Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[LeeB]

We could do better, but we could do a lot worse

[AlexAlexCropley]

The way Rodgers mentioned how "Steven needed more time" and "there isn't any patience now"wouldn't appear to suggest he has any handle on our club.

Paying compensation to a club to take a manager who most of their fans would be happy to pay off to leave doesn't seem like great business sense. Rodgers would be very bland and I want "holy shit he's amazing", thanks.

Yes although if ended up as a choice between Rodgers and Dyche then Rodgers every day of the week.

Yes, agreed. Very much hope those aren't the options.

In fairness, managers are hardly gonna say "I'd have sacked the twat".

Let's choose the former option, then.

[Toronto Villa]

Rodgers would be an excellent appointment in my opinion. Yes he’s hit a sticky patch. So did Moyes and he’s got the experience to bounce back. He has been successful in Scotland and England, and likes to play a good brand of football and he’s at the right age to rebuild us long term. It makes sense on many levels in terms of where we are now and who might realistically be available. A pragmatic choice with significant upside.

He would be boring as fuck. He'd be just the sort of appointment people would expect us to make, and if we keep living down to expectations we will never, ever challenge.

Next level manager required.

[PaulWinch again]

Rodgers isn’t boring he’s been pretty successful, bar recently, and has had his teams playing decent stuff. He’s a different level to the likes of Dyche.

[Clark W Griswold]

Rogers would be as good as any mentioned and a lot better than most (other than Poch). If we’re not getting Poch I certainly wouldn’t be too upset with Rogers.

Exactly.

Had enough of Purslow and his predecessor’s talking about ambition.

Show us it this time.

More I think about it, more I want Emery, but I think we will go much safer.

I did think it might be Dyche, but I reckon we will bung a few million to Leicester and solve their issue of not being able to sack Brenda.

I'd say Emery is a far safer appointment than Dyche.

Dyche would probably keep us up, but then we're stuck with him, and have our future is finishing 10th-16th every season or until he has an inevitable bad run.

Emery would definitely keep us up also, but the ceiling is much higher.  We might even win a cup.

Rodgers has had Leicester top 6/7 last 3 seasons and won the fa Cup. I would take that the next 2/3 years. He tends to do very well for a period, its about knowing when to pot him.

He's a fellow manager so what did you expect him to say?  Or do you think he should have "positioned" himself for the job?

Agree and I think the the club want to find the next big thing, not take part in the usual uninspiring managerial circus if they can’t attract a current big name coach. Tried it with Gerrard, and now this Portuguese bloke.

He's good at winning cups. That should be a very important consideration. If he won the FA Cup with us he'd basically be canonised.
