I think we will go for a manger with experience in the premier league, cannot afford a gamble, when we need to stay up in the premier league.

He'd do well over the Christmas period I suppose.

It seems logical to me that the new manager comes without the requirement of compensation but Carlos Corberan would be a sensible choice.

 

Plenty to like about him but he also comes with a few question marks (most managers will)

 

Johnny Heitinga ticks all the boxes of:

 

• cheap

• wasserman client

• possession football

• track record of developing young talent

Gotta disagree there. Much rather see us scrape survival playing dour football than get relegated after a season of 4-3 losses. 

Managed it with Pearson staying up playing entertaining football...

There's no chance we get Potter is there?

I really like the idea of Heitinga. The mess he walked into at Ajax and the stabilising job he did was superb.

Ah right, the implication seemed to be only somebody who had managed in the Premier League. Which obviously comes across as complete bullshit so couldn't have been what you meant.

No. 

 

Looking at the names linked Potters in there due to us approaching him twice. 

 

We like Corberan. It wouldn't surprise me.

If he stays and Enzo leaves, I think they will definitely finish above us.

 

I'd be curious to know if a manager leaving a newly promoted side before the next season has ever worked out well.

I would like Corberan but will cost compo

though which I’d have thought we’d be trying to avoid getting a Manager that required it.

Might as well. Has this one been mentioned?

Somebody already posted it didn't they? It's happened twice. One stayed up, the other went down.

Amazing what can happen with a board and manager liking and trusting each other, and with open communication...

I’d rather have Rooney than that clueless gimp!

Might be a dumb question (sure it is, but I like in hope) but can compensation for a manager be liable to amortisation?

Pearson football was definitely not entertaining

Not quite the same, but I think we’ll be the favourites to go down come the start of the season.

A new manager in for a favourite to go down?

I originally mentioned Heitinga as a joke. 
 

But after delving into what he produced at Ajax, actually appointing him would make a lot of sense. 
 

If we want a smooth transition, with a manager who plays similarly to what we’ve had with Maresca, Heitinga could actually be that guy. 
 

He often used inverted full backs or inverted a centre back to move into midfield, exactly like Maresca experimented with against Blackburn with using Choudhury. 
 

Also plays a 4-3-3 formation, with two 8’s that basically push up as two 10’s. 
 

But if it isn’t to be Heitinga, first and foremost our new manager must be someone who plays with wingers, or you might as well kiss goodbye to signing Fatawu on a permanent.

Give Moyes that foundation and he keeps us up IMO. 

Players I'd look at that could be cheap/free/loan if it was my football manager save.
RB Coufal (Free) 
RB Ben Johnson (Free) If we didn't go for Coufal
CB Maxence Lacroix (£20-25m)
CB Soyuncu (Loan)
CB Clement Lenglet (Loan)
CAM Giovanni Reyna (Loan)
CAM De Ketelaere (Loan) 
CAM Oliver Gloukh (Priority) (£20m)
CAM Fabio Carvalho (Loan)
CM Nicolo Rovella (Loan)
LW/RW Ryan Sessegnon (free)

Not sure what colour those glasses are but they definitely need checking. He was entertaining though.

Fair play to Ipswich. They are doing a great job of running that club recently. 

Little bit early for McKenna to United, so it makes sense. 

I imagine Potter is going back to Brighton too. 

Just us then with no date for the Prom!
