Next Manager Watch

[EQP]

It was an English reporter asking English questions and Slot answered in English

Ahhh, I see. Majority of the interview was in Dutch, I missed that small snippet with the English reporter.

 

[Wig]

he definitely wants to come, seems like the big next step in his career progression

In his best impression of Steve McLaren.

 

[longtimespur]

I was all in for Gallardo until people started convincing me how great a Spors/Naglesmann combo would be so changed my vote on here the night before the news we weren't interested came out.
I've now voted for Slot so I fully expect him to be ruled out next!
As long as it's not Rodgers though I'm happy although less so if it's Enrique

SO back on Rodgers then to be sure

 

[Zeb]

Unless you have Barca/City level technical players you're going to struggle to break down a well coached low block. That's the point of a low block.

They're bastards in Tetris too...

 

[sidford]

He was on the daily debrief podcast and was pushing for Rodgers as his first choice. Also said Kane would stay next season but then stayed silent about what would happen after that

 

[rossdapep]

If they really like Slot (there's a reason he's high up on the list) and he wants to come, then it shouldn't matter who comes available now.

That's your man, don't deviate

 

[curlacious]

He really does come across well. Quite charismatic. The sort of character we need.

 

[JCRD]

I am enamoured by his bald head. As someone who really doesnt want to let go of the faint hair I have left, I take a lot of heart from Slots head (so shiny and smooth)

 

[Metalhead]

Forgive me but do you understand Dutch? How were you able to understand what was said?

Vibes.

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

does well to manage that barrage of gotcha questions, too.

 

[riggi]

Rodgers is about our level anyway. Don’t really see the issue.

 

[GobbyJJ]

I'm in love

 

[A Bit Much]

I am enamoured by his bald head. As someone who really doesnt want to let go of the faint hair I have left, I take a lot of heart from Slots head (so shiny and smooth)

I'm sure arne will feel welcome if he comes to a stadium full of shining bald heads next season, so go for it!

The sun's reflections off the bald spurs faithful could put off some opposition fans too.

 

[Metalhead]

He understands the language of love which is what Slot communicates in non verbally always... that smile...

That Kojak cool. Who loves ya baby?

 

[muppetman]

Must admit, he's come across as a very likable character who's respectful to the loaded questions and with the answers given considering he's still employed with Feyenoord.

Good vibes off him for sure.

Didn't he fuck up the last managerial move? Went too early and upset them - if so, I suspect he really doesn't want to do that again.

Good to see.

 

[curlacious]

Some more from the same press conference. Talks about the importance of not just winning, but the way you win.

 

[The Apprentice]

Are we at the psychometric stage of the interview process yet?

A little bit of Myers-Briggs.

 

[Yapptiestrap]

what's wrong with crosses particularly if you have the best header of a ball in the world playing up front for you - get the ball in the box from out wide or the by line still creates more goals than trying to thread your way through and its generally better to watch

Nothing if it works. It suggests a lack of of a plan B though. The PL has many more brighter tactical minds than the Dutch league so if you think that will cut the mustard then you’re incredibly naive.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Well handled. I think things like how he handles the press are a good indication of his man management skills, and to me, that is as big a component to managing a big club as tactics.

We could do a lot worse than to have him here - and given our history, we probably will.
