Popular Post davieG Posted 28 June 2025 Popular Post Posted 28 June 2025 A big part of our current problems is that we paid over the odds to hang on to Rodgers we should just have told him if you're not happy here on what we're paying you then goodbye. We would then have been in a fantastic position to sign a top rated manager. Managers and players moving on when you're successful and replenishing with fresh faces and hopefully better people should be our strategy. If Dyche comes in and gets us promoted, and it's no more guaranteed then any other manager we can hang on to him in the PL but history tells us we're likely to stagnate under him than progress upwards. So sacking is the most likely scenario and we'd more likely than not be hovering around the bottom of the PL at best, hardly an attraction for the best managers/players. Football progress is always a risk and not something to be scared of. 7

The independent commission will tell them to **** off. We'll appeal if it's more than 6 and then get it reduced.

Dyche is a far better manager than cooper so I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here So you’d rather pick a gaffer who will leave after promotion than someone who’s established in keeping clubs up in the premier league and getting promoted? Weird stance tbh, we can go for gaffers with higher ceilings when we’re an established premier league club again, if we ever get to that stage. We aren’t an attractive club to build something over a few years anymore, the manager you’re describing will get out of dodge the first chance he gets, which ends up with more panic appointments like cooper I want the best manager and players we can get and if they leave after a year then take the money and rinse and repeat if possible. Given the choice for a CM would you rather have: a) peak Kante? b) peak Choudhury? I thought that question would be a no brainer but it seems not as some value the longevity of mediocrity over the short bright light of world class. All footballers want to end up at Real Madrid, etc. The only thing that makes them stay loyal is their lack of better options. 6

It’s not a case of settling for mediocrity it’s a case of a candidate which levels are above where we currently are but is predefined that it won’t completely derail our future by leaving at the end of the season. Bright exciting future relies purely on being a premier league club, hate to break it to you but an academy is only useful at the top level. There’s no point producing the likes of monga if they’ll be poached at the first opportunity because we lag behind and become a mid table championship side. Weird comparisons as a lot of them are different completely, are you making a style of play argument or what? What I am saying is if we organise ourselves correctly and have the right structure and culture in place, where you look 1, 2 maybe even 3 appointments ahead you will have a plan a, b and c in place to ensure each time a manager is poached we are in a position to replace them with a manager who can come in and continue the progression, we did it so well with Little, McGhee and then O’Neill, Brighton do it so well now in the current era, however let’s be honest ever since KP came in they never seem to have a managerial strategy it’s so scattergun and reactive. Dyche is not a progressive option, it’s a stale, unimaginative choice and shows zero strategy or alignment to our current squad or the number of talented youngsters coming through the academy, for me it has to be Rohl but then we should be looking at managers like Wellens, Cleverley etc with an eye to the future if and when Rohl moves on. 3

AjcW Posted 28 June 2025 Posted 28 June 2025 Do like how convenient this has all been. Assume us and Sheff Weds are controlled by the same ultimate leader…. Just have to hope we’re not asset stripped in the same way.

st albans fox Posted 28 June 2025 Posted 28 June 2025 If it does turn out to be rohl then that shows the board speak to sky more than they speak to the fanbase!
davieG Posted 28 June 2025 Posted 28 June 2025 Surely if it was Dyche he'd be here now with a contract starting on the 1st July. 4

You'd think so wouldn't you but then this is LCFC we're talking about under Aiyawat and Rudkins inspired leadership. Nothing should surprise us!

Mickyblueeyes Posted 28 June 2025 Posted 28 June 2025 Ok, without jinxing it. He is a manager which excites me. Probably more than anything else connected with our club for about 4 years. If it is him, there is something about him I can get behind. Had little excitement over Enzo simply because I was so angry, frustrated, annoyed etc. following the disastrous relegation but I suspect I would’ve been excited had it been in different circumstances He seems like a builder. Someone you can get behind. His background is impressive. Ready for a big job and that’s what we are at this level. Powell potentially coming back is also a good sign. It’s been so long, I’m going to enjoy the feeling. Well at least until we hire Wilder instead. 3
