Who realistically could we attract as a new manager?

Wenger would look at our squad and be gone as fast as he could zip up his big coat. Might be long enough to save us so let's get him in ;)
 
We need a Venables & Robbo setup.. not a new manager, only to be replaced in the summer.

JW & his inexperienced coaching setup just not up to it.
 
Warnock is great at getting clubs promoted, not great at saving them from relegation.

Fat Sam is better at saving clubs. Don’t like him much but if he kept us up, I would willingly kiss his shoes.

Wenger is a friend of Gibson’s too but I can’t see it, unfortunately,
 
Ayala. We'll scour the football world again and realise that the outstanding candidate is already here. Rinse, repeat and serve for the next twenty years...

TBF we've only done that twice, and one of those men has gone on to be England manager with as good a record as anyone other than Alf Ramsey.

Edit: Ok on reflection I suppose we'd have to include Agnew in that too.
 
David O'Leary anybody?

Maybe have Woodgate installed as his assistant and someone like Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink as first team coach?

Our backroom team immediately starts looking more robust and with genuine experience and fresh ideas. We're early days and it's a work in progress, a few tweaks here and there are inevitable. This is a long term project and I think the injection of 'the braithwaite money' would be best spent in the champo on the right coaching set up than spent on dross in league one.
 
For me it needs to be someone with experience, who is a proven motivator, good communicator and will be respected by players at the club. Someone who knows what the Championship is all about. Never mind this constant positivity guff from Woodgate, the players will be able to see right through it. A coach who is not afraid to say it how it is.

The only man that fits the bill for me is Warnock, although I would not be averse to Adkins if pushed. Woodgate has lost a large percentage of the fans that i know or read from on here and other forums, Djed Spence apparently has attitude problems too, it rarely ends well when things are stacking up so quickly.

Col, listen to the BBC Tees interview from this morning. At no point is it said that Spence has an attitude problem, just that he's reached a certain level and let his standards drop. It sounds more like complacency if anything.

A young player like that who has been thrust into first team football needs an arm around them. If anything I think it reflects more on our manager (or head coach - still don't know which it is?) and coaching staff that they are unable to manage and motivate him.

Ok will listen to tees sport Rico (y), I hear what you say, but if he isn’t not putting the effort into training and letting his standards drop, that to me is showing a bad or poor attitude re training. He was dropped from the squad for it last weekend allegedly too.

Rico, I have just listened again and the Tees reporter clearly says Spence was missing due to attitude problems

I hope you're not trying to equate Southgate to Alf Ramsay just to verify your argument there.
