I would happily wait for Nagelsmann in the summer but only if we can reach a pre-agreement and lock him in. I don’t think we should be waiting around hoping he’ll come.
I agree.....gives me AVB vibes. 2 jobs and not long in either of them.Slot sounds like a gamble to me
Maybe, but he works hard. Often described by former players as a machine.Slot sounds like a gamble to me
Lots of goals, compared to bielsa, phenomenal record at both AZ and feyenoord. With AZ he might have won the league if it wasn't for covid. AZ were joint top. Second season he draws the first 6 games, somehow, by crazy scores like 4-4 and then they win 3 in a row. He is sacked because AZ caught wind that he was talking the Feyenoord. There his european performances excellent and transformed an old sleeping giant into favourites to win the title.I know absolutely nothing about Arne Slot. Anyone got any insight?
He'll fit right in at Madrid then : )At the time when he took the Bayern job many advised him it was too early. He needed to of gone to a club outside Germany, like Benfica for example to develop. Better still coming here or United.
He would have done well, and grown his reputation. Managing a club like Bayern with its pedigree. Especially after the success of Flick, I would have avoided. Totally different culture, with some of the world’s best players and their egos. No wonder he was deemed a ‘failure’.
So true and completely feel the same it always feels so reactive.I think where my frustration currently lies is I believe if this were another top side something would be somewhat quickly, and with conviction. Hindsight is everything so this could mean F all in a few weeks time.
I think if a top PL side wanted Slot, they would have it wrapped up for now or the Summer. I don't think it would be considered a "long shot" (putting 2+2 together) getting a manager from the dutch league, with no disrespect. Sure he may want to stay on and lead the title charge, but I just think at the end of the day another club gets it done in whatever means possible.
Other journos and murmurs say we were in/close to Tuchel. Unless we're playing some sort of chess, Bayern caught wind, sacked their coach and locked in on Tuchel because they believe he is their guy in the same time we're putting feelers out.
Not trying to be overly negative, and I'm taking everything with large pinches of salt, but I just want the club to act with conviction. The signs to me just seem that there is not complete buy in again from everyone on the board and we sniff around in different areas until something falls perfectly into our lap. At the end of the day, we'll see how this plays out.
Might just be me, but that looks like a better potential list than when we were searching and ended up with NunoTier 1:
- Tuchel (Bayern)
- Nagelsmann
- Poch (Madrid?)
- Enrique
Tier 2:
- Slot
- Amorim
- De Zerbi
- Ange
- Gallardo
Tier 3:
- Kompany
- Xabi Alonso
- Carrick
This would probably be my tiered shortlist and it's essentially tier 1 are managers that have managed massive clubs, tier 2 are managers that are in the next tier, some European experience, some more experienced than others and probably a matter of time before a bigger club tries for them. Tier 3 would be the "next wave" of up and coming managers that probably need some more experience before moving to their next challenge.
100% agree with this, great list and Tier system.Tier 1:
- Tuchel (Bayern)
- Nagelsmann
- Poch (Madrid?)
- Enrique
Tier 2:
- Slot
- Amorim
- De Zerbi
- Ange
- Gallardo
Tier 3:

Has a bald manager ever won the EPL?I find it hard to believe we'd go for Slot over Nagelmann. The latter has more CL experience and isn't bald.

Our very own AntonioHas a bald manager ever won the EPL?
I am available for the right price and can attract big names such as Chris Armstrong and Clive Wilson.Is the other 50% getting Gerry Francis in as his assistant?
