The only guy who has instant trust of the fans and clearly has the mettle to sort this team out. Doing it now would be for all the wrong reasons - panicked, rushed and chaotic. Worrying times indeed.
dannythefox Posted 11 February Posted 11 February Honestly I can’t see how a new gaffer can sort the mess out. All I want it Rudkin out and a complete reset 2
LcFc_Smiv Posted 11 February Posted 11 February 31 minutes ago, Claudio Fannieri said: What makes me smile is the complete lack of proactive succession planning. Most clubs will be watching and monitoring a number of managers and have a shortlist of 5/6 targets at any given time. Yet here we are at LCFC where we sack a manager and then appear to start from scratch with a quick google search of “out of work managers with EFL & EPL experience’ and then take it from there. fecking amateur The lack of succession planning for any role is massively concerning, taking into account we are also hiring a new CEO, technical director and commercial director and there has been no movement on any front. 2

I completely agree. Two weeks ago Top mentioned in his interview that a Technical Director was 'close' yet there's been no appointment and barely a whisper of who it could be. It's clear as day that there is no vision or strategy underpinning what we are trying to achieve, and any plans are either built on sand or nonexistent. We really have two incompetent individuals steering the ship and we're heading for the mother of all icebergs. 1

I meant links as in he’s local to the area, wants to come back from America, has worked for us before, coached Fuchs at last job and has extensive championship experience

teblin Posted 11 February Posted 11 February Rowett would've taken our job 100%, but looks like that ship has sailed. Not sure where we go from here, not sure they do either but I might be wrong. 2
LCFCCHRIS Posted 11 February Posted 11 February I keep banging on about Pearson, but… Does anyone actually know his current health status? Is he actually wanting the job as some have said? If he’s wanting the job and is even at 70% full health just give it to him now.

The rest of the dross is what you would expect from a Rudkin Top dream team. Enzo ... Enzo ... Enzo ... he was here for 1 season ... a great first half followed by a rubbish second half ... remember how much of a points lead we gave up ... his football was not great to watch and at the first sign of interest from a bigger club ... off he goes ... so for me it's ENZNO 1

The whelan stuff made this even worse. It's highly unlikely. A number of managers won't touch it either - Will Still for example in the summer wouldn't go near it. The clubs reputation is the pits in football circles. Edited 11 February by CL Fox
ronnup Posted 11 February Posted 11 February Its got to be a short term interim on a massive bonus at this point surely? We cant attract anyone good long term 2

NO MANAGER since him has. 3

Supposedly he was there last night but was last seen sprinting down the Raw Dykes Road after full-time with a crazed look in his eyes, shoving anybody in his way to the ground, screaming, “Out of my way! OUT OF MY ****ING WAY!!” 1 1
ClaphamFox Posted 11 February Posted 11 February I just had a look at the odds. The previous leading contenders have all drifted and the shortest price on any candidate is 6/1. I can’t recall ever seeing a ‘next manager’ market as wide as this so long after the previous manager left. Nobody wants the job.

ClaphamFox Posted 11 February Posted 11 February Just now, Lionator said: There’s no rumours because the club isn’t doing anything. Possibly, but I’m leaning to the view that the club has been offering the job around but simply can’t find any takers. 2

If he fails to improve the team now he could have hundreds screaming at Rudkin, Top, the team, and probably him. The man has been ill so I wouldn't want our infected club stalling his rehabilitation (not that I know the details of his illness but it would still worry me).
FoxKent_88 Posted 11 February Posted 11 February How many wake up calls do they need? Kingy is being thrown under the bus now. I think the cup game will be his last, surely?
Spudulike Posted 11 February Posted 11 February De Zerbi is available. Perhaps shouldn't be in the Relialistic managers thread. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cgqejpj4d80o
