Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[ChicagoLion]

If the owners are tightening their belts and are therefore not going to throw a £100 million at the club each season then I cannot see the likes of Poch or Tuchel being interested in taking the job

exactly.
We are in the up and coming or uninspiring but safe pair of hands market.

If the owners are tightening their belts ...

where's the actual evidence for this?

There's none whatsoever.

If that's true and they want to reign in the spending a bit, this is why Potter would've been ideal imo. He was convinced he'd not get a 'top' job because he was English, ginger and called Potter. I reckon he'd have jumped at the chance to come here.

But whatever, that ship has sailed now. The only thing the owners have got wrong is appointing Gerrard, or letting Purslow blag them to appoint Gerrard. If they let this drift with us continuing to stink the place out picking up a point a game then I'd start to wonder about them. Or if they bin Gerrard and appoint another gamble, then I'd start to wonder. Other than that, they've been pretty much perfect.

Obviously I'd like Poch, but it feels unlikely.

Alough he may not be particularly likeable, before this season I've always considered Rodgers to be a very good manager. I'm not sure why the wheels have come off at Leicester, but I would have thought he'd get much more out of this squad than Gerrard has.

I'm not sure that's true.  Our low net spend over two seasons, the very uninspiring end to the summer transfer window and Purslow's comments all look like evidence to me.

And allowing this run of results and performances to continue as long as it has.

How much have we spent during the last 3 windows?

I can't be arsed to work it out again, but 'net' it's not very much.  Something like £20m.

Well if you finish 11th, which we did 2 seasons ago, and spend around £7m per window from them on then you are only going to go backwards.

[chrisw1]

OK, i've heard speculation on all of
Poch
Franks
Emery (Can't see him leaving Villareal)
Tuchel
Rodgers

Anyone else?

That let's Gerrard off the hook for ten months of crap football and form slightly better than relegation. And isn't our wage bill (a better metric in the opinion of certain experts) said to be the 8th highest in the league?

I believe there’s a quote from the fan’s forum meeting about being self sustaining, one in one out …. I’m sure someone on here can quote

[cdbearsfan]

We would get Pochettino easily if we are willing to back him.
