Next Manager

Juande Ramos (Tottenham Hotspur)

Banned ketchup, mayonnaise, and joy. Won the League Cup, then turned Spurs into a tactical salad. Players were too hungry to press. Fans missed their chips and their points.

 

Frank Burrows (Caretaker – West Brom)

Looked like he was born in a tracksuit. Briefly in charge, then vanished like a halftime cup of Bovril. May have been a ghost who only appears during transitional periods.

 

Caretaker Kevin MacDonald (Aston Villa)

Villa’s go-to substitute teacher. Took charge during about 14 managerial sackings. Players called him “Kev” and probably asked if he could let them go home early.

 

Claudio Vivas (Assistant to Bielsa at Leeds – but had one Premier League matchday moment)

Stepped in for Bielsa during an interpreter mix-up. Shouted instructions passionately… in Spanish… to a squad that looked like they’d just downloaded Duolingo.

 

 

Jean Tigana (Fulham)

Brought champagne football and… bankruptcy. Built a lovely passing side but spent the budget like a man loose in Harrods during a blackout. Left Fulham with silky memories and unpaid receipts.

 

Paolo Di Canio (Sunderland)

Fascist salutes, knee-slides, and squad purges — all in 12 games. Banned phones, ketchup, ice, sauce, breathing. Football’s answer to a dictator who also moonlighted as a soap opera villain.

 

Alex McLeish (Aston Villa, Birmingham)

Managed both Villa and Birmingham, which is brave… or suicidal. Played defensive football so grim, even the club cat stopped turning up on matchdays.

 

 

Dave Bassett (Sheffield United, Forest, others)

Could we get him back? Old-school 4-4-2 merchant who looked like your uncle yelling at traffic. Believed long balls and “getting stuck in” were the answers to everything — even climate change.

 

 

Stuart Pearce (Man City)

Put David James up front once. Seriously. Looked like he was managing a pub team and treated every match like a cage fight. Tactical plans consisted of: “Hit them harder.”

 

Ruud Gullit (Chelsea, Newcastle)

Looked cool. Played cool. Managed like he’d dropped his tactics in the bath. Fell out with Shearer at Newcastle — a crime punishable by football death in the North East.

 

José Riga (Charlton Athletic)

Had multiple spells at Charlton in between… absolutely nothing. A ghost manager. Like a rebooted Windows update that nobody asked for.

 

Martin Jol (Spurs, Fulham)

Dutch uncle who always looked like he just woke up from a long nap in a leather armchair. Decent tactician, but never smiled unless the post-match buffet included sausages.

 

Andre Villas-Boas (Chelsea, Spurs)

The “mini-Mourinho” who forgot to install the winning part. Obsessed with data, pressing, and brooding like a Portuguese Batman. Out-thought himself into unemployment.

 

 

Slavisa Jokanovic (Fulham)

Promoted Fulham with beautiful football. Then looked completely shocked when Premier League teams refused to be dominated by Stefan Johansen. Sacked after 12 games of tactical yoga.

 

Phil Brown (Hull City)

Famous for giving a halftime team talk… on the pitch. Like a Sunday League dad who couldn’t wait to tell the kids off. Wore a Bluetooth headset for years too late. Possibly still does.

 

David Pleat (Tottenham – interim master)

The OG caretaker king. Whispered softly, wore beige, and ran like he was trying not to wake someone up. Managed Spurs like he was rearranging cutlery.

10/10 for commitment

So not Hassenhuttl.  
Possibly my last mention of him…..well for a while until we start calling for Cifuentes to go.

Chris Wilder, Gary O’Neil and Michael Carrick are understood to have also been spoken to, but Cifuentes has now emerged as the Midlands club’s preferred choice.

Sneaking Carrick into the equation.

 

Theres really no obvious candidate we didn’t consider is there? 
 

if you’re out of work with championship experience you got a call

When I read the headline I thought it was about Leicesters new transfer policy..... 

[Sly]

This feels like it’s dragged on forever.

 

We've had weeks, months even to sort this out.

 

King Power and its Merry Group of Hangers on, couldn’t run a bath. 
 

In fact, they’re that bad, if they ran a lighthouse, ships would run around in the day!

Dare I say that we might have dodged a bullet here? 
 

To position yourself as leaving for months, only to then return a week into pre-season… what’s that about?

One pundit (I can't recall if it was Sky Sports or Talk Sport) thought it was because the Leicester job appeared to be going nowhere, and he wanted to keep getting paid, so he plumped for returning to Wednesday.

Haven’t there been other jobs, like in Germany and The Boro job that he also didn’t get?

He wanted to get paid so he returned to the club that have very publicly not been paying their players/staff…. Hahaha

The club need to stop trolling us with notifications on the app to show interviews with Kasey McAteer and give us what we actually want - a manager!!

Hassenhuttl. 
Last one hopefully for a while.

When I got a survey asking me why I don't use the LCFC app I told them since it comes from the club I was worried it would set my phone on fire.

• Days since it was obvious we were getting relegated - approx 120-140
• Days since officially relegated - 82
• Days since end of the season - 47
• Days since RVN was sacked - 14
