Next Manager

This is exactly the kind of thinking that led to Cooper being appointed.

The main thing is that a manager/head coach is in place for Pre-season, I know the Premier League winning season we didn't, but we had Shakey and Steve Walsh about then.

 

Then we are starting as we mean to go on tactically and fitness wise.

I think the two things can be true, Cooper never should have been appointed, but we also shouldn’t leave it late to appoint a manager.
 

The amount of squad turnover this team needs is vast, we know at this club signings are manager led. We need one in to begin.  
 

Last time we got our key business done early under Enzo, and started the season on fire. Leeds got theirs done late that year, had a slow start and that ultimately cost them promotion. 
 

We have to get someone in asap, we’re simply wasting time. Of course it has to be the right man. We got it wrong with Cooper, he was a panic as we didn’t expect Enzo to leave. But we can’t say this club haven’t had time to find their man, it’s been 7 weeks since we’ve known our fate.

Our ownership are dogshite, the sooner these charlatans leave the better, maybe no news is indicative the club is being sold?

Just very poor management.

The squad was in a fantastic place that year off the back of an amazing end to the season, we were riding a wave. Famously Claudio didn’t change much.

 

It’s in dire straights now. So much more work is needed now on the squad than it was then. It’s a much much harder job to come into.

If our preferred candidate is currently out of contract, of course we should get him in as soon as possible. All I'm saying is that IF our top candidate is currently with a club and we can't afford to pay the compensation until July, I'd prefer we do that than appoint somebody inferior simply because they're available now and for free.

Heskey talking about Rosenior joining us?  not a chance!

 

Europa Conference League manager sent 'blown away' message amid Ruud van Nistelrooy uncertainty - Leicestershire Live

 

"Leicester have got one of the best training facilities in the country," Heskey told Football League World.

 

"They have a fantastic stadium and good support, which are three things that are essential to them, so when Leicester come in, it will turn people’s heads.

 

"Whether it’s the right thing for Liam right now, I don’t know.

 

"But if Leicester comes in, then he will have to sit down, talk to them, and I’m sure he’ll be blown away by some of the stuff they have, but then it’s about whether everything fits that he wants."

Why would he want too ?

Julian Stephan is interesting QPR I am sure he has appeared on a few shortlists on here

Imagine sacking him now. Now that would be an absolute shit show as it would mean they have taken like months after relegation was confirmed to make the decision. I can’t see it happening now. 

Have you not read any of the hundreds of posts discussing how we may pay less in compensation to both RvN and to the club we get a manger from if we wait until we are officially relegated?

Theres about 122 pages of it. 😏

I’d be amazed if he dropped that far down, but would be a hell of an appointment for QPR

Would it not make more sense to sack him now and just sell someone in this period to offset it that may go for a couple million more in a month to let our manager have time to work out the squad and what he wants before pre season. Have a lot of players who will probably leave, one of- Soumare, Ndidi, Coady, Winks(?), Choudhury, VK, Reid could all contribute

Assuming another club wants the players and the players agree to move

I wouldn’t read into it too much, it just means the owner is playing polo.

Should say again, it took about 18 days to decide on Smith/Enzo in 2023 and Shakespeare in 2017; Lets see what next week brings with regards to news?

Big Ange incoming?

Maybe at the services if he goes up the M1, but he won't be managing us.

If we were an ambitious non basket case club, we would go for him.

The only thing I’d say to that is that the timescales in this instance are significantly different. Smith hired after 18 days (haven’t checked so relying on your calculations) after the event re Brendan sacking. Enzo hired 18 days after the event being relegation. This time, the “event” was many weeks before - we were relegated ages ago, we are well past that timescale.

It’s pretty much impossible, but Leicester should be 100% putting their hat in the ring for Ange. You just never know what people might do. 
 

It’s not going to happen but it doesn’t hurt to try.

Postecoglu loves a second season trophy, he can have one in his first if he puts his mind to it:

No sorry, you've misunderstood my badly phrased post. The 18 days was the decision to hire Enzo and not hire smith permanently, after relegation. Both instances refer to the wait of around 18 days after relegation to make a decision.

Ah, ok. Fair. Yes so on that instance, they are on track.

There’s more chance of me shagging Sydney Sweeney than Ange coming to us.
