Reportedly on 50k a week, one of the highest earners in the division and the highest earner at Sheffield United. Can he do a job? Yes. Can his job be done by a whole host of players earning 10k a week at this level? Yes. We've got to start bringing these wages down or offloading players on these wages.

Looked a bit more into him looks to have done a really solid job with them! definitely worth contacting him!

Honestly it wasn't actually about DR directly, he's part of that conversation but it was more aimed towards our reluctance to go for managers in jobs in the past also such as Corberan last season because of the £4m buyout, and the fact we are now likely to go for the cheaper option again with Martin/Dyche etc, there are a fair few managers i'd go for who would cost us compared to RM Just can't get my head around the idea that a manager for a few million is "expensive" but a bang average championship player for £5-10m is somehow normal.

One thing I cannot understand is the reluctance of clubs to buy managers out of their contract and the general idea that somehow £5-10m for a manager is expensive? I remember loads of chat around the time Liverpool signed Slot, with people talking about how expensive the £10m they paid for him was, £10m... for SLOT.... He's completely rejuvenated the club, he's worth £100m to that club in terms of the impact he's had. For me, a good manager is worth more than a single player in most circumstances. Look at how much Skipp cost us, then compare him to the value Ranieri, Rodgers(in the first 18-24 months), Pearson and Puel brought to the club. All of them are worth more than Skipp, but you'd never pay £25m for them if they were at another club. If the club are reluctant to sign a manager from another club because they are going to cost us 2.5m or 5m or whatever the fee is, but they are likely preparing to spend more than that on multiple players for the squad, we have become lost somewhere along the line. Managers are absolutely integral to football clubs, in most circumstances, individual players are not.

Would take him 100%

Danny Rohl (and multiple other managers we could go for) would massively utilise the most promising and proven players we have at the club in Fatawu, Mavididi, Bilal, Monga, Alves, Evans, Nelson, even Justin and Thomas. Managers like Russell Martin would utilise Vestergaard and Winks, whilst possibly improving players like Nelson, Justin, Okoli. He's unlikely to fancy Stolarzcyk unless he feels he can massively improve on the ball, he's very likely to completely nulify the intensity of Fatawu, Mavididi, Bilal, Monga, Alves and Evans. As well as we did last season, most of the players that made that squad tick have already left, or are likely to leave in the upcoming window, so I don't see our predicted leftover squad being a natural fit for RM. No Vardy, likely no Ricardo, no KDH, no Ndidi, no Hermansen, Faes will be gone (thank god but he did at least fit the system last season) We need a manager who can come in and use the squad available and be flexible, we aren't going to be spending £45m and giving out 90k a week contracts this time around.

Yeah the Pedersen rumours come from Martin apparently wanting him as part of his backroom team, a lot of Wednesday fans rate him and think he could take over when Rohl inevitably leaves. Rohl and Pedersen would be a massive step forward.

Martinball at Leicester just gives you goosebumps doesn't it.

The thought of winning possession high up the pitch and having an attacking line of Fats, Mavididi, Monga, Bilal (maybe? probably not) Alves etc bombing forward only to turn around and pass it back to their full back to pass to Vestergaard, to play it into winks, who goes back to Nelson, who passes it to Thomas, who passes it to Jakub, who plays it forward to Justin, who passes it into Skipps, who plays it short to Winks, who plays it back to vestergaard, who pings it quickly into jakub, who fumbles the control and we concede

Still fully behind him, but can see the writing on the wall that his recent behaviour to escape Wednesday probably repeats itself when our lot give him another shopping list of lies

Yep just realised i'm a bit behind on that one

Rumoured to be in talks about the Werder Bremen job.

I mean, the board u-turned on Jesse Marsch because of the fan backlash, the backlash towards RM has been far stronger, surely someone, somewhere in the club is passing this feedback on?? Someone at the club needs to print these 73 pages off and put it under Rudkins door. Martin seems a good guy and would probably leave us in a better position than he inherited, but the point is you can already envision his departure before he’s even started, he’s admitted himself he’s more determined than ever not to deviate his game plan, madness if we go for this. He would be a great match for Rangers, but this place will be toxic after 5-10 matches next season if we follow the game plan of his Southampton team last season.

What a contrast between us and Saints. 72 pages of mainly dread and absolute disgust at the boards complete lack of imagination and ignorance towards fans opinions, compared to the Southampton fans who for the most part look absolutely raring to go already, behind the manager and excited for the future. Its making me feel sick seeing where we are.

SunSport can reveal the 39-year-old remains one of the names in the frame to replace sacked Philippe Clement, despite interest from Leicester City.

Anyone else have the feeling that our first championship pre match conference will be Ruud Van Nistelrooy talking about needing alignment having not spoken to the board yet and wondering what his future is 🤣

Exactly where I'm at. Plus his style requires quite dynamic players who are comfortable on the ball, something any future manager would certainly benefit from.

He played well in Serie A in a campaign fighting for Europe, and played generall quite poorly in a team absolutely sapped of any confidence and everyone around him making multiple clangers per game. He has potential, but he's a sellable asset. If we get rid of the dead wood on high wages like Faes etc, and manage to bring in our targets and Kristiansen is viable then we should keep him, he's 22 and has time to improve in the Championship. If we need cash then sell.

We can only hope that the club have told him he must 100% play to our wingers strengths, I doubt it though.

They see me ROHL IN.......

You’re completely right, it’s got to a point I don’t really feel anything about the relegation, what’s the point in wasting my mental health worrying about the nepobaby owner and his crew, neither them or the players give a toss so it’s not worth worrying about. Will still be supporting the club but I’m very much in the “I told you so” frame of mind towards the ownership. With that said though, as a fanbase we do need to hold these charlatans to account before they destroy the club completely

He just completely nullifies them of their flair, very much wants them to turn around and pass backwards rather than drop the shoulder and run at someone.

John Rudkin: Okay, another successful season has passed, let’s look to the future. Okay, so the wingers are our best position, our defence is the weak point. Let’s sign a manager who nullifies our best assets but also leaks goals for fun. Yes, I’ll sleep well tonight. Another day being a winner.

Trying to avoid caring about this club and the football we are about to endure once again.

Speaking to a few Southampton fans about how Martin pretty much destroyed the flair and excitement of their wingers has made this a monumental NO from me, it was a no anyway but our best 2 players are wingers, It would be the most king power move ever to look at the squad we have then go for a manager who completely nullifies their talent. If I have to watch Mavididi and Fatawu beating their man only to turn around and pass it back to the full back or play it into the midfield I’ll be done with this club. I cannot do another season of Enzoball on steroids. DANNY. ROHL. IN. Urs Fischer, Sean dyche, rydstrom, 10 other names I’ve mentioned on this thread. Anyone but sideways managers.
