That is probably based on Rangers rumours for Martin and Dorsetts tweet about Rohl. They know Rosenior has recently signed a new contract (I think) so his odd will be higher. 

 

I wouldn't read too much into that. Bookies are guessing as well. 

 

Rohl hasn't got a picture?! He's been in the championship 1 and half seasons. That's lazy from that website! Must be ran by our media team

I do get your point, and I agree 

 

From what has been released, it feels to me that Rohl is pushing for a move for Germany more than staying in the championship.

 

 

I think he'll be the right person taking us forward. His football is more on the modern mould away from passing, pass, pass, pass (and so on). It seems more effective and something I can get behind. 

The factor of him working under Chansiri is as much of a plus for us as it is that I am questioning the decision from his point of view. 
 

He can clearly get a team operating higher than the individual parts, plays a good style, knows the Championship and can work in a really dysfunctional environment. 
 

I know a couple of people have suggested he hasn’t played much youth at Wednesday but I don’t think you can judge him at his time there in terms of him having to do what he can with what he has.

 

As a young manager you’d expect him to want to play younger players. Why would you want to deliberately sign and play loads of guys as old or older than you even are? But to be sure, it’s the kind of thing that can easily be established during the selection process and even put as a performance measure if that is done by…competent people (ah)!

I’d like Rohl but I am cautious as to why he would want to come to us.

 

Obviously Chansiri is different level, not getting paid and Chansiri is a gobshite in the stuff he says. 
 

But to come here, where we are run by someone cut from the same cloth even if less extreme, would ring alarm bells for me.

 

Unless it is just a case of get out of Sheffield Wednesday, and he fancies his chances of doing a good job despite our ownership and then getting a better job before long maybe.

Aside from the owner situation, we are a million miles ahead of Wednesday in every area. Training facilities, youth academy, finances (yes we have some issues potentially with PSR, but our owner does have/will spendmoney) playing squad etc etc. 

 

Whilst this season has been hideous, we still have a squad capable of doing well next season. We know we need a striker and a few other areas need strengthening but we still have some good players for that level plus some exciting youth players to integrate into the first team. 

 

Rohl knows he's not getting a prem gig, so the likes of us and Southampton (already got Still I know) would be the most attractive options outside the prem.

I think also, people overestimate what some managers look for when moving. Some will do their due diligence, but I'd bet a lot more will move for economic reasons and worry about the rest when they arrive.

 

I don't think football managers are too much different from the Average Joe; if someone is offering you more money to do the same job, you're going to be tempted aren't you? Same with footballers. KDH knew (we all knew) he'd play a few Europa Conference games for Chelsea at best, but he's getting paid more to actually do less. 

 

I genuinely don't think that many managers think too much about their long term reputation as its such a precarious career. In other words, if we're offering Rohl a significant payrise, I don't think he'll care too much about PSR and the other issues....he'll make do.

Doesn't matter who we get really you've just got to rohl with it.

[Claudio Fannieri]

Whilst we are beyond frustrated with our ownership I would imagine in the football world managers such as Rohl et al would view working for the club and Top as a fairly attractive prospect, great facilities, recent track record of success, decent backing given to managers in the summer. 
 

a good manager who backs himself will see this as still a great chance to push on.

We are still a great proposition. Leicester city under Rohl is a very different prospect to Leicester city under Martin. He would just look at Enzo, and think if he gets us up, it’s a ticket to a big job eventually. 
 

We want longevity yes, but if Rohl could take us up and keep us up, it will do wonders for his career.

Absolutely. He's obviously keen on going back to Germany at some stage and would probably look at Vincent Kompany as an example of where you could go if you get a team up, even if you can't keep them up.

thats like every single manager we've had, 

if Rohl takes us up and keeps us up, yeah of course other teams would look at him, id expect it

but the CLUB should always always succession plan, ala what Brighton do

And like, except with the three attempts to lure Potter, and Rodgers to replace Puel, we’ve never had.

 

The delayed sacking of Rodgers with no successor lined up was almost criminally incompetent. Points from the two games lost under caretakers before Smith’s arrival condemned us to relegation.

 

How any of us can have any faith in these numpties to get this next appointment right (& give the manager the tools to do the job) is beyond me.

[winteriscoming]

You can guarantee Bournemouth, Palace, Brighton and Brentford will have someone lined up if/when a manager leaves. 
These clowns are more reactive than proactive.

They never had a succession plan for Rodgers because they thought he would be there forever, and getting him was one of Tops biggest achievements.  They doubled down on everything with him, and i reckon Top is still bitter he has gone.

This is so plausible. 

 

You can see the thinking - well we just look great so he must be able to sustain this. Without looking that Rodgers hasn't got a record in improving on his successful teams and that, generally, they're in regression after two and a half years.

Haha thanks for reminding me and increasing my blood pressure! The level of incompetence cuts through to all aspects of running the club.

frankly i dont have faith in them they always seem to look at "names/experience" even tho that isnt the be all and end all imo

thats why people want change within the club as behind the scenes has gone stale and we are being left behind in every single department

Martin now 4/7 favourite at Rangers. There must have been some update, that possibly puts Ancelloti out of the mix.

Ancelloti is just a dream for us now. He'd have snapped our hands off when he left Everton. 

 

I know you meant rangers, for avoidance of doubt, but it is a sad indictment of how we've fallen that rangers have now more chance than us.

I haven't seen any news to support Ancelloti's odds going out - all the latest media reports are saying he's pretty much a done deal.

It would be a interesting move for sure but I honestly have a gut feeling we will be stuck with ruud for the start of the season.

How much would it cost to sack him 🤔 and why not? there's no point In him still being here imo that's why I think they can't afford to sack him or he's staying for next season 

With PSR hanging above our heads yet again ,I've got a sneaky feeling that RVN will be with us nest season ,Imo they can't afford to pay him off.

I would put money on RVN staying if I was allowed to

if the alternative is Russell Martin sign me up for Ruud staying, at least he already knows how good Monga and Evans are for a start

No chance. There's a reason they've not spoken to him, and it's not because they've forgotten (however likely that may actually seem with this bunch!). It's clear they are waiting for something - either for him to walk, or for a certain date that helps with finances/PSR.
