He might be flavour of the month because he appeared on MNF, but I have to say, Will Still has to be a very credible option for a number of reasons. This article was written when he was at Reims https://theanalyst.com/2023/11/the-revolution-at-reims-under-will-still I think his style of football would resonate more with our fanbase. Quicker progressive passing, aggressive pressing. Has also been willing to be versatile with formations both at Reims and Lens. He’s also worked with younger squads, when he first stepped into Reims, they had the youngest squad in Ligue 1. When it comes to youth development, targeting managers from certain leagues like France, Belgium, Netherlands, where youth development is key would be a very wise move, looking at managers from those countries, Will Still is probably the most realistic and credible name of the bunch. The only negative I would give is that he loves a dip in form, in both season’s at Reims he had them pushing for Europe, but they fell away in both campaigns. But from a style of play and youth development perspective, he has some credibility in the bank over some of the underwhelming names that are unsurprisingly linked.

@Claudio Fannieri @Ric Flair We might be in the shit, but Argyle’s situation sounds shitter, could he be available 🤔

Sheffield Wednesday have been statistically one of the more fast & direct teams in the Championship, none of this slow & intricate bollocks that a lot of our fanbase have become bored with. Only thing I’m sceptical about when it comes to Rohl is youth development, it could be down to Sheffield Wednesday being badly run, but they currently have one of the oldest squads in the Championship, while he has relied heavily on numerous 30+ year olds. But Rohl has plenty of upside going for him, I’d rather go the up-and-coming managerial route over the safe and underwhelming route.

A pair of easy on the eye Semi-Finals, could be a great advert for Snooker over the remaining days. Hard to look past Judd though, definitely playing the best Snooker of the four.

Kota Takai who has been linked in the past…

Matthias Jaissle. Loved his work at RB Salzburg, but not sure we’d be able to prise him away from Al-Ahli. Really depends how brave they’ll be feeling again. If Leeds let Farke go, you’ll have three managers in Farke, Martin and Dyche right in Leicester City’s lap who’ve experienced Championship promotion, underwhelming as they are, it would be a safe and unsurprising route to go down. Or they can be brave and go the inexperienced route again, Davide Ancelotti probably tops that list right now as it seems he’ll definitely be available this summer.

Maric was linked with the Sunderland job, but they opted for Le Bris instead. But it feels like we’re stuck in the exact same predicament when we appointed Maresca. At that time Parker, McKenna and Gerrard were also linked. This time around, very much like Parker, you’ve got your underwhelming options like Martin, Dyche, O’Neill. Like McKenna, you’ve got your up-and-coming option like Rohl. Gerrard is available again. While like Maresca, you’ve got your assistant manager options like Ancelotti and Maric. They’ve been down the inexperienced route before, but I think it’s very easy for the club to go down the safe and underwhelming route this time around, especially after seeing what Farke, Parker and Wilder have done this season. But if they had any sense, they’d appoint someone who would be willing to give the likes of Nelson, Alves, Monga and Evans a chance, but when it comes to youth, it’s probably best to dip abroad like Sunderland have done with Le Bris, but would the club be willing to scour overseas, recent history suggests no.

A Crucible classic, what a match. I’m sweating after that, I need some ice cream to cool down

Surprised to see Wakelin has shit the bed in his match, Zhao hasn’t been at his scintillating best either. Those in the bottom half just looking that bit stronger atm.

So many underwhelming possibilities and I’d put Farke in that bracket too if he left. But…I’d prefer him over someone like Martin or Dyche. Watched Leeds against Bristol City last night, the intensity they played at was a magnificent watch, plus the way their wingers played when they hit Bristol City on transition, I instantly thought that the likes of Mavididi and Fatawu could be absolutely lethal in a Farke setup.

If they let him go, I’d take Farke over Martin or Dyche any day, far more watchable football.

As Ric said, intriguing shout mate. I came across this tweet when delving into John Mousinho last week. The Championship form guide since the new year which pinpoints the improvement Muslic has made at Plymouth. As you said in your other post, I’d rather target a Championship manager who has recent upside. Liam Manning, John Mousinho and Miron Muslic tick that box.

Jaw dropping stuff mate, I clapped him off from my living room He does things in a unique way, but he showed tonight why he needs to be at the top of the game, the type of Snooker that will attract new viewers, especially the younger generation.

Luca has just produced one of the greatest sessions of Snooker seen at the Crucible, absolutely unreal 🔥👏🏻

I’m looking forward to Elliott Moore scoring the winner in a 1-0 home loss to Oxford, but our new manager Russell Martin won’t be bothered because we’ll have 70% possession.

Certainly wouldn’t rule someone like him out, especially if Winks buggers off.

Nothing will beat Ronnie’s 5 minute one, Murphy at the Shoot Out is firmly second on my list. Then you have a few classics, just because of the occasions, but in terms of difficulty, I’d probably put Allen’s 4th or 5th on my list.

Give me some ninja celebrations at the KP. https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/who-is-shuto-machino-holstein-kiel-japan-rapp-wind-31452#:~:text=Both Machino and Wind have,comfortable dropping deeper when required.

About 5-6 shots in that break where he could’ve easily butchered it. Top 5 147 worthy perhaps 🤔

Where does that rank in terms of 147s 🤔 He produced some unbelievable shots in that break 👏🏻

Beating Brecel and Bingtao in a final though, compared to potentially Higgins, Trump or Murphy, umm, I’m just not sure mate. The way Wakelin is looking, it might be him from the top half

Shuto Machino as Holstein Kiel may get relegated from the Bundesliga. The type of striker who gets involved in the play and can link up.
