I can't get rid of my doubts over this one. It's just not like us to operate like this, sounding out a new manager and planning him to be in. 

 

Also, there isn't as much noise around then I would be expecting from the media side, which I find odd. 

 

I really want to believe you, @SecretPro and I hope you're right and I'm wrong, but something doesn't feel right to me. In theory the timing of everything seems to fit, but it's Leicester City , it's too convenient 

 

I hope you can understand my doubts, with previous experience of this club and the way it has been ran on the past.

 

I have my fingers crossed.

 

I'm massively in favour of him because I have a knowledgeable Wednesday mate who rates him very highly and thinks he'll eventually end up at an elite level club like Atletico Madrid.

 

Also if you look at his career path.

 

Up to 21yo he was a lower league player in Germany before retiring for whatever reason. He then gets a job as a:

 

2010 - Video analyst for Leipzig youth team 

2011 - Assistant manager Leipzig youth team

2013 - Assistant manager Leipzig U17

2014 - Video analyst for Leipzig first team

2016 - Assistant manager for Leipzig first team

2018 - Assistant manager for Southampton

2019 - Assistant manager for Bayern Munich

2021 - Assistant manager for Germany

2023 - Manager for Sheffield Wednesday

 

Starting out as a failed lower league footballer who retires from playing at 21 and becoming a video analyst for Leipzig school kids and eventually being assistant manager at Bayern and Germany to Sheff Wed manager means he must have excelled at every role he has had. It's like cleaning the offices at Apple at 20 and 15 years later you're the CEO.

 

I'd much rather have someone who has started from the bottom and had to excel to get this far in the game than an ex player walking into his first job because he's a big name like Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard, etc.

Who prior to his Man United stint was very highly thought of. 

And he was told proven right by all his comments from that period

oh great we are getting a manager who has learnt his trade from Ralf Ragnick. 

Please don't tell me this is a sarcastic dig at Rangnick?

[Stadt]

Get Rohl in, Rohl in Rohl in

Pissed off by Chansiri

He's come to manage City, Rohl-time

We looked and there's no better

than Rohl in at Leicester

We'll be up by the spring time

Super football, it's perfection

With a bit of direction

Oh super City are sublime

Just to be pedantic as someone with a German mother... the umlaut over the "o" in his name means it should be pronounced more like "Rurl" than "Roll". Soz to fcuk up the "roll with it" type gags 

like he's from Hull??

Hey Danny Rohl,

Better than rock and roll, 🎶

Lets go, let go, let’s go! 🎶

 

Leicester’s finest 😎

He's not going Brentford to be Assistant Manager, think you are safe!

I mean, Ralf built the Red Bull network from the ground up, he has directly mentored/coached Julian Nagelsmann, Marco Rose, Ralph Hassenhuttl, Domenico Tedesco and others, he has been publicly praised as being one of the most influential people on the transition of German football, and has directly influenced the style of play adopted by Thomas Tuchel, Jurgen Klopp. 
Pep Guardiola has on multiple occasions publicly praised Rangnicks influence on football, Dietrich Mateschitz who brought Ralf into the RB network said he didn't just bring them success, he brought them an entire identity, and they still follow it to this day. 

Some of the best players in the world have come through the network that was defined by Rangnick like Haaland, Upamecano, Musiala, Laimer, Sadio Mane. 

I know RR gets a hard time because of his stint at United, but he's one of the most influential football minds in modern history. In fact, if King Power had any sense we would be paying him in an advisory role or to be DOF. Even if he cost 10m a year he's worth every penny. 

yeah, BUT, other than THAT... what's he ever done???!!

That's a typo, Brentford want Pedersen as their number 2.

And yet the ever reliable Mockery has republished the same story

Does he have any links to Keith Andrews? I think we should be fine, but you never know.

[teblin]

Makes sense to me that it will happen tomorrow onwards, as then any financials will be in new accounts period.

First song will be ....... he left cause you're shit, he left cause your shit, Danny Rohl he left cause you're shit 

 

Great bantz

If it is Rohl, I will have a modicum of optimism for the new season. Much rather him than any of the other names being bandied around.

Haha great shout. How long do you think L1 will be able to resist this for? 30 seconds tops imo

[Saxondale]

My boss is Sheff Wed and reckons Röhl is superb. Reckons he won them about 20 points last season from pure tactical nous alone, with a poor set of players.
