In the longer video he says he isn't retiring so will be fun to see where he goes next!

I means he's had less than 50 games at a top club, I think it's way too early to make any conclusions about Hellberg

Rydstrom could be more realistic soon, he's had a bad start to the season for Malmö so might want a new challenge

I admire his football but we would need a good succession plan, he would be off the first good offer he got. He left Sirius to go back to Kalmar to 'be closer to his daughter' then took the Malmo job a year later. Funnily enough with all the Winks stuff recently, he basically said he didn't want to commute between Uppsala and Kalmar anymore when he left, then magically turned up in Malmo a year later.

Europa league run with Östersund, good spell at Swansea and transformed Brighton to such an extent that his style is still used now. I think it's very underrated how he took them from playing defensive football to being one of the best footballing sides in the League. As I said, give him a pre season and then lets talk

He took over a terrible squad and hasn't had a pre-season, seems a bit odd to write him off.

The ceiling is much higher here and he will probably want a new challenge after winning the league a few times in a row in Malmo.

I'd love us to bring in Rydstrom for Malmo, he has a real way of doing things and of building a team but after being interviewed by Brighton I wonder if he wants something bigger

I wonder, has there ever been a time where we (or really any team) have played attractive entertaining football but got relegated? This isn't meant to be a jibe I just can't really think of anyone

I think with Potter, Brighton were on an upward path when he left, so I am not sure if they have improved as such more just kept on the same path. Chelsea have also spent loads and sacked a manager in the meantime.

He scored four times for the second worst team in the league, crap is a bit over the top

Forest completely altered their style of play at the start of last season then changed back when it didn't work hahah

Took a team from 10th to back to back playoffs. Took a team from bottom of the Championship to Premier League survival. If that is not solid, what is?

Or they don't agree that appointing a manager with a solid track record is a bad thing?

I am not sure if suggesting ruling a manager out from the moment they are appointed is the same as backing Rodgers to the end.

I concede that I am very much in the minority here but I am relatively happy with this. He has had two club management jobs and improved the league position of both clubs he took over. Swansea were 11th favourites in his first season and he finished 6th, then 7th favourites in his second season and finished 4th. Of course with Forest he did a very good job I would say. His style of play, is of course, a concern but I think we have been very focused on 'philosophy' managers when he is a more pragmatic, Forest played well in the Championship, then he adapted in the PL, tried to change it to be more attacking but pulled back when it failed. If you look at Kompany and to be honest even Maresca, I worry that a more stubborn philosophy based manager wouldn't have changed the way we played if it was clearly not working. I don't think it is possible to judge exactly how we will play until we see it. There were without doubt better options but I don't see this as some kind of huge disaster

Look at them all pretending like they care

When he isn't our best player? Its a bad miss for sure but Maddison has credit in the bank

Me too! Its totally flat now.

A slightly left field option but maybe Kjetil Knutsen from Bodo/Glimit, would be like getting Potter before he moved to Swansea. Got a team with a pretty small budget to wins over Roma and a European quarter final.

As a club we have to accept our place in the food chain, which is a step below Chelsea (maybe a couple of steps.) We need to be the club that top young players like Fofana come to in the knowledge that they will improve, we as a club will improve and maybe pick us some trophies and a European tour on the way then when an offer comes in from the big clubs we will be willing to sell but for a price that benefits us. I totally agree with you.

I feel the same, I feel for my LGBTQ friends who have basically just had a bit F U from the league today too

I would stop watching, I know our owners are not whiter than white but I think being owned by a state would be a line too far for me

I worry that Rogers said to Rudders, "Look man, there is only so much I can do with this squad," and a lightbulb went off in Rudders head

Yes because it will mean less timewasting, that will be so much better
