Next Manager Speculation and wishful thinking thread

[ozzjim]

Farke is a really strange one. Unplayable in the championship and not too unlike Rodgers in the way his side play, but awful in the prem.

Dyche is a dinosaur, 4-4-fucking-2.

And Brighton haven't won in the last 6 either. I don't know who I want. Someone foreign and exciting who I know fuck all about.

We’ve been linked with Kasper Hjulmand He fits that Criteria

Surely he fails on the 'exciting' bit? One material appointment and he didn't even last the season.

No thanks.

Have you seen Denmark play recently, some of the best football played in europe at international football and they've handled loss of Eriksen with ease.

I agree his record wasn't great at all at Mainz but you'd assume Southgate and Martinez will both get decent clubs once they go back into that scene and neither were any great shakes at that level previously.

I think I'd be looking to take a bit of a risk with someone like Hjulmand or Bo Svensson.

[SoccerHQ]

The criteria will be around who is currently out of work and who would see us as a step up from where they currently are. That rules out a lot a good managers.

Why wouldn't we pay to get someone out of contract mid season? Newcastle had basically agreed to do that with Emery before he changed his mind last minute, Leicester did it with Rodgers and we of course did it with Brentford and DS.

This just smacks of us still being scarred by Lerner mentality when picking managers I think (and even then we got Lambert when under contract at Norwich).

Obviously we're not going to poach anyone managing at CL or europa level but plenty of good managers doing jobs in europe leagues who'd fancy coming here if approached. And domestically Graham Potter is obvious one we could tempt.

I suppose in his defence, regarding the prem, he always has his better players sold and never replaced.

[wince]

Can mods permanently ban and/or maim anyone who suggests Roy hodgson, fat Sam, stevie g, fat fwank, the racist bloke and smith mk2.

Can we just get a manager who is the real deal as well?

Optics of appointing someone who can barely win a game at prem level wouldn't look good.

I actually think Ralph Hassenhuttl would be a good fit for us, I mentioned him a few weeks back and his name gets odd mention.

He has CL experience with Leipzig (got them to 2nd in 16/17 season) and Southampton are picking up now (although he does like his long winless run as much as DS).

I'm always impressed by how they play v us and think that's the style of manager this squad needs, would certainly know how to get more out of Danny Ings.

He's one I'd approach and see what the mood is as Southampton will probably lose form soon and he'll be under pressure again so might feel he's done all he can there.

[sickbeggar]

If Smith goes, i'll think we'll get a yesman so no-one who will have the status to dictate a bit to the board. Smith is probably the most anonymous manager in the premier and I think that's how they like it. Don't get me wrong, I think he's been an inspired choice but I didn't at the time, and If they were after a statement manager with an impressive record he wouldn't have got the gig in the first place

[john e]

This will never happen and I don’t know why I’m putting it out there but here goes anyway

If I was the CEO I’d approach Wenger, I don’t care how long he’s been out of the game he is a master tactician And a bloody good football manager
Bring him in on a long-term 3/4 year With the proviso that he has a younger man next to him who he can groom to take over

I think he would be up for a project And at 72 you’re only as young as you feel the President of the United States is older than that

Anyway that’s what I would do

I have. International football is different and you say so yourself. Southgate and Martinez are just further examples of how different it is.

[ozzjim]

When Bruce went, Smith was an outstanding option, this time it's much harder. I'm sticking with Favre and Fonseca as my favoured options. The Danish manager got a hell of an endorsement from Frank in the Telegraph before the England game, basically saying he's the most innovative coach he's worked with and will change things in game all the time to gain an edge.

Both are abject failures. Southgate has had the 2 easiest draws an international competition will ever see and not seen the job through, while Martinez has wasted the most talented international squad in the world over the last ten years. Neither deserve a top club job.

Wenger's greatest strength was identifying and recruiting untapped talent. It's much more difficult to do that post-Brexit. I also think if he wanted to get back into management he would already have taken a job since Arsenal. Very unlikely he has had no offers.

Don't disagree but not sure Martinez has done well with Belgium. Zero trophies, zero finals. You put most of us in charge of the players he has at his disposal and we would be able to get to the odd semi-final.

Edit: I see Ozzjim has already made the same point.
