Parker, and stuck him right wing. If it wasn't for his superb personality he would of been hounded out of Chelsea long before he was.
We can't have a manager coming in who knows next to nothing about our current squad, or have unrealistic plans for Jaunary signings. We simply do not have the time, or the money.
If i could pick anyone it would be Boothroyd at Watford (but he won't come to us), at least he knows that he can't out football the top sides with the weakest team in the league so instead plays to their strengths. Our strengths? Teamwork, a striker, a couple of half decent wingers, Pace = Play wide & on the break.
Billy Davies is another who could do the goods, Sven, McGleish or maybe Jesus of Nazareth who might be able to save us?!
Perhaps the question should be not who we would want but who would want to take it?
No money to spend or opportunity to spend it, rock bottom in the table and seemingly at the point where if the players/backroom staff don't like you, you're out.
Last year Watford played some lovelly stuff, played with two wingers and played slick attractive passing football. On Winning the Play Off he realised the squad he has isn't strong enough and he knows he's not going to be able to out football sides in Prem league so adapts their tactics accordingly... The blokes smart and can adapt to a situation. Throw him in anywhere and he'll get the best out of players and the strengths of the squad with little money to spend
Don't wanna think about a new man, whoever we get in now has little/no chance of making any real difference. Sorry if I sound negative, really think we have ballsed this up.
They may have made a mistake, on the other hand they may not have. It depends how they react to this. Putting Les Reed in temporary charge is a good move and probably the only thing they could do. But he's a short-term replacement and buys some time...
Candidates...
Pardew might be out of a job soon...
Sanchez...has worked with Reed
I reckon one of these two with Murray perhaps waiting to see what happens with Pardew.
I can't see Billy Davies/Parkinson leaving their current clubs which they've just joined.
Pardew, but we need to sort out the defensive lapses that seem to cost us goals every game, too many unforced errors and too many cheap goals conceded.

Proven motivation skills, has got the best of a bad bunch.
We have more quality than the Northern Ireland side.
if we appoint a proven failure, Hoddle, Robson etc etc then Reading will be my last away game.
A firm fuck off to hoddle , o'leary , graham

Oh he's gone.
Fuctifino -
Sanchez is a good shout
What about Chris Powell with Reed - he'd certainly have the respect of the players.

Blimey, not sure I could watch that every week

Not the most enticing of opportunities.....

Sanchez and Reed? Blimey people have got short memories.
Who's responsible for organising defence & set pieces?
Maybe it's 1st team coaching that needs review?
