Thracian Posted 4 July 2015 Share Posted 4 July 2015 It's time for some answers. We had a faltering start to the last close season but the owners aren't convincing me they've got their next step sorted. Europe next season? We'll be lucky to get to the Clock Tower without a manager. Granted our owners might have their target/s. But the list of inspiring possibilities looks woefully thin to me - and any depth of erosion and we'll be right up shit creek without a condom. .

AJSLCFC Posted 4 July 2015 Share Posted 4 July 2015 I really hope that the chairman approaches Laudrup who made a massive impact at Swansea over lennon who is a piece of our history and if that's what they want then MON is definitely the better option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 4 July 2015 Share Posted 4 July 2015 Cotterill down to 5/2 on some books. bizarre - where has he shown an ability to work with high paid, high performing players at the highest level? I could see him as a number 2 at PL level. Maybe he has been approached in this regard and someone has put 2+2 together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enmac Posted 4 July 2015 Share Posted 4 July 2015 The list of 50 odd possibles on oddschecker is pretty woeful. From that lot, the best (possible) looks to me like Laudrup, mainly because he likes attacking football. Why did he get sacked from Swansea though?

foxinsocks Posted 4 July 2015 Share Posted 4 July 2015 Nah he's actually drifted slightly. Just seen Sheringham being interviewed on SSN about him taking over at Stevenage, i'd rather take a flyer and risk on him than bleeding Lennon. Surely the owners are too ambitious fir success to seriously consider Lennon... does any one think he be better than nigel... they can't have this look like a backward step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettsj2 Posted 4 July 2015 Share Posted 4 July 2015 Suprised there is so much against Cotterill given the season Bristol City have just had where Hassellbaink and Rowett seem to be mentioned with affection. Not saying I want Cotterill but if you want continuity from Pearson, its not that far detatched in styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkyrobot Posted 4 July 2015 Share Posted 4 July 2015 Cotterill? Having sacked one of the best English managers around, replacing him with this lower league plodder would suggest that the Thais are punishing the whole of the Leicester population for the pacific rim job.

Freeman's Wharfer Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 If they appoint Cotterill then I'll find it very hard to keep faith in whatever the owners are trying to do (which in itself would be a mystery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampson Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 Suprised there is so much against Cotterill given the season Bristol City have just had where Hassellbaink and Rowett seem to be mentioned with affection. Not saying I want Cotterill but if you want continuity from Pearson, its not that far detatched in styles. Have you completely forgotten the rest of his career based on one season in League One?!He's managed 4 separate clubs in the Championship and failed miserably every single time! He's a League One manager who is a proven failure at Championship level. If we were a struggling Championship side I wouldn't want anywhere near him, let alone a Premier League side. Remember when everyone laughed and was dumbfounded by Premier League Burnley hiring proven Championship failure Brian Laws or WBA hiring proven Championship failure Alan Irvine?! Well Steve Cotterill's record in the Championship is even worse. It wouldn't just be a bad appointment, it would be one of the most ludicrous, laughable and nonsensical appointments in the history of the Premier League. I'd much rather risk someone relatively unproven like Hasseilbank or Rowett, than hiring an absolute travesty of a Championship level manager in the Premier ****ing League! Much, much rather. Cotterill down to 5/2 on some books. bizarre - where has he shown an ability to work with high paid, high performing players at the highest level? I could see him as a number 2 at PL level. Maybe he has been approached in this regard and someone has put 2+2 together. He was a number 2 at a Sunderland side who were one of the most dreadful, hilariously bad teams in the history of the top flight. He's nowhere near Premier League level as a manager, an assistant or otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will pay for the call then I would even accept a reverse call charge, infact I will drive to Wimbledon to pick him up if his phone is out of charge and would pick up Top and Vichai on the way.

Fez of Mahrez Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 When Klopp and his agent say they're not thinking only of the top four, I'm pretty sure they mean the likes of Tottenham and Everton, not us. Imagine if the vacancy was at Stoke or Villa instead and their fans thought they could get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 Sounds like Klopp is dangling the carrot. Interview in the star saying he is just a phone call away from managing in England. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/451892/Liverpool-linked-Jurgen-Klopp-admits-just-phone-call-away-managing-England It's mainly linking him with Liverpool and bigger clubs but I will pick out some interesting point and interesting quotes. Klopp, 48 - linked in the past to Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal - would be a perfect fit for the Premier. He's great at his job. Is fun and fearless. And in his finest English, Klopp says he's always just a phone call away from packing his bags to ply his trade in a country which is close to his heart and where he believes Arsene Wenger should be knighted a Sir. Klopp, middle name Norbert, said: "If someone will call me then we will talk about it. It's not important for me to stay in the same place for a long time. My children are old enough now to stay alone. "I know that some clubs were interested, of course. They thought about us. Manchester City? I don't say anything about this. "It makes me proud that some Arsenal fans might want me. But it's not important for me to be proud. My mother is proud. "The important thing is new ideas not money. It is important to make the next step. And I think England is the only country where I should work next to Germany because it's the only country where I know the language. Klopp's agent, Marc Kosicke, has already gone on record to state that Klopp's next destination in England doesn't have to be top four. He's open to offers from anyone in the Premier League. Kosicke said: "The Premier League is very interesting and we do not only think about the top four because there are some great clubs below them. "When Jurgen signed for Dortmund there were other clubs who had better prestige and were in better financial mood. Nevertheless he decided on Dortmund." New Leeds boss Uwe Rosler has closely followed Klopp's career after they played against each other in their formative years. And he's a big believer that he will join him as only the second German in English football. Rosler spent a week with Klopp and his Dortmund squad and saw enough on the sidelines to convince him of his ability to be a welcome addition to English management. He said: "We know each other. We played against each other and I have followed him since. My philosophies are very similar to his. Quick transition football with a lot of energy. "There are a lot of elements similar between us. He's been very, very successful not only in Germany but in Europe and for me to look over his shoulder on how he trained and planned his season, was very interesting. "I talked with him and he gave me some information. I watched him on the job, seeing how he communicated. The exercises he did and the meaning of them. "Would he do a good job in England? Yes. No question about it. And I think he will." It's still hugely unlikely but i've said it and i'll keep saying it, the owners have got ambition, the owners have got money, hook em' out and get him, atleast call him, try and get him. What is there to lose? It's pretty much the only appointment that will get me back on side and many others I imagine. There is no guarentee he will be successful, but he is about the only exciting and positive name on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callabinho Posted 5 July 2015 Share Posted 5 July 2015 Dortmund were living in their own shadow when Klopp took over, HE turned it around and created a monster. So we sit here saying "don't be stupid", when in reality we aren't, Klopp clearly likes a challenge, provide him with the correct materials why wouldn't he come?
