Next Manager Speculation and wishful thinking thread

Nuno? A man handed his arse tactically by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer? Nah

More like the spurs players couldnt give a toss

Smith tactically outwitted ole doesnt mean smiths any good

Well if they couldn't give a toss that says something about the manager I would say. Also, his football is dire..

I'm looking forward to the meltdown on here when there's a realisation that the new manager isn't Conte or the guy from Ajax.

You're hoping we don't get a good manager so you can enjoy the misery of your fellow fans? Bit weird.

Not at all.
Just think some will be outraged that we couldn't land a manager of that calibre.
Which I don't  think we will.

I am flabbergasted Spurs appears to have hooked Conte. What has Levy promised him as a transfer budget, I wonder. It'll have to be a lot so very bad for us with presumably both Spurs and Newcastle outspending us next couple of seasons.

Conte turned them down in the summer because they wouldn't give him the budget/control he wanted. Seems to have been a very expensive mistake by Levy. It's a funny one, either OGS or Nuno was likely to lose their job at weekend, if Spurs end up with a far superior coach then maybe was worth it.

The likes of Kane, Ndombele and Alli are in for a fair old shock if they do get Conte.

We should, at least, try to get the best manager available. If they say "no", so what?

Houllier, McLeish, Lambert, Sherwood, Garde, Di Matteo and Bruce were all realistic appointments.

I'd rather we appoint someone unrealistic.

I want the rest of football, just for once, to be saying "how the fuck have they appointed him", rather than "why the fuck have they appointed him"?

I’ve put my finger on why this thread annoyed me and I overreacted. It popped up so soon after the match, when the views could have been posted on the ‘Smith Out’ thread. All a bit disrespectful to a man who’s done so much for our club to start discussing replacements.

[Dante Lavelli]

lets go leftfield for someone like Xabi Alonso

Is he at Real Socidad?  They’re doing great, and have been for a while, so whoever is their manager could be an option.

Agree.
It would be amazing for us to do that and I sincerely hope its the case.
But I can't get it out of my head that we'll end up with Frank Lampard and Jody Morris.

My only problem with Potter is I can't hear his name in any voice other than Alan Rickman's.

I think it's time we stopped looking at 'local' people. Manchester United didn't get where they are today by avoiding Norwegians. What about that fella who managed Wimbledon in wellies back in the day?

[villa for life]

The Southampton manager has done well for a while and who knows what he could achieve with a bigger budget.

He’s also experienced enough to steer us away from the relegation zone where we will soon find ourselves.

I’m sure he’d be tempted as he must be frustrated at not being able to hang onto his best players and build a stronger team.

His dress sense is a tad questionable, though.

Could be a good compromise candidate between the “I don’t want Terry/Lampard/Gerrard” brigade and the “”let’s get Conte/ Hag/Zidane” crew.

I think Southampton play awful stuff really. Just set-up to survive. I'd rather go for Viera if that's the level we're looking at. - at least he tries to play football even with limited players.
