Next Manager Watch

[Monkey boy]

Go and throw the kitchen sink at Poch, crawl to him on your hands and knees if you must because right now "Daniel COYS" you are sinking faster than the titanic. Poch has been the life raft staring you in the face from the moment you hit the iceberg. For christ sake bloody jump in it.

Interesting. Levy turning down the idea of selling Kane and Son. That in itself shows he is shook by the fans view of him. Until he actually backs a manager 100% in their vision it doesn’t really matter who we appoint, does it?

The day Levy backs a manager´s vision 100%, the whole footballing world will know with 100% certainty that we have the wrong manager.

Knowing how most modern managers (and Slot in particular) likes to close down their opponents and press high, selling Son and Kane is probably the right thing to do. However painful it sounds. Neither of them are able or willing to do that job (anymore) it seems.

As an Australian I am biased, but Ange is a very very good coach. He is a hardarse, doesnt accept anything less than 100% and has always won or dragged really bad (such as the australian team) teams to over achieve. I suggest watching this mic'd up training session of him at celtic. He isnt attractive because he isnt from a "footballing" nation, but he knows his stuff. I wouldnt be opposed to him getting a chance.

I have to admit, he's got my attention in the first 60 seconds when he's talking about speed of pass. The one thing I've struggled with under Mourinho and Conte was our lack of tempo. All of our players take multiple touches before they pass, and when they do pass it lacks purpose.

I'd love to have a coach that wants to see high tempo, one or two touches and moving the ball on quickly. Can't understand where there's ever a need for anything else tbh.

Ange seems like a great bloke and I love his intent. My concern is whether he could really cut it in the PL and whether he'd be taken seriously by our players.

At this point I would want us to try and resolve whatever issues we had with Nagelsmann and try to make that happen. If not then I would love to see Gallardo (unlikely) but would be accepting of either Postecoglu or Potter. The latter can't be blamed for what happened at Chelsea. Their new owner is mental and they have a squad of individuals who all think they were too good for any manager.

Daniel Levy is well known for making impossible things possible.
Like building a world class stadium for once mid table PL team.
Or fucking up signing willing to sign Arne Slot for soon-going-to-be-mid-table-PL-team-again Tottenham Hotspur FC.

If Daniel had any self awareness he would quit.

Barely logged in all morning seen loads of posts, I take we have fucked up big time again ?

Not happening. It seems the deal for Chelsea is signed. No way he gets out of that contract.

Poch was there for the taking the second we sent Conte packing. Sadly, that boat has long gone.

Nagelsmann? - wants too much control
Slot? - compensation is too high

Absolutely unwilling to make any compromises for the good of the club.

To be fair, you really need a ? at the end of both those statements too as it's all complete speculation

Very very disappointing to not get a manger I didn't know anything about 6 months ago. However... Not getting slot is not what I'm disappointed about, it's what he supposedly stood for and who he was marketed as and what he'd be good for. A rebuilt, good with youth, progressive attacking attractive football.

Now it's back to the drawing board, or back to another candidate who may have been close, but we'd played our hand with Slot.

Good post.

I'm down on the club. If we get the next manager right, we might have a season or two of improvement. Maybe even some enjoyable football.

The bigger problems will remain of course but a good coach could improve things.

I thought he'd be good for us, based purely on what I've read about him. For me, this is looking like another managerial search that'll end badly.

I want Rodgers.

It's been fun watching our fans struggle to spell the name of our foreign players, despite them being here for years.

Watching us fail to spell as common a surname as Rogers, will bring me a little joy.

Not sure most would be happy with Rodgers

I'm not sure you read the 2nd and 3rd sentences in my post.

That is what is baffling, or appoint a DoF and say all footballing issues sit with him. Then it might bring people back to dealing with us.

What he is doing now is harming the club in a big way.

Sounds like we’re looking for a cheap yes man

 

[danielneeds]

In some ways, maybe this all getting worse and worse is the only way we bottom out and see Levy have to resign as chairman at the very least.

I think my post went over your head

We'll give it to Ryan if that's the case. Hope not, hope not.

There was a story at the beginning, from one journalist and it came across as his opinion, that he wanted to stay with his kids as they were starting schools in the area.

He might not think the job at Feyenoord is done yet. He might think if he builds his career further, he'll get a genuine top job.

There are loads of reasons why he might not want to join us. It's weird that anyone thinks it must be a compensation issue.

I don't understand why so many fans don't want to admit that they don't know something that they can't possibly know.

This doesn't view hold weight when he was said last week that he'd love to manage in the PL and if he's still in the Netherlands in a few years he'd be a failure. In addition to multiple ITK saying he was keen on the job.

It may not be a compensation issue but it certainly wasn't a case of him not wanting to come.

Are we going to beat the 2021 shitshow? 11 days to go...

This is actually worse than 21 as we have known Tony was going since November

 

[rabbikeane]

No Slot wouldn't be the end of the world as long as club got a plan about who we want to be and what type of manager we are after.
The fear (realization?) is that our next option could just as well be in a totally different direction to Slot and we're just searching blind hoping for some luck.

Possibly, like I keep saying we have no way of knowing the reason.

Even the official reason, if given, will likely be lies.
