stretch1965 Posted 19 October 2017 Share Posted 19 October 2017 Apparently we are not in a rush to sign a new manager and Chris Colemans contract expires in a month. Anybody think he could be the one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly a very talented manager. He would surely be the clean slate that many are after and the big name the owners want. A whole new approach probably and experience of playing and managing at the highest level. Blanc (if at all interetsed), Dyche or Howe for me. EDIT: Seems Blanc is very close to securing the USA job. Hope Big Sam can do us a favour there but unlikely. Come on Dyche and Howe.. Say you're interested or else I will start panicking! Agree here, of all the European 'names' he's probably the most likely as he's out of work, of the others Tuchel/Ancelotti wouldn't touch us at the moment. And Rudkin does no scouting whatsoever on up and coming European managers. Polar opposite of Les Reed at Southampton, who has a rolling dossier of 5 managers that fit the system/ethos and would likely join if offered. Light years ahead of our reactive and 'square pegs in round holes' approach to recruitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody think he could be the one? why? was it his success at Coventry? or was it his failed attempt at a world cup place with wales that makes coleman the ideal man?

Vocey Posted 19 October 2017 Share Posted 19 October 2017 Really don’t see why any manager currently in a job would look at how the club is run and think it’s an attractive proposition. Blanc would be incredible, I’d even be happy with Sam. But you just know it will be Coleman or Pardew and we will have taken another step back.

Which they would They would have a large transfer budget, but we have spent big in the last couple of years and done nothing. A change of manager won’t change that as it’s becoming clear the manager isn’t making all decisions on transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyche is apparently on 500k at Burnley and a rolling 1 year contract.. The offer of a 2-3 million/3 year contract may make us a very attractive proposition.

Vocey Posted 19 October 2017 Share Posted 19 October 2017 I can’t argue with you that Dyche would consider us a step up from Burnley, or take any shit due to incompetence around him. But if I was him, I’d be holding tight and eyeing up the everton job instead (if I wasn’t a Leicester fan of course!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifted*fox Posted 19 October 2017 Share Posted 19 October 2017 I've been struggling to get myself down to games this year as I refuse to waste my time 'supporting' something that's being as horrifically run as our club is at the moment. If they appoint Moyes, Coleman or Pardew or a similar calibre of manager then I will simply return / sell my season ticket and stop going. I joked that I should just pack football in after our PL win as nothing would ever come close but at no point did I think we'd regress and fall apart in the manner which we have. I quite frankly have better things to do on a friday evening / saturday afternoon / sunday evening / monday evening (whenever the **** we get told to play games these days) than sit and watch a bunch of overpaid baby-men aimlessly kick a ball about with no intent, no game-plan, no passion, no drive and all without any decent explanation from the club as to why we find ourselves in this situation. Unless we appoint someone with a solid philosophy / forward-thinking football mind then I'm really not interested anymore. What I loved about Pearson is that he gave our club an identity - a purpose, a goal and everyone believed in it. Alright, sometimes it wasn't the prettiest football but it's a ****ing damn sight better than anything we've witnessed in the last 18 months. We're in a storm at sea and currently nobody has any idea what they're supposed to be doing - unless we appoint a decent captain then this ship is sinking faster than the ****ing titanic.

China seems to be a retirement home for many managers and players because of the money but the premier league Is a different kettle of fish. You would hope the Thais would at least go for him.

Is currently in China which in footballing terms is pretty much a backwater. The only stumbling block I can see is what I would assume are his massive wages?

Ric Flair Posted 19 October 2017 Share Posted 19 October 2017 AVB is potentially leaving next month so any holding out for someone is more likely to be someone like that than Coleman who has absolutely nothing to do in the next month so if we wanted him we'd get him now and Wales would be given a nominal amount.

The Chinese league ends on the 4th November so it is a possibility fingers crossed. He ticks all the boxes as far as the Thais are concerned; has managed in the premier league, won trophies.

I feel like Dyche is his agent trying to get him a better contract, given he leaked the story. Could be anyone, Top wants Ancelotti but he clearly doesn't fancy it.
