Now Will Still has been snapped up, I’m struggling to get enamoured by anyone realistic. Of the names linked I’d edge towards Rohl, but he’d come with a bit of uncertainty in certain areas. I like what Mousinho has done at Pompey, but doubt we’d go near him. Names abroad, if you want someone that will do a decent job with our youth, then I’d give Carles Martinez at Toulouse the edge, but doubt we’d go near him either. Those out of work, as I’ve said many times in this thread, it’s just such an uninspiring list. Of names that I think are realistic, I’d lean towards Brian Priske, he has shown he can be a winner, albeit in lesser quality leagues. Thought Cleverley and Selles were both harshly sacked, but can’t see our board going near them either. 1

This time round the squad is weaker and they'll be less money to spend. Add to that a possible points deduction too. Will it be weaker though? At present we've lost Vardy. That's massive but other than him right now we're not much different to the side that got promoted. The defence is the same bar Okoli and VK instead of Doyle. The midfield is the same bar KDH for Bilal. Mav and Fatawu were and still are our wingers. Daka got 7 in 20 apps last time and we've got a window to bring players in and get some loans going as well as potentially some exciting youngsters to play. If you factor in Nelson and Souttar and to a lesser degree Alves I'm not sure it'll be weaker really. Time will tell, it's not a cert either way right now. But it's not as though we were an elite squad and now we're poor. It's just poor by Prem standards. Which doesn't matter. The points deduction is the big factor. I agree on that. The not knowing being dragged on can be just as bad as taking the hit as we found out last summer. 5

Lisci is very close to getting the job done with Mirandes which would be a huge achievement, still think he'd be achievable even if they do go up 1

The problem we have is, all the names you have listed would require the clowns who make the decisions at the club to actually show a bit of imagination and that's beyond them. Easy option of a known or big name is their limit. I'll admit Enzo was a bit of an unknown and a surprise, but 9 times out of 10 they will revert to the method above. We all.know until there is a major change at board at least we will never move forward. 2
JimJams Posted 24 May 2025 Posted 24 May 2025 I wonder what's happened to the list of candidates we were looking at when we appointed Enzo. We were looking at that young lad at Arsenal, Carlos Cuesta. I mean, come on, the name's a fxxking clue surely?!

Hopefully the bellend is sacked by Christmas. 1
AjcW Posted 24 May 2025 Posted 24 May 2025 I’ve mentioned him before, but I imagine someone in the championship (a Norwich perhaps) will get Jimmy Thelin and he’ll go on to do very well.

Really hope we at least look abroad. Hasn’t done any harm to Palace, Bournemouth, Brentford and Brighton. This is absolutely it. Top and co are so out of touch. It’s actually unbelievable how incompetent and out of touch. ’We must play like Man City’. This is despite the actual Man City and Pep struggling more and more now this style has been found out. Meanwhile, teams doing well have now adopted alternative ways of playing. ’We must have PL experience’. Meanwhile all the clubs you have mentioned are using data and scouting to recruit not just players but managers from abroad. Clearly Top’s method is solid though. I mean who wants to be an established Premier League team with no PSR troubles anyway? 1

It’s almost insulting to make a comparison. Didn't Ranieri lose to the Faroe Islands as manager of Greece? All i'm saying is give the chap a chance. 1
tomtom Posted 25 May 2025 Posted 25 May 2025 I'd even take Southgate or Carsley.... both would play the youth. Just not Russell Martin please!!!!! 1
SemperEadem Posted 25 May 2025 Posted 25 May 2025 Dreading Martin. Will be like Cooper again with us just wasting time and money. 3
fox_favourite Posted 25 May 2025 Posted 25 May 2025 So looking like Rylan Clarke then. Seems more articles on who he'll bring in as staff and players. No smoke without a unnatural straight beard lines.

Agreed, completely wrong appointment - he might just get us back up but then what? We won't be able to afford to sack him again and no way he'll change his style of play for the PL so we'll just get relegated again and so it goes on.

The not knowing being dragged on can be just as bad as taking the hit as we found out last summer. A far weaker squad easy. We had more assets to sell in Barnes, Maddison etc.. and alot we gave away for free thanks to JR. Given we'd finished 8th the season before we had quality in the squad. We have less desirable players to sell on Mads, bilal will make up the bulk of player sales. I agree we have some green shots in youth so it's critical we get the right manager to blend them into a cohesive unit.

I've heard of Rylan Clarke and I think it would be a brave move to bring him in. I am not sure he would be better than RVN but he puts a lot of work I to his facial hair. I have no idea if Jimmy Thelin is a genuine shout or a Love Island wannabe

Spudulike Posted 25 May 2025 Posted 25 May 2025 So is this Dane coming in as assistant or manager? Some discussion on Owls talk.... https://www.owlstalk.co.uk/forums/topic/339097-henrick-pedersen-off-to-leicester-city/

The choice of manager is key. Last time there was more of a pass from the fans as it was the first relegation, this doesn't wash now. We will need to sell players and replacing them won't be straightforward. This is very different to two years ago.
