Can I ask why has anyone seriously suggested Viera? Can anyone not see what a horrible job he did at Palace?  

That's stretching it so much, but that's in line with this forum the last few months. He had a horrible ending yes, mostly against sides in the top half. The 18 months before that were decent.

Fun Fact: Neil Lennon had a higher win percentage at Celtic in both of his spells than Brendan Rodgers, shockingly, Lennon also had the higher average possession p/game too.

 

It's still a no.

Surely we’ve at least approached people like Duff, Hassenhutl, Vieira and Van Nistelrooy. Not expecting us to look abroad as we never do.

Well 3 of them are arguably based abroad, one of them definitely

[splinterdream]

Maresca didn't impress.....impress who? Rudkin, Top and Whelan, or Stowell and Sadler? Bet he looked at them asking questions regards tactics and coaching strategies and thinks, i don't need this.

Get Carlos Corberan in. Probably one of the most straightforward decisions ever. Leeds are already lining up an approach while we’re wasting time chasing Potter and preparing to settle for Smith

So far we’ve approached Smith, Shakey and then John Terry. That was before Rudkin realised they were part of the same team and already employed by the club

Just want us to at least look for someone whose done well outside this country.

Absolute bunch of morons running our club. My god what a load of bollocks, 2 weeks of dicking about to end up with Smith who’s already decided he doesn’t really like Souttar, VK and Daka. ****ing genius.

Him then. He’s the one. Get it done. 

Given he is preparing for the champions league final I highly doubt he has been interviewing with us.

We will waste weeks. End up with Smith, miss any targets we might have. Lose the players who could help us in the Championship and continue as normal.

...they probably did not understand a word!!!

We all know how limited they are so far as the game is concerned, everything would have been over their heads. Strange for a club that keeps things close to its chest that someone has details of the interviews carried out.

How have we gone down to the championship and all of a sudden increased in wannabe ITKs.

His ending wasn’t even that bad, from memory it was a couple of defeats and quite a lot of draws from about 10-12 games in which they faced most, if not all, of the super league six. Remember thinking it was a stupid decision at the time looking at the past 10 or so results.

Pack in your sensible post (although I’m sure he had Sunday off) 

[Cropwellfox]

Although I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it’s deliberately not announced until after the renewal deadline on 14th, with a lot of ST holders renewing again just in case they don’t select a pondlife manager. 

[K789]

As if we've interviewed maresca. Cup final last weekend and European Cup this weekend.  As if man city release him for an interview

More like Vardy, with Morgan as his assistant..

Hmmm not sure I believe that non-descript lcfc Twitter fan account.

 

 

I’ll wait til Jeevan confirms or denies 

[splinterdream]

you know, I'm not surprised things are under tight wraps, we're competing against 2 other relegated clubs for a managers signature, so we don't want either of those competing

Not that I believe LMFOX (cool name bro) or that he has any sort of information which he is able to DM. However, training sessions and preps could still fit a meeting/interview in between, if necessary. Pep is the sort of guy to allow someone to make time for that.
