Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[RamboandBruno]

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.

I agree. If its him so be it, but it will smell of Purslow taking the easy route and getting ‘another’ that he already knows. It would show very acumen.

[Chap]

Can we add Klopp to the poll?😜

[Sexual Ealing]

Purslow hasn’t worked with Rodgers.

Some bloke on Twitter who has long claimed to be ITK reckons we're making an official approach for Rodgers next week.

Leicester are picking up now so would be a strange time to leave them. Feels he's got over the worst at Leicester.

I think Rodgers would be a good fit for our squad but think he needs a bit of a break from game at same time. That said it will be three more games and then a six week break where he can have a few weeks in the sun.

He took over Leicester when they were about 14th in league and lead them to two 5th place finishes. And an FA cup win and european SF. I think we'd all that that in next five seasons!

Does have the feel though one of the owners made a big play for Pochettino, he turned us down and now we're scrambling around for managers like Wolves.

We were also probably happy to wait until world cup break but when you see Forest beating Liverpool today we really need 5 points on the board in next 4 games otherwise we could easily be bottom in a months time. With way we're playing that's a big ask.

The World Cup will be like a 6-week mini pre-season to work with the players. Bit like in Lockdown 1, which was probably the difference between staying up or going down.

Brendan Rodgers is a manager in decline, the opposite of what we need.  It would be such a poor, unimagainative choice.

Dion Dublin on Football Focus has just suggested Rafa Benitez.

With Purslow here?   More chance of me getting the job than the Spanish waiter rocking up in B6

[N'ZMAV]

Rodgers would be like us appointing DOL after Taylor left.

55 of us think Dyche?

SG I understood as a gamble at this level but Dyche, you think the sum total of our ambition is Dyche in our development? Is their thinking “We’ll give SG a go, if it doesn’t work out we’ve always got Sean Dyche to fall back on?”

Us Mods can see exactly how people voted, it’s a perk of the job.

Who’d like to know who voted Want Steve Bruce?

[N'ZMAV]

Want Bielsa
Think Hassenhuttl

Alex Bruce?

There's no chance it will be Dyche & I've not seen anyone with any credibility saying it will be.

Rodgers or Emery are more likely.

[levico]

Amorim would be too risky. He’s very similar to Gerrard. Done well in an inferior league but untested in the PL.

[cdbearsfan]

Yeah we should get someone who is tested in the Premier League like Guardiola and Klopp were.

I remember someone (during one of our regular manager searches. Can't remember which one) on here suggesting that, having previously employed an overseas manager, 'we've tried foreign. It doesn't work'. Like 'foreign' is a type of football.
