Im really unsure whether  Danny Rohl is the answer. It smacks of another young ambitious manager whose sole aim in football is to manage in the Champions league aka the situation we had with Enzo.

A one season wonder who does really well with us and then clears off at a drop of a hat. 

 

So you’re saying you wouldn’t want a manager that’s good enough to manage one of the top 7 and also brought in £10m compensation?

 

I find these type of comments odd, if he gets poached it means he’s done an amazing job with us. This is the type of manager we should be consistently going for.

I doubt he's looking at us thinking we're in a much better situation with potential psr penalties like points deductions, player embargo and rumoured major financial difficulties and an owner who has essentially been suffering from a mental breakdown over the last 3 years.

What, in comparison to an owner who doesn’t pay his players? For ****s sake things are a bit ropey here, but they are not as bad as you’re making out.

Seems a bit weird to leave a club to join another club that will probably sack you at the end of the season even if you get promoted

We clearly wouldn’t be ok.

Which wouldn’t really be an issue if we had a contingency plan and strategy such as the likes of Brighton. We’d get money for him and use that to bring the next guy. It’s only an issue as we’d probably bounce back to another Steve Cooper or Dyche!

I'd rather sign a manager or player for that matter who ends up at an elite level club at his peak than someone who peaks at Leicester in the Championship.

 

Everyone wants to better themselves in any field if they have the potential to do so, I'd rather have a player or manager who was brilliant here for one season like Kante than a Hamza Choudhury type who is okay but not got the ability to move on to better things.

Or the actual Steve Cooper!

I couldn't agree more, We NEED to sign players who see themselves at Man City in a couple of years. I don't see how anyone can argue that we didn't benefit from Kante, Mahrez, or Fofana. We get their ability while they're here, and a fee when they move.

thats why the Cooper and then Dyche seem so odd

as its frankly going from the strategy of what the club had done with previous managers

why if dyche is appointed it just shows the club has a scattergun approach

I said it somewhere anyway, so what if Rohl came, did really well and got poached. With Dyche, there is only one way it ended and that is sacked. He won’t get poached and managers don’t tend to leave at the end of a contract.

 

Yes he would be free in terms of incoming compensation but he would be on higher wages and at some point, have to be paid off. I’m not saying it would be really soon, just that it is the ultimate end game of his tenure if he came.

 

With Rohl, yes you have to buy him out (might be better news on that with what is going on at Wednesday) but his wages would be less and there is as much chance he makes us money (like Maresca) as there is we end up paying him off.

 

Cifuentes is another interesting option that is now free but could have the perks of Rohl in wages and likely success.

1.38 PPG at Wednesday which normally has you around 8th or so. He took over a side that looked almost certain to be relegated. It's definitely flattened out a little but that's seriously impressive in tough circumstances with a really poor squad.

 

Sometimes it's just a very obvious move. Demonstrable ability of punching above his weight, young, available and would come to us. It's a complete open goal for us here.

Their home form really let them down. Was awful.

Their home form was poor but their away form, for their level of squad is exceptional. He's one of those who has undoubtedly overperformed and it's been a long time since we got somebody in who you can say had done that as manager. Feels such an obvious thing to look for and I never really feel like we do.

Not acceptable from Rohls perspective, but with the news over the last few weeks that some people have been paid last months wages at Wednesday and others have not, let's hope Danny is part of that group. AFAIK if he doesn't get paid at the end of the week, he will be free to hand in his notice. 
Something tells me that Chansiri has probably paid him just so he can't leave, he would be utterly stupid to lose millions for the sake of not paying him 10's thousands.

I fully expect Rohl has been drip fed some money so that he can't walk away without compensation but here is to hoping. 

I just have a funny feeling we are going to go for a freebie.

Probably the best manager in our history came from League 2 and built the club into a premier league force over a number of years stayed the distance and never wanted to jump ship at the first opportunity. Let's face it we need a long term strategy and a long term appointment.

I think a few on here seem to either downplay how utterly horrendous Sheff Wed are or go over the top with how bad we are. We are a million miles ahead of clubs like Sheff Wed, regardless of how poorly we've been run recently. Aside from their owner being one of the worst in English football, their facilties, training ground, squad, academy, finances, literally everything are so far behind us it's untrue. Rohl taking a training session at Sheff Wed and then taking a training session with us would be like somebody jumping from a pub team to a team in league 2 (in terms of facilties not the standard of players). They really are an absolute shambles Sheff Wed and I know this as a good mate of mines nephew was in their academy.

Assuming he'd go by Danny Cöb down here.

Points taken off for the blatant copy and paste job given away by the font.
