Next Manager

Why all these dull young guys with their turtle-necks and white-soled shoes. I want the chain-smoking bank manager, Maurizio Sarri or a guy who sits on a bucket, Marcelo Bielsa, currently wasted as Uruguay national manager. These are proper managers, not some biege, 30-something vegan, who uses moisturiser.

Its funny really as the teams for these guys have about as much identity as them!

 

Pathetic, weak soggy lettuces.

 

At least we can tap it round between the centre backs at 3-0 down.

 

Id rather a few angry thugs who smash Fernandes and break his legs with anger before he gets a chance to shoot for that 3rd goal.

Would anyone take a gamble on Will Still, not at present as would be unfair to start him of now. But in the summer.

He wouldn't leave RC Lens to join our shitshow, he's on a upward trajectory him and Liam Rosenior at Strasbourg.

Exactly. If the whole thing becomes so passive, what is the point? Football should be like life and a reflection of life, so how does one want to live one's life? With no excitement, thrills, love, risk? Surely not.

Liam Rosenior would be interesting choice. 

 

My fear with these owners we end with Phillippe Clement, who was shocking at Rangers. Just horrible feeling he's type of person Top and Rudkin would consider.

We need Dyche. Knows the leagues, doesn’t jump ship first time of asking and he’d sort this mess out. I understand he’s not everyone’s first choice but get this wrong again and we’ll be out the prem for a good while.

Don't think they have heard of Phillippe Clement, it will most likely be the likes of Russell Martin, Rob Edwards etc.

We need Dyche like we need a hole in the head. Appointing him would provide a near-enough guarantee that we'd 'get it wrong again'.

Plus he is a no nonsense positive sort of fella that tells things as they are. Can't think of anyone more suited to sort out the mess this club is in.

I think we are all up to speed with the Top and Rudkin managerial recruitment process now.

 

1. Sack current manager

2. Do nothing for a few days

3. Realise a match is happening soon, pick whoever is left from coaching staff as caretaker

4. Have a few meetings where it is agreed that we should start a process to think about who the new manager should be

5. A few weeks pass, caretakers lose several games

6. Realise that neither Top or Rudkin know anything about any prospective managers. Phone the 1 or 2 agents they know to see if they have a manager on the books

7. See if Graham Potter still has their number blocked in his phone.

8. Sift through CVs that arrived in the post. What's a Jesse Marsh?

9. Appoint some horrific agent suggested desperation choice, 3-4 weeks after previous incumbent sacked.

10. Set up email rules for new managers address - send all emails featuring words "transfer", "window" and "budget" to deleted items.

11. Resume nap/holiday/polo season.

I didn't think theyd know Enzo... well dont think many of us did somehow they got it. 

 

Gerrard i think will apply....avoid 🤢

I’ve never been more convinced that if we do sack him (we won’t, even after this season) that we will 100% end up with Russell Martin. 

[Leicesterpool]

Martin is vastly overated. Im hoping a championship club gets him first. 

 

Gary O'Neill i'm not sure, perhaps hed be decent in the championship.

Regarding the rumour that Rohl has "agreed" to join Southampton in the summer, I think this rumour has sprung up because of the media speculation that Southampton wanted him when they sacked Martin, but this doesn't make sense to me.

If we sacked Ruud today and triggered the buyout clause for Danny Rohl, that would force this rumour to be addressed since if there is a secret deal with Southampton to join in the summer that would become a massive media storm. 
If there isn't a secret deal in place already agreed, us sacking Ruud (because we simply have to) and triggering Rohls clause, that would force Southampton to do the same to stop us getting him, and if they really wanted him enough to sign a secret deal, why bother giving an 18 month deal to Ivan Juric? 

If Southampton believed Rohl was the long term option, they could have easily paid his 5m buyout when they sacked Martin, when you consider the amount Southampton will be paying Juric in wages, agent fees, sign on fee, plus the break option to part ways they have allegedly agreed, why didn't they just pay for Rohl? 

I can understand why this secret deal rumour exists, but financially, and from a stability pov, it just makes no sense for Southampton to have gone for Juric, then hand Rohl a championship squad in summer, when they could have handed him a premier league squad with half of the season to play. 

Part ways with Ruud, pay the £5m BEFORE we end up in a new financial year in the championship, give him a few months with a completely free hit so he can properly assess the squad and put transfer targets in place early, or at the very minimum, force Southampton to either publicly announce the deal with Rohl in the summer, and we end up giving the coaches a caretaker role until the summer where I can't see us getting any worse anyway.

We're past the point of getting Dyche. He's not an idiot and therefore wouldn't work for King Power.

Cooper was a poor appointment but there was  at least some logic in it - he did succeed in keeping Forest up and his stock was stock was still high when he left. Martin was taking Southampton back down in spectacular fashion and has shredded his reputation with his ludicrous obstinacy over tactics, etc. The two situations are not comparable. 
 

Besides, if your logic is that the club will appoint Martin because it appointed Cooper, you’re assuming that the board will have learned nothing at all from this season’s farce. While I understand why people might be this cynical, I respectfully disagree. This relegation will inflict further damage on the KP brand and they will want to make sure it doesn’t happen again. They won’t appoint Martin.

We said this 2 years ago, then they appointed Cooper and RVN.

Because he works with better players, his style would come across more next year as one of the stronger squads in the league. If you're offering him or Dyche in the second tier...it's a clear choice for me all day. As I already said, people were bored under Enzo who we won and scored loads under. Wouldn't take long at all for people to turn on Dyche when we're putting glass eyes to sleep.

 

Ideally we somehow find another candidate that is exciting and works, so we get the best of losing Ruud but still playing attractive footy.

Christ, the owner and the board need to go, but RVN is a truly dreadful manager. 13 losses in 14 games is mental and people are still saying give him next season? We are finished.

This is literally why we never get anyone decent, we only get crap managers or inexperienced ones with not much choice, who need to get their name out there with a tenure here.

Reading comprehension or what fella?

 

"Ideally we somehow find another candidate that is exciting and works, so we get the best of losing Ruud but still playing attractive footy."

 

Someone mentioned Dyche and I said if it was Ruud or Dyche for a championship season of no quality, I know who I'd rather. Not explaining it again. Read it, accept it.

To be fair I quoted you but wasn't just talking about you, so apologies if it came across that way. I've seen a few state that we should stick with Ruud if we can only attract Dyche etc. These are the same people who said we shouldn't bother going for Moyes, Nuno, Corberan etc.

 

Ruud cannot be allowed to manage here next season, he's arguably the worst PL manager I've ever seen.

[Dan]

I firmly believe they will do worse than Sean Dyche. So I'd be almost relieved if it was him.

Look at Leeds for example, Daniel Farke had been tainted by Premier League failures with Norwich, yet they still appointed him probably because of his promotion history. Same with Parker at Burnley this season tbf. 
 

We’ll find ourselves in the exact same boat should we get rid of RVN. 
 

Going down the route of a manager with promotion history is of course an option. 
 

Like it or not mate, Russell Martin fits the bill and plays the exact brand of football that this board seems to like. 
 

If we didn’t have a history of appointing possession based managers, then Russell Martin would be nowhere near my thinking. 
 

But we do, and that’s why I’m fearful. 

I worry the disaster of RvN will scare them that an up and coming managet is not the way to go next and we need a safe pair of hands.

 

The reality is that whoever it is, there's a much bigger overhaul needed and without it I'm no longer able or willing to get behind it. 

 

I need to see drastic and sustained change, otherwise that's me done until Top sells up.

Weird - I can’t see many saying that. I’ll have to look closer…
