Our Next Manager

[LibertyFox]

Bring back Nige. This team is at the end of its life and will benefit from a more mixed passing/direct from of football.

He’ll keep us up and rebuild/stabilise us to mid table/best of the rest whilst we build the East Stand extension.

We can then push on again for European football again I hope, either with Nige or bringing someone in to take us to the next level.

What does Stowell have to do with Ward being overweight?  

 

Stowell has been with the club since 2007 so clearly has had involvement in our promotion to the PL, the great escape, the title win, the FA Cup win and our challenges for Europe. He’s coached arguably one of our greatest ever goalkeepers and doesn’t have a bad record as caretaker (unbeaten in 8, 5 wins 3 draws). 

Sorry Mike, on behalf of all of foxestalk. We will never question your name again. It is now clear that all the good is down to you, and all the bad was the idiot managers at the time. 

 

I have no concerns with the club in your steady hands and hope you get the gig permanently.

Hang on… isn’t the Parduke available for one last PL swan song?

As much as I love Pearson, he is not a Premier League manager.

More I think about it, I think it will be Hutter. Bit left field like the Puel appointment.

Well that's one way to kill off a positive vibe about Hutter...

Mancini / Pochettino busted? I guess you could have said the same of Ranieri before he came here.

 

 

No comparison at all. Ranieri was appointed after he was sacked by the Greek FA. He inherited a squad with world class potential players. Fuchs, Mahrez, Vardy, Kante, Kasper to name a few. Don't forget that the team which won us the league was building up from Championship and it was one of the best ever teams there with relentless pressing everywhere on the pitch. 

[Sambiasso]

Someone could be named before or after tomorrow nights game, Just a hunch 

Been told club have been moving fast to get someone in before Saturdays game, inital talks held with an interested manager. All being well he'd be attending the game tomorrow night.

For what its worth its not Potter.

So name a good manager/caretaker with no experience of this league that will accept a 3 month contract? If we're looking for someone to do 10 games it's not going to be anybody too exciting 

I'm not saying it should be anyone at all. I'm not even suggesting we go out and find someone else for the 10 games. I am however 100% suggesting going out and getting ****ing chris wilder is beyond comprehension. 

 

My knows the league means nothing comment is regarding hiring a permanent manager. 'Knows the league' is the worst narrative in football. It means nothing. 'Knows the league' is the same unimaginative managerial signings made by teams like Stoke and Blackburn that see them flushed.

Interim or longer term appointment?

[EnderbyFox]

Even tenuous links to Jesse Marsch are making me a bit ill 

[Dahnsouff]

It’s the FSW clearly

[Blanchflower78]

Pretty sure we'll know in next 24 hours. Can't afford to leave any longer.

Why? we ain't gonna defend our way to staying up.

Well other than the fact that we've generally been OK at scoring goals this season and have outscored the bottom half, but we can't leverage our good attacking play into points because we concede too many goals. 

 

We hardly press the midfield, we play 2 slow CBs in a high line and without a sweeper keeper. It's suicidal tactics. Even if we get a coach in who only gets us doing the defensive basics better we'll be in a good place.

Willing to share who? Because if you tell me its someone like rafa beyond 10 games or chris wilder I think ill give up.

Ha sorry. Purl for his faults settled us down and helped build the foundation for Brendan’s success.

 

footbal was terrible and he wasn’t inspiring.

 

I know nothing about hutter just a hunch.

Gonna be unveiled at the game Rodgers style

Statistically speaking the team can still finish 12th. 10 games to go, not 4 or 5, 10! Splash the money for Pochettino. All the other decent candidates are doing well with their current teams, they're not coming even if Top offers a million per day.

I want to believe this is true but when was the last time the club did anything even remotely fast?

I wonder if it's Adi Hutter. His name seemed to be quite tenuously thrown into the mix by Tanner but google suggests he held talks with Palace too - implies to me he's trying to get into this league.
