It's a bit long but .......sign him now

Watching that, I’m surprised Wolves haven’t gone for him. I guess money could be an issue for them. But, three at the back, high press, solid defence with a not so good goal threat. He sounds perfect for them.

For us? Cash, Young or Digne, it might work. Kamara when fit, with Mings, Konsa, Carlos (again when fit) or Chambers behind.

It could suit Watkins too, he loves a high press.

He likes to take on a challenge, a club not quite working.

He could be perfect.

Dyche would almost certainly improve us. We'd be getting better results and looking like we're actually coached. But it would be so damn uninspiring. And just screams settling for mediocrity.

He would organise the team and get them all fit and running for miles in the game, but God know's what he'd do with Coutinho and Buendia and all that skill.

I want Poch or Tuchel.  If we don't get either of them, and it looks like we won't, then I really don't know who I want.  The rest aren't in that class at all.  I'd never heard of Amorim yesterday, his lack of experience is a big worry and it would apparently cost a fair bit to get him.  It's got red flags all over it.

If it was me I'd go all out to get the new man in asap and give him the WC break to work with the players that aren't going to be involved with their international teams and use the time for them to become conversant with his ideas and future playing style. *

* It won't be me.

Seems sensible and I'd imagine that's the plan. God help Liverpool on Dec. 26th once Dyche has worked his magic.

Whose biggest mistake was believing the chancers that were running the club at that time.
we have had a lot worse.

I'd honestly put Emery ahead of Tuchel and I'd be as happy with him as with Poch. If none of them then someone like Amorim or Svensson would be next in line ahead of the likes of Dyche and Rodgers for me, an unknown with a great reputation would be a much better call than someone well known and dull, if only because it would shake away the feeling that the wheels are falling off. Dyche would be the biggest red flag of all because it would be abandoning our ambitions for the sake of safety.

thats how i see it , Dyche would just signal that we are here to make up the numbers.

Dyche is admitting that the owners are giving up their ambitions.

And because we've been so shit hardly any of our players are involved in the WC!  Perfect opportunity to get systems/set ups/tactics up and running!

I suppose you can simplify it and put managers into 3 groups

1) Top level, Poch etc
2) Solid should do a job, Dyche etc
3) Managers on the up, Amorim etc

If you aren't in a position to get group 1, you either settle for steady group 2, or take a chance on someone in group 3 and hope they become a group 1 manager.

I know you could make more groups, but really, this is what it boils down to.

Our treatment if Remi Garde was shameful.
