Next Manager

[AjcW]

So Robbie Keane has won the league with a Hungarian side who have won the league 7 years in a row and an Isreali side that have either won the league or been runners up 11 out of the last 13 seasons (the other 2 they finished 3rd...)

 

He took over Ferenc mid season, 16 league games, 10 wins, 4 draws, 2 losses 

Before he took over 17 league games, 10 wins, 5 draws, 2 losses.

 

Nice bloke and all that but not sure that's quite the CV we need at this point in time.

It's 3rd June. We could be waiting for a few weeks yet before anything happens.

 

 

Agreed 1st July Ruud sacked.

 

August 30th still no clue who's coming in

Lots of people winding each other up with speculation here, which is inevitable in the absence of any real news. However, it's probably equally likely that the club are actually engaging with a number of candidates, some that are in posts and some not, and that will necessitate treading very carefully. It's also likely that the club are aware that this is a critical decision and are being diligent in their assessments of candidates.

Another manager thats done an incredible job with youth players is Mark Harrison at Aston Villa. Never heard of him? Me neither but noticed since he became their academy in 2019, they went from a quiet period to producing the likes of Jacob Ramsey, Cameron Archer, Callum O'Hare, Louis Barry. Won the double last year in the a academy league. 

 

With the amount youngster's likely coming through with the Foxes perhaps Harrison is a good manager to help through transition of course a huge gamble... but could surely be no worse than Ruud.

 

Notably his academy side knocked out two EFL sides out of the EFL Trophy.

I love that the benchmark is now “he can’t be worse than Ruud”. Give it to Walsheh

Hmmm, not the best Idea, As we said "he can't be worse than Cooper". I mean they were both pants but it did seem to get worse.

Let’s give it back to Cooper as he can’t be worse than RVN.

Keeping Ruud would be the ultimate statement of “cba”. 
 

The least inspirational manager we’ve ever had. Inspires zero passion or creativity. Looks completely unbothered when we get slapped every week.

 

Just looks desperate to be cut loose.

We've had incredible to very good experiences with the two Italian coaches we've had. It's also been reported that Davide was key to his father's tactics. 

 

Couple of good articles here, feels like he could be similar to Maresca in his dedication and preparation but more flexible in playing style:

So you think that Martin for free was our first choice but now that's fallen through, we will spunk 5m on Rohl? It'll be Dyche, O'Neil, Cleverly or Gerard.

The compensation for Rohl will be 2-3m for a championship club which we will be officially on paper by this Friday.

Davide is going to FC Basel?

He’d get eaten alive IMO. Maresca had to deal

with huge characters.

Vardy was probably the last of them. Can't imagine that Top or anyone else is going to seriously consider the opinions of any of the current squad which means the manager has a lot more control.

When I mentioned Maresca, I meant at Man City in relation to the post saying they wanted Cleverly.

@kingfox Bo Svensson keeps coming up when I search with AI for potential managerial candidates. Would he be a good shout in your view?

Have a sneaky feeling he’ll come here because we were supposedly interested last summer. 
 

Even if he doesn’t, he’ll surely be on the shortlist now.

Give over with your sensible comments 

[Spudulike]

If it's even remotely true the club are monitoring socials then perhaps it's worthwhile getting the Foxestalk preference set in stone. Wasn't there a poll set up at one time? Worth having an updated one (even to include RvN remaining in post)?
