Who next after Brendan?

Firstly, let me preface things by saying I'm just playing devils advocate I guess. Hypothetically if we're in a similar position come Christmas/New Year to where we are now and so very, very likely out of the running to secure European football next season, and Top decided to make a change (or Rodgers goes of his own volition), who would you want us to go for?

 

I know when the Arsenal and Spurs rumours were knocking about a while back, we were linked to Rúben Amorim from Sporting, and it feels like we end up signing players who we're consistently linked with over the course of a couple of seasons, so maybe it'd likely be the same with a manager? 

What do people think, and who would people want?

We either need a superstar manager to take us to the next level or the next special one who will take a longer time to build but ultimately will outpace Brendan.

You do realise that...

 

A) he'd be a disaster here - he only goes places with serious serious money and rarely lasts longer than 2 years when the money runs out.

B) hes never coming here

I suppose as well I depends on where we want to be iam a realist and we can’t spend what the big boys spend so in truth we have exceeded expectations over the last few years and our owners have been outstanding for what they have done.Brendan has done really well and won us two trophy’s but I think that it is difficult to maintain success as other teams are improving as well so let’s just see what this season brings we are in know danger of going down but we need to be trueful to ourselves and know where we want to be realistically

I don't mean this disrespectfully but there's absolutely no chance of this.

Can I opt for Rodgers to stay in the job?

 

Even if we're shit this year I'm not gonna change my mind on him given the last two seasons.

c'mon now seriously? Give the man a chance! It's balls to the walls so lets see what he can do. I know Rogers has a habit of wanting to play his style to a fault but he's up against it right now and knows he has to do something. I'm not thinking about the sack give him some rope lets see what he does in the coming weeks. Let him earn his massive salary. I'm sure Top and Susan don't need to remind him about our targets and where we want to be as a club. Struggling in the lower half of the table is certainly not on that list!

It'll take some drop in form and results for him to leave.

He's already created a strong base here for himself, after the FA Cup triumph.

It's funny how there's a general consensus you should never discuss future managers but it's fine to discuss future transfers in and out.

 

If and when Rodgers goes, we don't need a stop gap to steady the ship we need another manager who is better than average and can continue trying to progress this club. We aren't yet as assured in bringing managers in as we perhaps are at building success behind the scenes but maybe I'm being a little unfair. Rodgers has been a hugely successful appointment and you could argue Puel was good for certain things that go unappreciated but he was the pits and Shakespeare on a permanent deal was poor as well. So it's still very much a massive unknown on what the club would do when Rodgers goes. Having to pay him off would be unthinkable and would then likely leave us looking for managers currently out of work, which I could see us turning to Frank Lampard. 

 

I'd like a future manager who is renown for aggressive football and not afraid to build his team with an edge, ideally he'd have a great track record at developing young players too. I've long admired the football Roger Schmidt gets his teams playing, likewise Marco Rose.

 

If we want a piece of work then Gattuso would be box office but there's unfinished business here for Cambiasso, he needs a gig before coming here though IMO.
