Next Manager Watch

[daveduvet]

Ah yeah, that thing that happens to everyone else and not us.

Hope things are moving towards the positive for you guys -( aware wrong thread etc, but always on my mind )

I’m not ready for good news. Can anyone remember what you do with it?

Not recyclable. Put it in the black bin and it'll get taken away every Saturday afternoon.

I do wonder how generic the interview questions are? For me, if I was Munn, I’d be asking stuff like, “How do envisage implementing a high pressing system that takes into account Kane and Son’s advancing years and need for their workload to be managed?”

it’d be fascinating to hear each candidate tackle something like that in detail.

Why would you ask about a high pressing system? Surely you ask what sort of system the manager uses and what his plans are to get the best out of the players. You then have to decide if his methods are the direction you want to take or not.

someone or something that is positive, encouraging, uplifting, desirable, or the like.

Thought that was banned on here?

I have some major concerns regarding Slot. Struggles to break down low blocks and a lot of emphasis on crossing against them. Think Enrique or De Zerbi is a far more safer option.

Struggling to break down a low block would be huge progress. That would mean teams are having to defend deep against us because we are dominating. I’d be happy to have to figure out that issue.

Not sure where the Nagelsmann predictions are coming from personally.

Plus I also think Slot is the best option anyway, really hope it’s him.

Whilst initially thinking Prof’s info rules out Nagelsmann, actually it doesn’t, he’s on gardening leave at Bayern, he wasn’t actually sacked.

Krosche allegedly coming towards the top of the DoF list having been at RBL at the same time as Nagelsmann could add credibility, especially with Herc’s comment about smokescreen, the uplift in Slot’s stories.

That said, I think I’m just clutching at straws and it’ll obviously be Slot.

I think there is certainly a way you could read it as Nagelsmann. Prof doesn’t mention Slot by name and up until now he’s mentioned him a number of times. He even mentions being vague and really the info isn’t that vague except for the name of the targets. Herc posting earlier about smokescreens and as you say Krosche at the top of the DoF list does certainly suggest JN.

But being realistic, I think it’s probably in regards to Slot. As is posted above i don’t think the gap would be that big between him and JN and all the info we have had thus far suggests things are already quite far along with him.

I still would much prefer Nagelsmann but i struggle to see it at all now tbh.

It makes sense, but I can’t help but think that Nagelsmann does not come across well in interviews, thus I have a hard time thinking he would be that much ahead of a second option (particularly after hearing Slot’s presser today)

Very cool names

 

[LeBonge79]

If we get Slot can we again start to boast that Solskjaer beat us 3-0 and yet we won?

 

[Tucker]

Very cool names

Named after the machines that used to draw out the national lottery balls I believe.

Yeah I think so. They feed him info he posts it when they allow.

 

[jebratt]

So from what we have so far regarding a possible smokescreen, either Slot is a smokescreen for Nagelsmann or Amorim/Enrique is a smokescreen for Slot…? If the latter, why would that be necessary?

 

[Finchyid]

What if the DOF doesn't want one of them?

This all seems a strange way to go about things.

What if the manager doesn’t want the dof?

 

[septicsac]

Never mind Slot, Amorin, JN etc etc the big question here is who has managed to remain a member of Coys.

 

[daveduvet]

Got to the stage now that if we don’t get Slot then I’ll be disappointed. Not so bothered by JN. Gallardo would be a wonderful curve ball. But I don’t think the board are that maverick. Rinsing it thru, YidArne is the one for me. His recent press conference, as an example, shows an huge part of his character: solid, intelligent & dependable
