Next Manager Watch

[Chimbo!]

Why are people so against Brendan Rodgers? He’s done well at every club he’s been to. Took Liverpool within a slip of Premier League title with a unfancied side, and won an FA Cup with a mid-table team.

his teams do fade and I don’t think he’d last more than 3/4 years, but we go through a manager every year so that represents a success.

we shouldn’t just want the latest shiny new manager. Failing is part of the business. Hiring a manager who’s recently had a bad time doesn’t mean they will be a bad manager. Look at Howe.

Club using social media and their PR to test the waters with managers names. Vote against it. They are deliberately gauging fans reactions.,

It’s get to a point where you’ve got to let the place burn down……….

 

[Yid-ol]

Maybe levy needs to change tactics, stop looking for managers he/we want and just ask managers to come forward if they want the job! Might be quicker than being knocked back by every single one we go for.

 

[Scot-Spur]

We are half the problem, after a couple of days everyone will come round to a Rodgers or Potter appointment. It should be Nagelsmann or Slot and that’s it.

 

[danielneeds]

Not sure Levy gives a monkeys about fan opinion.

That’s not true, he’s often too reactive to fan sentiment and public opinion.

Because what choice is Brendan? Maybe 8th? Why should we be that far down our list? Something must go seriously wrong to appoint an 8th choice.

The way Rangnick was singing like a canary the other day I’d say the DoF role would be quite easily solvable if enough money came his way.. then you’d like to think we’d be a step closer to JN then.

That's the thing, this is all so easy salvageable but he doesn't want to because apparently he knows better than the rest of the footballing world.

It seems no matter how much stick, criticism or abuse he gets, no matter how many crisis' the club go through, no matter long we go without a trophy , Daniel Levy, his mates on the boards and the few people that support them still think the current path he is on is fine and that it's all the fault of the coaches and DOF's that don't want to work with him.

He could go and get a decent German DOF tomorrow who could talk Nagelsmann round but that would be giving up control, that would be admitting that they're wrong and that would lessen the power of the idiots around him filling his head with this bollocks.

It's depressing as he won't go anywhere as there is still plenty of property to build and as a fanbase we won't do what's needed to force him out so we're left hoping that this arrogant man gets lucky for a couple of years until he inevitably cuts the person's legs out and we start again.

When the fans do react positively they won’t go all in for that guy anyway.
(First time I’ve ever written this about any club), so what’s the point.
Our leadership really is dreadful with regards to footballing matters.
As if the fans should have any say in the first place.
It should be clearly known any fan group want a coach, set up that will encourage and train players to perform and succeed.
Levy supposedly understands our DNA.
Shame he doesn’t understand that to get something you want, you have to pay the required to get it.

Yeah let's get this guy in. He's going to be shit. At least Nuno had some pedigree, this bloke hasn't achieved anything. Whittlesea Zebras, fuck me. Nothing in his career makes him look like he will be a good fit for a PL club. He's probably not even a Palace or West Ham level appointment.

We should try for someone like Conte, or Mourinho – wait until you see their wikipedia timelines!

But, I'm being totally serious, and @Now it's Spursonal summed it up nicely a while back, it's worth a read. If – a big IF – he is given the job, I do hope the fanbase will get behind him.

I’d honestly have Postecoglou as my top target ahead of Slot, purely because I believe he is the most sure fire option we’ve been linked to (outside nagelsmann).

He’s prob the most unfashionable pick being from the SPL, and some people will hold the fact that he’s Australian against him. But tactically he’s fantastic and more importantly has had many years of experience to fine tune his tactics and also how he trains people to achieve those tactics.

As you noted, he’s a fantastic character and the players will take to him instantly and will definitely bring back a unity amongst the players that hasn’t been there for years.

With his character aswell, I’m sure he’ll turn the fans that are against him to his side in no time at all. I can remember Nuno winning over fans with a simple “we will make you proud” despite being the most dull manager we’ve ever had. Ange on the other hand is as big and likeable a character as you’ll find. Even more so than Martin Jol was.

He is incredibly highly regarded by the mega successful City Football Group from his time working for them, to the point where those in the know at Celtic fear that Ange would be one of Man City’s first phone-calls if Pep were ever to leave.

His early management style was moulded by a certain Ferenc Puskas, who was his last manager from his playing days. It was from him he became obsessed with all out attacking football, and has categorically refused to setup a team defensively ever since.

This has led to him getting a few hefty beatings in the champions league against the likes of Real Madrid, but his vigour to stand by his philosophy has to be respected.

It was while working as a manager for the City Football Group then that he was thought the ways of Pep football and he started to adjust his tactics to take some key philosophies off of Pep and implement them into his own, such as deploying inverted full backs.

Over the last decade, every club he has gone to he has been super successful if not dominant. His time managing Australia’s National team was very impressive. He’s obsessed with furthering his knowledge of managing constantly. He takes part in weekly video chats with some of the other leading Australian managers from other sports such as rugby, where they all share their ideas.

Apologies for the mega long post, but I’ve seen an awful lot of people be very disparaging about Postecoglou. And I truly feel if any of them took the time to properly look into him and his background, that their opinions would change drastically!

 

[mil1lion]

Maybe we should ask for Gattuso. That will really confuse them.

Why don't I want Rodger?

1. He's a prime twat that has had a long running dig at us over the last 5 years.
2. He just relegated Leicester with a fantastic squad of players.
3. He's the king of losing 4-3 and shows no improvement over a number of years.
4. Smug arrogant twat with a massively over inflated ego.

I get you don't rate him, but what he's achieved at Celtic (and adapting their style of play with limited resources) has been quite impressive.

Is he right for us ... probably not. But he is an impressive and driven character

Dear levy

We have a cock on the stadium and a cock on our shirts. Please can you leave so we don't have a cock on the board also.

OK, we get you dislike Ange, but no need to be such a dick about it

Wasn’t there a pleasant surprise in there also? Happy days.

Then why hasn't he took his seat in the super strength catapult we've prepared for him

His thing is wanting control over recruitment and being terrible at it.

A recipe for disaster at Spurs.

Most of his success has been improving teams others have recruited, which he’s pretty good at.

He’s also an embarrassing and unlikeable personality and has been pretty snobbish about spurs, including gloating at our fans when his Liverpool tonked AVBs Spurs, shortly after he shook hands on the job and snubbed it - and mocked our spending after Bale.

Not a classy guy.
