If Wednesday were to sack Monk let's have a look at potential replacements... Wednesday need a wartime manager to pull them out of this mire. So no new young player/managers included. 7 pages incoming... #SWFC
Nigel Pearson - long ball from the back, high pressing football and direct attacks from throws. Overall win percentage of 42.5%, goals for/against is 673:561 & PPG is 1.53. Preference is to play 4-2-3-1. Involved in the G.Hirst scandal so unlikely that #SWFC would approach him.
Tony Pulis (Megson assistant) - well drilled direct football with industrial defence. Survival at all costs mentality. Cleaned up Monk's mess at Boro. Last season, best defence but 5th worst attack. Overall win percentage of 36.7%, goals for/against is 851:875 & PPG is 1.37 #SWFC
Paul Cook - A motivator who has experience of an impossible situation with Wigan. Would Windass would be exiled from #SWFC? Overall win percentage of 43.4%, goals for/against is 878:644 & PPG is 1.56. Preference is to play 4-2-3-1 & attacking football on a budget. 12 honours won.
Bruno Lage. Past assistant of #SWFC & CC. Former manager of Benfica, won league & Super Cup - won 79% of games 1st season but dropped to 59.5% resulting in termination. Goals f/a is 175:74 & PPG was 2.15. Preference is to play 4-4-1-1 Arrigo Sacchi style and use youth players.
Eddie Howe - tries to play attractive football but has an inability to adapt. Holding out for a Prem job? Concern is would he have success outside of Bournemouth? Overall win percentage of 42.3%, goals for/against is 822:759 & PPG is 1.47. Prefers to play 4-4-2 double 6. #SWFC
These are the best options available to #SWFC but all have limitations and may not be realistic:
Pearson - G.Hirst situation?
Pulis - eyesore football.
Cook - would he want this situation again?
Lage - no experience with poor teams.
Howe - would he need full control of club?
