Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[Small Rodent]

If Potter goes there, he will just be the interim fall guy for their long term choice who cannot break contract.

I have not thought of a name yet for my conspiracy theory…..

[eamonn]

Every Chelsea manager is an interim one.

*You could say the same about most managers but Chelsea's turnaround is top-tier.

But Watford are on their own. They interview next Manager straight after appointing someone.

Surprisingly, they aren't.

They probably have the record for the last 10 years or so though. Since June 2011 they've had 17 full time managers. Obviously 'full time' has a different meaning at Watford.

A couple of names to throw in ther pot from down here:

Rúben Amorim, the Sporting Clube de Lisboa Coach may only be 37 but has incredible maturity. Plays attacking football and has completely turned Sporting around. He's a humble, intelligent, educated man that is tactically smart and can adapt. What's crazy is Sporting paid €10m to take him off Braga despite him only managing them for 13 games. It was the best 10m Sporting ever spent. He now has a €30m release clause.

Sérgio Conceição, Porto Coach. More experienced, despite being a top player in Porto and Italy he's done it the hard way before replacing Nuno at Porto. He's contracted until summer 2024 and he's been tempted to leave Porto several times including Spurs where he was shortlisted when they appointed Conté. The Plastics were also said to be interested when they sacked Solskjaer.

Amorim's Sporting hammered Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 away in the CL tonight.Good call,Rudy.

Rúben Amorim would without doubt also be my number one choice for next Villa manager but we have absolutely zero chance of getting him. He’ll probably replace Guardiola once he leaves Man City and I suspect they've already sounded him out to do exactly that.

He will end up at Wolves and so will all his players, and possibly a few of their directors, catering staff and fans.

Potter would be off his head to go to the basket case of a club that is Chelsea right now. He can easily bide his time, earn his stripes, and his time will come for the right club in due course. Not that he or anyone else would give a shit, but he would go down in my estimations of him if he accepted the Chelsea job and would soon become an intolerable prick.

Have any custard tart emporiums bloomed in Wolverhampton in recent times? Would be nice if there's some sort of legacy when the Portugeezers leave.

[Allan C]

Potter would get the time to get it right with us. He won’t at Chelsea. It’s a strange choice but anyone going there knows the game. Go in get paid, win something if possible and expect a payout.

I’d be interested how much time you’d give Potter here?? I’m presuming it would be longer than half a season and 6 games of the next ??

I’d give any manager time if he demonstrated improvements and tangible progression. I realize this is a dig at my Gerrard out thread or my position overall. If you look back at our record after Christmas overall it’s abysmal. And what’s worse is our football is atrocious. The manager also made an unnecessary change to our captain, pick someone who I couldn’t think of as a worse leader. He barely does interviews or motivates players on the pitch. And he’s created an equally unnecessary bomb squad of players who should be contributing. So do I want Gerrard gone yes. Would I give Potter more time? Yes if he did the opposite of all of things Gerrard has done.

I know basically nothing about football outside of Villa, but Chelsea would be a very lucrative free hit for Potter. He'd have a good salary, big payout when he gets the sack, and it's not like failing at Chelsea as a mid-season appointment would put his next club off.

We hired RDM, Everton hired Lampard; Villas-Boas, Benitez, Conte, Sarri have all gone on to have careers elsewhere.

Brighton, with all due respect, are a rabbit turd of a club. I expect Potter would be confident of doing well, but even if he were to fail, his family would be set for life, and his professional reputation would be undiminished because everybody knows what arsewipes Chelsea are.

Win/win.

it depends, so easy to get a reputation for being a good coach but could not handle the big players, or the pressure of a big club etc.
It won’t stop him getting another job but it depends if he is looking to become a top level coach long term.
Of course if he is successful there, then he automatically steps into that bracket.
As others have said, it looks like a club in transition, there are players that have been there a long time , players lots of expensive new players, some that are not happy and not enough places in the team to keep all of them happy.
They could easily replicate post Ferguson Manure having spent lavishly.

There is at least one,yes.
