The possibility of Sean Dyche angers many on here. And rightfully so.

Yet he's got 10 x the credentials of Scott Parker.
Scotty is at the beginning of his career, Dyche also got relegated in his first season with Burnley in the PL

Guardiola was given the Barca job with no proper management experience behind him. Klopp was manager when Mainz were relegated in 2007, one year later after failing to gain promotion with them he decided to quit and Dortmund snapped him up.

What credentials did Bill Nick have when took charge in 1958?

I'm not saying Parker is the standout candidate but we've just seen someone with an amazing CV in Mourinho come here and totally fail for the first time in his career. There is no guarantee or proven formula when it comes to hiring a manager
 
Just can’t see it mate. I’d rather have Howe. At least he played fun football
I have always liked Fulham because my family name is one letter off, so I watch a decent amount of them. Plus that stadium. Has to be one of the coolest left.

I appreciate Howe, he has many more years on Parker and it shows. I really feel Parker has messed up not playing Mitrovic when healthy. He should have sacrificed a bit of his desire to press and play possession based football for the proven scoring of Mitrovic.

Here are a couple of things we agree on with Brighton in terms of why they are failing compared to Fulham

Granted these are not all the stats, but I think they paint a decent picture, which is a team that plays a style of play we want, but the quality in key areas is lacking. They really aren't that bad defensively, Leeds has allowed 50 goals, Southampton, 59. It's finishing where they struggle, just like Potter's side.
 
Scott Parker is doing his apprenticeship at Fulham. He needs to stay there a couple more years at least. Get them promoted and have a better effort at keeping them up next time.
 
There is a shortage of top class managers on the market these days. You know there is a serious problem when Koeman is manager of Barcelona, Solskjaer in charge of Man Utd, Lampard started the season as boss of Chelsea

Just look at the candidates at the top of this page. None are a guarantee of success

If that's how it works then surely Eddie Howe has completed his apprenticeship, obtained a degree along the way and is now ready for a more senior position
 
I'd be shocked if it was Parker. I like the guy, but that would be a pathetic appointment.
I can smell a rat here.

What if Levy is leaking bits of bullshit that Parkers appointment is imminent. So when he announces Graham Potter the whole fan base breaths a collective sigh of relief.

Don Levy pulls it off again

4th choice according to whom? The media who whore out any random names with no real knowledge? The betting companies who make shit up to Rob you of your dash? Or the person who made up the poll?
Its pretty bloody obvious Nagelsmann and Rodgers were/are wanted. I give you ten Hag, i dont think we know if we was offered it. The whored names are the likes of Sarri and Marcelino but i think its been pretty clear who we wanted and they were the 2 mentioned before we appointed Mourinho.

He first left Bournemouth in 2011 and completely flopped at Burnley. He found his level and went back to the safety of Bournemouth. His work there wasn't good enough to attract a bigger move. He's a competent manager but not a great one. He'll never manage a top club. He's much more likely to end up managing England
 
So who do you prefer?
For me personally my first choice has always been Potter and then Steve Cooper if we are after a young coach who can improve players but thats my opinion and they maybe aren't big enough names for us

After that im not sure tbh mate, people talk about Rangnick but I dont know enough of him, people weren't happy with Mourinho because he's abit of a cunt, I think the same of Rodgers, in my opinion he has been lucky with recruitment at Swansea and Leicester especially the latter

Who would you want?
