I think GON a bit underestimated. Did a good job at Bournemouth.
But OGS surely has to be the Ipswich choice.
The connection to McKenna, Pert etc.
McKenna was a romantic at heart and so is OGS. And the fact that his wife's family are Town fans because we played their home town in the 60s...
Desperate for it to be Solskjaer now!

Both are a downgrade on McKenna, but a change is as good as a holiday, as Judith Chalmers famously quoted, or didn't.. |  |

I get the romance but I really would prefer we hire the next manager based entirely on their competence as a Football Manager as opposed to any kind of continuation or allegiance.
Otherwise lets go and get Cole Skuse in. |  | | |

Why would he leave Bury for us? | |

Feck romance. Is he *actually* the right man for the job or just the most convenient option?
OGS and O'Neil wouldn't have even featured in the top 20 of target managers of most fans this time last week.
Far, far from convinced. | | | |

Won't know the answer to that question until a few months down the line. And the same is true for anyone we appoint to be perfectly honest. We have to trust the judgement of the decision makers and hope they get it right. | | | |

Oh god, are you going to have the hots for him now and get the hump any time someone dares criticise him?

Unless we sign 7 or 8 really really good players it won’t matter who the new manager is. |  |

Is O'Neil a downgrade on McKenna? He's kept two clubs in the premier league to Kieran's zero. |  | | |

… and this is why I’m concerned about OGS. Some fans want him purely because of his links with KM. that could be a mistake.
A new manager needs to have his own ideas. Own back room staff. A new list of transfer targets.
If we simply replace KM with OGS and continue as we were, it’s a downgrade in my opinion.
Kieran has gone. This continued hope he’s coming back or is still there in some way because his mate has taken over. | | | |

The importance of both are not mutually exclusive IMO.
There are numerous examples of teams with gifted players who when managed poorly underperform and conversely, average players overperform whole due to the manager understanding the strengths and weaknesses and getting the collective effort of the individuals in tune. |  |

I dont mind if its OGS, but I am not bothered about continuity etc at all.
We were woeful in the Prem last time, so lets hope for fresh thinking this time. |  |

"He knows someone who knows the club" is not the basis on which we should be making an appointment. If it really is between Solskjaer and O'Neil, the latter has more relevant and recent experience. [Post edited 18 Jun 16:45]

I basically want OGS because he's not O'Neil. Beyond that... | |

GON will be on a hiding to nothing if appointed, I don’t think it would take long for it to turn quite toxic, quite quickly. It’s obviously quite a resounding no from the vast majority.
The feel good factor of the last few seasons would evaporate quite quickly after a run of bad results, which we are going to have at some point. |  | | |

All depends on results and how the team looks on the pitch. Joe Royle definitely wasn't wanted by fans either ( due to the Man City rivalry at the time rather than Nodge connections )
Wouldn't be my choice for sure, but GON is not some lower league journeyman manager. He's got decent Prem/overseas experience for a young coach.
I wouldn't want to appoint a manager/coach based on the feels of fans either, a good portion of our dismals wanted McKenna gone last season. If Ashton believes GON is what he wants, he'll need to back him. | | | |

I haven’t suggested that he is. The issue with GON is that his football does not buy him much patience. He has not shown enough evidence that he can build a steady side with a clear long-term identity. His Wolves side went to absolute bits.
We’re a newly promoted side, who are going to lose quite a lot. I think with him as manager, you’ll see things get nasty. He’ll have no goodwill. It would be an incredibly brave appointment.
I’m not saying Ole would get an easy ride but, he’d certainly get more patience from fans, rightfully or wrongfully. | | | |

I get the need for new ideas etc if you’re replacing a manager who’s been sacked, because of the obvious need for change, but we’re not in that position. We have just been promoted so I don’t see a problem with some continuity in staff. The new manager is bound to have some different views to his predecessor anyway | |
