Tielemans63 Posted 3 April 2023 Posted 3 April 2023 I'd take Hassenhutl for the 10 games. Think we can now see that he did a decent job with Southampton, as they're a lot worse off without him. Then give it to Potter in the summer to start the rebuild. Not going to happen, obviously, but that would be my preference. If I could choose anyone, Thomas Frank would be the man. 1
Balj Posted 3 April 2023 Posted 3 April 2023 Seems to me we go short term til the end of the season with a massive bonus for keeping us up or a contract to the end of next season with someone who can do a good fist of keeping us up and build in the prem or Championship next year. We are not an attractive proposition to any ambitious manager at the moment so we need to be pragmatic in the appointment - fgs no long term contracts and if we do stay up fgs don't extend the contract!
ScrumpyJack Posted 3 April 2023 Posted 3 April 2023 (edited) Anyone saying Hassenhutl is not allowed to contribute, three Southamptons from in and around the 9-0 squad would be a joke. Also, if we get Lampard or Gerrard I’m staying away from the club. Neither manager has a clue and I’m not putting my money into tickets for their dross. Marsch would be my top pick, think he has the ability to rebuild a squad and get them playing exciting football. He didn’t do great at Leeds but he’s got great pedigree, and walking into that job was incredibly hard given how the club had essentially been rebuilt to suit Bielsa. Also, realistically relegation’s a serious possibility now, if we do sign someone they’d need to be willing to put the hard graft in next season and Marsch will do that.

We are too much of a risk for anyone with a good reputation, until the summer. If a short term manager comes in l, and we stay up, I don't trust the board to see the bigger picture and say thanks for your work but we have someone else in mind. Short term has to be either a coming towards retirement manager or a coach that is happy for a temp role. If there is a clear and obvious improvement tomorrow and Saturday, they might just stick with Stowell and Sadler until the end of the season then try to recruit Potter then. The trouble is, a number of other clubs may also be trying to recruit Potter in the summer... Edited 3 April 2023 by ClaphamFox 1

Bring him in and first game he starts Bertrand and Vestergaard 🤣 1

Imagine ruling out Ralph and then saying Marsch was the ideal choice? That seems completely nonsensical. 4 4

shiv Posted 3 April 2023 Posted 3 April 2023 I think we need to let Stowell & Sadler see things out for the rest of the season. Unless we lose our next two in which case we will have to make a panic appointment. We’ll be a much more attractive prospect in the summer assuming we are able to stay up.

Unfortunately I think you're right. We've left it that late we simply don't know which league we'll be in so the pool of managers will look completely different. Shambles really

Hass couldn’t build a brothel in Amsterdam, we all saw how he did with his tenure at Southampton. I’d rather we went for a manager with potential rather than a Rodgers repeat.

Deeg67 Posted 3 April 2023 Posted 3 April 2023 Absolutely no way Potter coaches in the Championship next season. If he accepts with us it’ll be with an escape clause if we go down.

Stowel the goalkeeping coach does not fill me with any confidence that he can motivate the players. Ward always looks like an unfit pudding who has not been trained properly 2
Ricey Posted 3 April 2023 Posted 3 April 2023 My concern with Potter would be that he would be without Paul Winstanley who was pivotal to him at Brighton as Head of Recruitment. Winstanley has followed him to Chelsea but will no doubt stay there. Potter is working with Chelsea to ease the transition (basically he's going to help Bruno who is the interim manager), so he won't be available until Chelsea appointment a new manager anyway.

The results De Zerbi has got with the same side that Potter toiled with in the previous seasons. 2. The fact that he sees Cucurella as an actual option as a centre back (or even as a starter in any position for Chelsea.) 3. The nagging feeling that he is Rodgers mkII - a manager happy for his team to retain maximum possession without ever looking like they are going to do much with it. 2
