ALC Fox Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 I liked Claude but fair play to the club for going balls out with this one. They know who they want and have gone for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Nacho Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 At first I thought it was £6m compensation but if its a buyout clause instead that could make it much easier to make him come here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderHiryu Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 49 minutes ago, Crispin LA said: Looks like our board is just going with the flow and gushing all over Brendon. The board doesn't have much footballing knowledge to pick a young up coming manager from the Continental leagues. Not saying that Rodgers is the man we should go for, but the history of promising young foreign managers in the league hasn't been that stellar: - AVB flopped at Chelsea and Spurs. - Aitor Karanka sacked at Boro - Pellegrino sacked from Southampton - Marco Silva flattering to deceive wherever he's been - Martinez was great at Wigan, but failed at Everton - Javi Gracia doing a decent job - Michael Laudrup started off brilliantly at Swansea but was sacked - Pochetino was a clear success at both clubs he was at, though he's won nothing in the English game As a result going for someone with actual experience in the British game and a point to prove is probably a smart decision to make. Of the two candidates that we could probably get (Rodgers and Rafa) one is a safe and dependable option (Rafa) and one is a bit more exciting but also potentially more of a risk (Rodgers). For me either one would be a good appointment. You can't afford to get relegated from the Premier League, the risk is just to great. Thus experience is essential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeg67 Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 (edited) Unless Kasper and Vardy are moved out or in no uncertain terms shown that they no longer run the club (and realistically I don’t know how you would even do that) the manager hire probably doesn’t matter all that much. We’ll have another thread like this soon enough. Edited 26 February 2019 by Deeg67 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanlegend Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 Of all candidates think BR is a decent choice, wasn’t a big fan but remember at one point he had Swansea playing like Barca and Leon Brittan playing like Iniesta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal21212121 Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 I think Rodgers could get the best out of someone like iheanacho, I know injuries have hampered him but no one got more out of Sturridge than Rodgers did. He also likes his fullbacks to push high up the pitch like they did at Swansea which will suit Ricardo and Chilwell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Posted 26 February 2019 Share Posted 26 February 2019 Interesting read here on why he got axed by Liverpool Why BR got axed from Anfield When you review his time as a whole there, it’s not great. I’m not convinced he’s the right person for us. He’s done okay in Scotland however it’s not the competitive league is was 10 - 15 years ago. With the resources at the disposal, how many other current Premier League Managers would have emulated what Rodgers has done at Celtic? Most of them?

He got sacked from Liverpool because they lost their best player in Suarez but also because their problems had been endemic for years without any focus from above him. What he needed was time and investment, which is what Klopp has had. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me all this says he got axed because of a poor transfer policy from the transfer committee they had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll have another thread like this soon enough. If the board encourage players to have a voice, they'll have a voice. We've not seen those players let the side down in terms of work rate, and they haven't been among the worst performers of Puel's reign. Neither has there been any breathtaking show of insubordination, only a few grumbles and a bit of media gossip. There was no problem with the previous boss, and only a bunch of discredited gossip regarding the one before him, who appeared to have lost the plot anyway. Bearing in mind Puel made enough odd decisions to undermine his own stewardship, and that you'd expect the professionals who worked with him to raise an eyebrow here and there, I'd say there's not enough to go on for us to call for star players to be ditched. And I suspect there's not enough to put off big name candidates for the job, including (perhaps) Rodgers and Benitez. If Puel was let down, I'd look at the players who've emerged post-Pearson rather than the 'Old Guard' - Mendy and Maddison being in such dreadful form in our recent poor run, Iheanacho, Ghezzal, Maguire, Gray. The 'Old Guard' may have got a bit old, but their effort levels have remained admirable enough, Vardy included. No, he's not in top form, but he's not the first striker to suffer under Puel, and if he's been poor in the second half of Puel's reign, he was the stand-out star of the first. Above all, though, it's just a case of a manager trying to implement a style which has had questionable success in the EPL in recent times, not having the players to implement that style and, at two different clubs, getting fired as a result. In our case you can throw a few weakened team selections for cup games into the equation, and a miserable post-Wycombe-esque collapse in form in the aftermath. I don't think we need to go searching, dagger in hand, for any serpents' heads. And I think potential new managers will see that too. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio had lost it big time and shakey didn’t have the ability to manage a PL club. (Tactics and motivation) puel has suffered due to his shocking man management across the board (and poor communication skills which could well be related) stop believeing the narrative put out there by those who have a strange agenda ...... not sure why they don’t like the very specific character traits that meant we actually achieved the pinnacle of our supporting lives ......... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
