Maybe Dai will use ChatGPT to find who the next manager should be

Royal_jimmy My top 3 realistic choices in order of preference. All 3 would be suited to the role based on their success in building a team from scratch.

1. Chris Wilder
2. Richie Wellens
3. Nathan Jones


Would you be okay with Darren Ferguson?

Will Sheffield Wednesday be fishing in the same managerial pond as us when they sack Moore ?

As already posted elsewhere…Huddersfield are looking for a Chris Wilder too…..and yes, Wednesday would be a decent opportunity for him too.

Alan Nixon said the club are looking to make a quick appointment, promising if it's someone like Wilder/Wellens, no oxf*rd around, let him start getting his squad together.

Very much doubt he'd go to Wednesday with the Sheff Utd connection.

Fwiw I think it will be Wellens anyway.

Only if we relocated up the A1 and were renamed

If it’s to be an untried, first job manager, then the only one I’d consider is John O’Shea (who has reportedly just left his position at Stoke so……??)

Looking forward then to Rio Ave’s current manager taking up the reins as early as mid July.

Have you seen his managerial record? Not too shabby. 6 promotions in 8 years. Very much a rising star in Portugal.

And this analysis likens his style to Chris Wilder's at Sheffield Utd.

YorkshireRoyal99 Hutchinson reminds me of that sort of player, it's a shame we haven't had him on the pitch much after that point.

I think McShane started losing his place after giving 2 penalties away at Blackburn, although that may have been just under Clement rather than any managers that followed.

He should have never played for us again after that idiocy at Blackburn.

Love him or hate him, I really admire the way Darren Ferguson try’s to get Posh to play football. I would settle for that at the SCL compared to the utter garbage served up in recent years.

I have never really followed his career but he doesn’t seem to be able to hack it in the Championship, but not sure if that’s because he’s never been at a club which has been able to give him the financial backing.
Anyway, for League One he’d be a good choice.

He’s got the best coach in the world for advice in Sir Alex so would be a yes from me certainly

Please don't give Dai any ideas :x

No more foreign managers please! About time we appointed one who knows the league we'll be playing in

We've tried to get Fergie Jnr before, but Posh wanted £1m just to speak to him iirc. Must've been when Coppell left.

I have seen it mentioned that we’re looking at Luke Williams the Notts County manager. Obviously, pure speculation but a managerial appointment of this nature wouldn’t surprise me. Also, he might be able to persuade Langstaff to come here.
