Next Manager Watch

[Beefyboy]

Is there anything to suggest Enrique wouldn't be around for a few seasons and wouldn't fancy a rebuild.

Because he's established he seems to be getting viewed as a Conte type but I can't really remeber him being short termist or falling out with people like Jose or Conte did. I think I'm right in saying he treated the Spanish job as a long term thing and really started overhauling the squad and bringing the young players through?

If its between Kompany and Slot I would favour Slot. I'd like to see Kompany manage a season in the Premier League first. Slot is managing a higher level so think he's the best option. We can always get Kompany next summer if he's had a good year in the prem. You know we'll be back here again in 12 months. Besides if we get Slot imagine the great headlines.

Slot drop and roll, Spurs are on fire.

Of course it's my bias , everyone's posts here confirm their bias.

I don't have faith in him either having the flexibility to get the best out of our squad and the energy required to turn it around.

I maybe wrong you certainly seem to really believe in him but like others I get a really bad feel about it.

Fair enough. We shall see I guess.

The funny thing with Rodgers, and hear me out here , he does have a track record of attractive football and you could argue he did a very good job at Leicester before they ran out of money (not his fault). If we were talking after he won the fa cup he'd be a solid pick.

As it stands, and given Rodgers is a bellend, we surely have to prioritise other managers over him. Should we get turned down by a few, he'd rapidly move up my preferred list as horrifying as it is to say...

 

[HedgieSpur]

I can understand that view.

Enrique seems to be a similar level of appointment (if not stylistically) to Jose and Conte and it just seems like we should be trying something different.

That makes zero sense. Its like when people say "how many Romanians have done well in the PL?" We need to be looking at the attributes of the candidate and seeing how they fit into our strategy imo. Everything else strays into the minefield of subjective bias-based recruitment which ultimately is unlikely to be successful.

 

[HedgieSpur]

Personally I can't see FP winning his appeal anyway and neither can my source. Perhaps That's why I've not been told anything regarding Enrique? Best outcome for him from what I'm told by people who have more knowledge about this stuff than I do, is his ban possibly being reduced but it's unlikely to be reversed.

Im sure I read something from legal counsel saying his sporting sanction is likely to be overturned/reduced but that there will be criminal proceedings coming. Either way, not great is it?

That's the thing. He's obviously not the right choice and would be a terrible option. But he's still a good manager and does play some really nice football. I bet it woukd be really fun for 18 months or so but then he woukd hit a wall like he always does and we'd be back where we started again. He's not a cultural overhaul type manager that I think we need, but he's certainly not at all a bad manager.

If I was Kompany I would show loyalty and stay with Burnley, working and continuing to learn in the premier league without the pressure and a good amount of goodwill.

I think he would be mad to take the Spurs job.

When he is in the bottom 3 next March he might think differently. When an opportunity comes along as a manager ,more often than not, they take it. Doesn’t take much for your reputation to take a hit. Look at Gerard, Villa just a stepping stone to Anfield. Now Emery has showed what a proper manager can do. He has bought a 30yr old left back from Spain and the team looks set for top 6 at least. Completely changed Ollie Watkins method of play. Gerard now looks as if he was out if his depth at Villa and won the Scottish league because it’s either rangers or celtic who win up there.
no chance of Gerard getting a top half PL job. Who knows where he will end up. Same with Lampard.

The reasons you explain here is exactly why I’m very sceptical about Kompany and would be very surprised if he ended up being the guy our board chose to be our next manager

Interesting noise about Enrique now coinciding with more noise about Chelsea and Nagglesman...

As others have said we should know more about the Paratici appeal following the hearing tomorrow, I think the club are in limbo until a verdict on that comes to light.

I reckon it is Enrique’s agent putting pressure on Chelsea by saying he’s looking at a job with us on the back of the Nagelsmann news yesterday. Seems like a classic agent move. I doubt we’ve sat down with anyone yet. Meanwhile we know he has spoken to Chelsea as there’s stories that he would have been open to taking over there before the first leg match against Madrid.

Gerrard was successful because of Michael Beale and clearly struggled without him.
Lampard wasn’t successful at Derby and Chelsea never should’ve chosen him.
Kompany, right now, is streets ahead of those two (after their first season) and deserves consideration.
Yes the argument against him is lack of experience at the top level but Mourinho & Conte have proven that’s no guarantee of success.
The club needs a clean sweep, new ideas and a new mentality; if it’s Kompany I feel he’d certainly give us that. Burnley needed exactly the same and whilst the 2 clubs can’t be compared, he’s exceeded expectations massively so far.

 

[Japhet]

May I ask why?
Luis Enrique is not my preferred choice, but he's def the right kind of manager we should be looking for.

I believe every time we need to find a new manager, the discussions turn into a search for our savior, the messiah that will take us to glory. We want the either the most successful one available or the most obscure one in the hope he's an undiscovered gem. Everything in between is meh. Just like with players.

I don't think there's a right choice. All of them have their cons tbf. For the moment I think that we have a good shortlist (although personally I think not considering Gallardo is a travesty) where all of them preach the kind of football we want and need. Luis Enrique and Nagelsmann are the safest choices. Slot more risky, and Kompany a lot more risky.

My fear with Slot and Kompany (from the little I have seen) is that if our team doesn't buy into what they want fast, we are going to receive goals like crazy. One of the reasons we hired Mourinho and Conte is because we were conceding a lot of goals with Poch, and they knew how to set up a team defensively. This doesn't mean I want us to be defensive, but whoever we appoint needs to know that in the PL, if you don't defend well you will get punished a lot more than in the championship or the eridivisie.

I think we'd need a much bigger overhaul to satisfy Enrique than any of the other proposed candidates. Add to that that I haven't been that impressed with anything he's done bar Celta. Barcelona is a free hit and I think Spain were very average and uninspiring under him. I think the other candidates are all more exciting tbh.
