Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[jwarry]

The Times this morning are reporting that Poch has turned us down, Tuchel not interested, so our attention has turned to Amorim

[Bad English]

Emery or Amorim would be excellent.

Given what my e stands for I'd clearly be happy with former but can we please put a ban on the fucking Dick quotes if he does come in, I've had that shit for most of my life and it stopped being funny or relevant when I was still in school.

Ooh, that must have been awful. But we like you.

Who voted for Southgate?

Also Dyce and Bruce have a "want" vote ?
Has to be a Troll taking the piss
I hate this time , you hope for a Mancini type appointment but in your heart you know you are going to be underwhelmed.
Nuno can also go on the list of no thank you candidates for that reason
MON was the last time I was really optimistic about an appointment
My God we have had a load of crap since then only Dean has gone on for (albeit short) decent spell after leaving us.

At least we apparently tried to go for him, so fair enough.

I'd be over the moon with Emery, I don't know enough about Amorim to have an opinion tbh. At least it does look like we're trying to aim high.

If we end up with Dyche because no other fucker is interested, then that really will be fucking depressing.

Mason Mount

Yes, either of those three would end any love I have left for Villa. I'd have rather just kept Smith/Gerrard.

Have a read of Amorims Wikipedia, he sounds too tactically sound for us

[Vegas]

We need someone who understands and believes in the value of tactics, and who is a good motivator and man manager who can build good team spirit and a strong work ethic.  All of this would ideally be proven over several seasons / clubs, as I think there is a large randomness factor with managers inheriting players over a short time frame.

I don’t believe we particularly need a “name” to make people sit up and take notice. We won’t get current Champions League level players at the moment, and a name might just help get you players slightly past their best (Coutinho and Digne, for example).

Therefore I’m not at all sold on Tuchel - I didn’t see a great love for him at Chelsea. I wouldn’t go for Zidane (not that he’d come anyway). I’m also not totally convinced by the young Portugese feller - I basically have no idea, but 30m sounds a lot of budget to spend on someone with a couple of good seasons behind them in a very different league.

I would love someone like Potter or Howe basically, but obviously we wouldn’t get those two now.

I'll be honest, there is a lot of hate for Dyche. He took Burnley into Europe for heaven's sake!  He would certainly not take any crap from the players and this view of the type of football he plays - he did he best with the players he had.

Amorim looks interesting but a real risk. Only 37 and managed in Portugal but he's done well there.

Emery looks interesting too.  Let's see where that leads.

We have to be honest. We're 4th from bottom. We're not going to get elite managers based on our current position. The above 3 are the best we can hope for. Jesus, even Frank wanted to stay at Brentford!

Nuno

[Ozzjim]

Dyche is a 15 years younger Allardyce. If that's where we are at, we've all given up.

I'm done if we go Dyche.

[andyh]

Dyche ?
Seriously?
Fucking Sean Dyche ?

I despair.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

A managers ego says they can be the ones to take us where we want to go and become legends in the process….they may also get a few quid to top up their bank balance.

I don't think that is their thought process. Once you have reached a certain 'level', you are unlikely to start over by going back to where you were ten or fifteen years ago. I certainly wouldn't in my own career. Even if I'd be, comparatively, very well renumerated for doing so, it is unlikely it would be more than what I make in my current position. So why take on the extra risk, extra stress, extra hours that a fixer-project means that other people would likely also interpret as a downgrade, which could potentially hurt my future interests. Money is an important parameter but, again, at that level probably not the deciding factor. The dedicing factor I believe is career management.

I take your point but in Poch’s case he’s not super elite he’s in the band one or two levels below. He didn’t get the Man U or Chelsea jobs when he was available. He went to PSG after over achieving at Spurs and had connections to the club but failed.

You’re probably right that he doesn’t want to drop down as far as us but I just struggle to see where he’ll go particularly when it was reported he wanted a project. He’d get the finances, support and patience here.

He might have to wait a bit longer for Juve or Atletico under normal circumstances but with the natural break coming up we might see some unusual activity. Are we prepared to wait till the World Cup and potentially right off the games before?

Edit. Write off!

I’m in the “wouldn’t totally hate Dyche” camp.
