Why? A lot thought that when Ranieri took over from Pearson. I don’t think we should abandon hope if Enzo goes.

Swarles Barkley Posted 8 May 2024 Posted 8 May 2024 If Enzo stays wouldn’t be surprised if we see Rudkin/Whelan leave. Flip side, as someone pointed out, its going to be a depressing summer on the transfer front if he does leave
Corky Posted 8 May 2024 Posted 8 May 2024 You can forget your ideal manager, the owners want a brand of football. Until they go it won't change. I hope he stays as he seems to support and back the players and they generally seem comfortable with the style of play. We shouldn't have as many teams sitting back so more space should be available. Next season will be very hard whoever is in charge. 3
Ric Flair Posted 8 May 2024 Posted 8 May 2024 If he went then I think we should look at a pragmatist like Carlos Corberan (if West Brom) don't come up. Done well at Huddersfield and West Brom with minimal funds and at times in turmoil. 3

What I mean is, if he stays then the meeting has gone and he believes he'll have the transfer funds to strengthen the squad. If he's off then we've definitely got to no money to work with.

Next season will be very hard whoever is in charge. I think his style of football will be better suited to the Premier League and being considered underdogs in most games. Teams will likely come at us and not sit back, which at times has been so hard to break down for us this season. We undoubtedly need an upgrade in players though, especially in defence.
Clever Fox Posted 8 May 2024 Posted 8 May 2024 If he were to go would we get something like 10 million Compensation. Which would obviously he'll balance the books a bit better.

He is a bit of a Southgate 2.0 isn't he? The FA will love that. I half wonder if he hasn't taken a job elsewhere yet because this one's his soon enough. Just my theory! 1

Do you think that English as his second language means he’s not able to give the nuanced answers a native speaker would though? I’m sure that sometimes his reply is constrained by the breadth of his vocabulary (and don’t get me wrong his English is brilliant, I’m not being critical, just seeking to understand) Maybe, might be cultural differences, but you do get the feeling across multiple interviews etc that he's not particularly introspective when it comes to his own performance as a manager.

You’re forgetting he has to have the year off so he can do the summer podcast/euro broadcast tour talking about his time learning from the best coaches across Europe…. 1
Phenom Posted 9 May 2024 Posted 9 May 2024 What about Thomas Franke? Seems like his time at Brentford could end soon? Also, shouting out Matias Almeyda again.
coolhandfox Posted 9 May 2024 Posted 9 May 2024 (edited) If this quote from the Mercury is accurate I expect he will be here as long as with give money to spend. “I don’t care about this (selling players for financial reasons). If we lose important players, it’s important that we bring in important players. It’s not a problem if we need to sell players to solve any problems. But it’s important that we can then bring players in. Sounds like his well aware we may need to sell KDH. I imagine we are scrambling around trying to sell the likes of Daka, Iversen, Soumare, Kristiansen, Thomas and maybe Justin before we cash in on KDH. Edited 9 May 2024 by coolhandfox 1
teblin Posted 9 May 2024 Posted 9 May 2024 My take is I don't really want him to go, I think what he did this season has been a bit underated, despite some frustrating games. However if he is to leave, lets get it sorted over the next week or so, so we can plan without him. @Ric Flair Take on Coberan is spot on, think he's a good manager/coach and think he would do well with us.

If he is realistic about our financial constraints and mainly want changes to the support set-up and personnel around the squad, I think he’ll get his way and will stay. It doesn’t sound like he wants to leave. 2

Find it very hard to believe. More chance of us finding £80m + to give Enzo on transfers this summer. 1

Do not see any loss of face for anyone in moving Rudkin sideways and getting a proper DoF in, but who knows. Regrettably feels like the more money (and retaining Rudkin in his DoF) is most likely, which would be a shame, as that feels like kicking the can down the road and repeating an issue of handing an uncomfortable amount of power to the manager. But who knows, this club does surprise on occasion.

But who knows, this club does surprise on occasion. The only thing they could do is create a " Sporting Director " role which is basically what any dynamic DOF would do and they sit under Rudkin but are responsible for doing the stuff that's required to get the playing side of the club ticking with the manager. If that is enough to save face and get us back on track then do it already. The issue will be how compatible that role will be with Rudkin and the board. 1
