Manager for the Championship rebuild - who do you want?

[Foxxed]

Jon Rudkin choosing the manager is a like a murderer choosing the murder investigator.

The fact we’ve not tweeted in 6 days and the last post was the statement from Top, must surely mean the next tweet they put out is some kind of announcement.. surely.. right?

Could just mean they're sulking like the Forest account when they failed to make the play offs a few years ago

Hughton? Lol. He’s absolutely finished, look at the state of forest when he left. 

Probably why he's not been hired by anybody here since! 

[LFox99]

Van Nistelrooy

but we're probably too shit now for him to consider us

That's the reason why I wouldn't want him anywhere near us but it really is crazy what one job can do for someone's reputation. I remember seeing Forest appoint Hughton and thinking that he may be the man to eventually get them up.

Lampard has shown that he isn't good enough to be a premier league manager currently, yes. But what about his time at Derby, in the championship, the league we are now in? 

He also had good cup runs, in both the FA cup and carabao whilst at derby.

Cambiasso has made a few nice posts about leicester on instagram though, so certainly more qualified 

A few Derby fans might contend that with what he'd got that particular year, he should have done better. Compare how he did compared to Rooney and who he had and also had to contend with, despite relegation, I know which one I'd sooner have in the Championship!

 

Cambiasso has more gravitas and almost an aura around him. Lampard and Gerrard were undoubtedly quality players, both of whom I used to enjoy watching but, neither for me personally,  as players, come close to one of the most decorated players in the game. My only doubt about Cambiasso would be whether he'd be able to force his demanding standards upon some of today's flakey young players. Sometimes some such managers expect others to be as good and committed as they were.

 

As for your comment about Cambiasso's being less qualified, you must surely know that the Championship and even the Premiership has been littered with successful managers who had never previously experienced our leagues as player or manager. Pep, Klopp and Frank aren't too shabby.

Probably the most comparable to Kompany in terms of status and current position. Legendary player who managed a big club in a "lesser" league before moving to a newly relegated team. 

[Spudulike]

Not heard much talk about Nuno. Quick search shows him managing in Saudi. Has to be better than some of the other potential candidates and knows the league. Worth a shout? 

[GingerrrFox]

There’s a rumour doing the rounds that Potter has to forfeit a chunk of his Chelsea compensation if he takes another Premier League job this season. Could be why he’s considering dropping down to us?

Probably still upset that Vardy broke his record.

Not for me. He got out of the Championship with a team that was way too good for the Championship and with that weird agent/club deal they had that brought Moutinho/Neves etc over to the club.

 

We need someone who can mould the squad and impose themselves on the team to play how they want them to. First season down we're a big fish in a small pond but only for a year until we're just one of the other big boys down there again.

Just been mulling over Cambiasso coming in and I've got the dream team.

He played under Paulo Bento at Olympiakos. He's available, they come in as a pair, either Esteban as his number 2 or vice versa.

[Gravel]

I think a few potential managers, including Potter are keen their options open with what's going on at Celtic. Don't think we'll appoint anyone until that's sorted.

 

Unless we put both feet in and sign Stevie G of course ☹️

A Celtic fan told me yesterday they’re considering getting Rodgers back if their manager leaves.

Absolutely not Nuno thank you

Esteban doesn’t get on with Claudio. It’s one of the main reasons he didn’t extend his stay. A few years ago he was very critical of Claudio and I think even said he was one of the worst managers he played under. So I doubt that would happen.

Better than reaching the play off finals and beating a couple of premier league teams in good cup runs? I don't think you will find a single derby supporter who wasn't happy with the way that season went.

Doesn't really matter how good of a player Cambiasso was, his only managerial experience is as an assistant manager at Colombia. If he hadn't played for us and he was actually rumoured to be coming here, the entire fanbase would be in uproar.

If we have to suffer 5-3-2 Nuno narcolepsyball then i'm supporting Anstey Nomads.

Can we get Rooney?

As much as I appreciate you checking in with me, I have just as little say in that as the rest of the posters 🤷‍♂️

I might be completely off the mark here.. but was reading the other day that there is a delay in Russell Martin joining/being announced by Southampton as there is a clause in his contract which would mean Southampton would have to pay more money for his services if they were a Premier League club rather than a Championship club. So they are waiting until the date where they are officially classed as a Championship club (not sure when this could be?) to save considerable £ 

 

Could we have already agreed with Potter that he will become our manager? But there is something similar which means he gets more money/we pay less if we wait until we are officially classed as a championship club? 
 

I could be miles off… but just a thought 

[john ridley]

Would of thought we're  officially a championship  club end of June?when contracts  run out ,could be wrong though.
