Next Manager Watch

[southlondonyiddo]

I generally like to keep an open mind about Levy and don't subscribe to all of the tropes thrown at him in here but let's face it he's fucked this manager search like he has previously. The Nuno search was the worst, but Santini, Mourinho AVB have been some of the most obvious mistakes. He doesn't have a strategy, never has and unfortunately for an extremely intelligent and strategic man is so deep in the forest he can't see his own mistakes and change

With friends like you Daniel doesn’t need any enemies!

I’d imagine if Ange chose to come to us then there’s a possibility BR could return to Celtic. This may well happen pretty quickly.

I think the way he left Celtic left a very poor impression on the fans. I don't think they'd be welcoming him back with open arms.

One caveat is Postecoglu was able to use his knowledge of Japan to bring in some bargains who smashed it up in Scotland, but that trick wouldn’t be relevant for the PL.

 

[septicsac]

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

Surely we don't need a super strength catapult to fire Levy into orbit, couple of your other half's old bra straps and an egg cup should do the trick.

Don't have an issue with AP, the same as I didn't have an issue with Slot. However, I do think there are major risks attached to both. The PL is a huge step up in terms of opposition and depth, its a shark tank of the best managers and players in world football.

I don't believe someone with no experience of the PL is unable to do well as we've seen it with other managers at other teams. My concern is the state of our club and how we are at breaking point following years of shit football and constant restarting of projects and managers.

We often talk about Brighton being a great place for players and managers due to the structure and set up. We are the opposite and we need someone to unite the whole club. Ange, Slot or any other manager could do this but they will need a big stroke of luck IMO.

Just to play devils advocate here and I understand this smacks of a board who as usual have no plan to follow but surely gauging fan reactions to a point is a good thing especially given that in seasons gone by they've clearly not thought about fan reactions until the last minute and there is uproar with Gattuso for example.

Some cynics will say our fans are clueless but I think the majority of our fans maybe a good 80-90% just want to see a manager who is more aligned with our clubs DNA and attractive attacking footballing philosophy, is a fairly likeable character and one who can build a new project for us.

So Naglesman ticks that box, Postegoclou ticks that box, go and get one of those (not that I think for one minute they will).

I think it would be sensible to check if there are any vehement ‘anti’ that person feelings. All large companies do market research in relation to all sorts of things.

I just don't understand the Ange hate. He's essentially the same candidate as Slot. I was firmly behind Slot and am also firmly behind Ange.

I would wager 95% of people on here had never heard of Slot 6 months ago.

Apart from the age gap, there really isn’t much of a difference between Ange & Slot.

I was thinking about this, I was quite disappointed that Slot wasn't going to be done, not majorly because I learnt my lessons from last time to make sure not to feel that somebody was who we needed for certain but based on what he'd done at Feyernoord, style and personal management skills, he seems a good fit.

Amorim was mentioned and I felt underwhelmed but I think that underwhelm only comes from our collective pushing forward of a name compared to another, there's nothing really tangibly that I could point too. Tactically more underwhelming possibly but I think a large amount of whose the right guy, whose underwhelming simply manifests from bouncing off of one another.

Ange sounds good to me, I do have concerns about the quality of the scottish league in terms of; Celtic are a big fish in a small pond where as Slot with AZ and Feyernoord were underdogs, particularly in europe but as you said, not heard of either 6 months ago.

Totally agree but I think they would soon forget about the past if he was to come back and dominate Rangers again.

Going by what Herc’s said we’ll be fucking lucky if it’s Ange. If he’s got half a brain he won’t go near us and ruin his reputation.

I’m really getting worried for how next season is going to look. Even if Kane stays, could see it being a similar situation to Eriksen’s last 6 months with us and right now Kane’s been the difference between us and being where the likes of Everton are this year.

Agree Ange won’t touch us if he’s sensible, only possibility would be his previous ties with Scott Munn.

But if Ange won’t go near us and we can’t get JN, Slot, Kompany, Alonso, Amorim etc etc then I’m still telling you all it could end up being someone like Glasner who is out of work and needs a job and would jump at the chance of a PL job regardless of the Levy issues.

The reason I say this is I don’t think Potter or Rodgers would even be that interesting so the longer this goes on AGAIN, the more we will scrape the barrell.

Is Martin O’Neil available though?

I just don't understand the Ange hate. He's essentially the same candidate as Slot. I was firmly behind Slot and am also firmly behind Ange.

Ange has been dismissed as not good enough prior to arriving at every club he’s gone to, yet has completely turned around every team he’s been involved with. This includes irrational hate within his own country.

The guy promotes new players, refuses to play anything other than attacking football, and doesn’t give a shit about personalities who may be considered as ‘above’ him.

The biggest issue seems to be that people can’t pronounce/spell his surname.

Yea Amorim isn’t a particularly bad option but he is when compared to the excitement that JN, Poch, Slot, Big Ange would bring.

It’s like saying you’ll holiday in the Maldives or the Bahamas or Mauritius etc and then they all become not possible and you’re off to Portugal or Spain, it’s a decent solid holiday that on its own you’d have been excited about but when there was a possibility to go to all those other nice places and we were ‘with the travel agent close to transferring a deposit for the Maldives’ then suddenly that holiday option to Spain or Portugal doesn’t seem quite as exciting.

This is partly modern day instant gratification online with so much news and constant media updates but it’s also partly because there is so much indecision with Levy and has been for so many years that we are all just so tired of it.

It like just bloody pick one and commit to it and get it booked, they’re all good options in their own way! But if we are not careful we will end up with a coach trip to Bognor Regis as all the other holidays will refuse us or be fully booked.

It’s analysis paralysis from Levy, it’s a lack of ability to relinquish control and it’s a lack of fundamental football and sporting strategy understanding and planning and execution.

Martin O'Neill had the greatest player in Henrik Larsson though

Is Martin O’Neil available though?

Transfermarkt says retired, younger than Roy Hodgson though

People can't even spell Rodgers correctly despite him living in their heads rent free.

Some of these are also skewed by the absence of Rangers for a few years.
