Chris Powell in NOW as Coach, to work with Kingy, then when his boss comes in as Manager (whenever he can sort out his stuff with the 'looney'), CP to be Assistant.

Yep, great idea. Ticks all the boxes for me.

That team wins the league, irrespective of who’s the manager. 

2, 16 year olds are not winning you the league... 

 

Ricardo will not play 50+ games, Fatawu isnt fit yet and is unknown how he will react and certainly wont manage 50 games. 

 

No striker and a CM who doesnt want to be here.....

 

Yep apart from that you are on to something.

it’s been a business decision to follow the ‘ out of work’ method.  Not paying compensation means spending less money.

Not true when you employ shite though and sack managers after 6 months or so and pay out loads of compo.

"Buy cheap, buy twice."

 

I've not checked this so it's entirely an educated guess but I'm willing to bet we paid more paying out Ruud, Cooper and Puel's contracts than paid in compensation to Celtic for Rodgers? And I'm definitely sure we paid more paying out Rodgers than we did hiring him.

 

It's not an intelligent business decision if it is a business decision. 

 

The bigger problem though is just a massive lack of footballing intelligence that we have as an organisation. There are individuals at LCFC that can spot talent, sure, else we wouldn't end up with Maresca, Fatawu, Hermansen, BEK, etc. But it's not really a collective intelligence.

 

Brighton and Brentford pretty famously lead the way for sporting IQ when it comes to mid-tier clubs of our scale and they're constantly future planning. They're smart enough to know that any manager they have that does well is going to be desired by better clubs yet they're ambitious enough to target them. So they've always got their next manager lined up, Brighton have pulled off some absolute blinders recruiting internationally whilst Brentford have a strong cuture of internal development and replacement. 

 

We don't do any of that. We hire whoever Rudkin and/or Top have heard of, the former having bafflingly little broader knowledge of the wider footballing world for someone that's supposed to be a Director of Football. We cast an absurdly small net for a club that neutral fans used to think was smartly run.

They dont think that far enough ahead. When they employ them they think they will be fine.

Agree in principle, but if your good enough (ability x physically x mentally) then they can play for all i care over the likes of BDCR etc.

 

it does worry me though how much youth we might be relying on.

And we saved how much by paying off Cooper and RVN in the same season we appointed them? Complete false economy.

 

Even if we'd have gone down under Corberan last season, it'd have been a much closer affair and we'd head into this season with a competent manager in place. Instead, we have the worst of all worlds, like usual with Top and Rudkin's decision making.

Mavividi isn't a striker and the midfield pair has the defensive chastity of Lily Phillips - we categorically would not go up with that team

Stop spitting facts.

 

We will continue to buy tools from temu then be baffled why we keep needing to buy them 3 times without going screwfix.

The fact it’s being reported we have actually interviewed Wilder shows we still have absolutely no idea what direction we are going.

 

Chris Wilder/Sean Dyche/Danny Rohl couldn’t be further apart in philosophy. 
 

This is just beyond a joke at this point. 
If we are willing to pay for someone, go with Rohl. If we aren’t, go with Hassenhuttl. 
 

It really is that simple Top. 
Both of those managers will bring a style that fans can get behind, a philosophy that is exciting, and both are proven to play younger players. 
 

If you want to completely destroy any connection you had to the fanbase, go with Wilder. 
Wilder isn’t a bad manager, but he doesn’t suit what we want, and the direction we should be going.

If you're good enough then you absolutely can play and be part of the first team but other than Yamal, I'm struggling to think of any 16 year olds that have played 30+ league games in a season, never mind 40+.

Agree or disagree.. it shows that we are minimum of 2/3 players away CM and ST and 1 other from a Championship winning starting 11 onpaper as it stands right now.

He's also not a particularly likeable guy either, which isn't the be all and end all, but like you say, the connection with the fans would be a problem.

Unless he’s going Dortmund or similar the club will offer him more money and he’ll stay IMO

Out of curiosity who are we overrating (from a championship perspective that is)

 

 page - never seen him.

 

Mavididi is a winger so scrap the striker thought.

 

Okoli? Maybe could be good at championship.

 

thomas - maybe but best of a bad bunch at left back and think he will be good in championship.


so 3 new starters as it stands and we could be cooking.
