StevO Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 The more I think about Lampard the more I’d like to see him come in. Worked at Chelsea with a transfer ban and just lost Hazard and got them to fourth place. Then didn’t do as well with lots of money to spend. Did a good job at Derby too. He’s also available so can be in the door quickly. Will certainly want to play on the front foot. If Rooney keeps Derby up I’d be all over him for the next manager after this one. Not a clue about any managers abroad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghoat Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 At this point, I wanna see Big Dunc have a 20 game audition for the job. Maybe he's ready, maybe he's not. but this is a great time to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BedfordBlue Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Not the right time to go with a manager with zero experience so definitely not Ferguson, to early for Rooney even if he is doing a good for Derby but would rather him than Ferguson.

Bailey Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 I just want to see a manager come in and play direct attacking football with pace, width and intensity, who then defend with that same intensity to win the ball back high up the pitch.

Aidan Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 1. DF for a few games to see how he gets on, then more if he does well and re-evaluate in the summer. 2. Potter. Plays good football, wants to build something special and is doing so on a limited budget at Brighton. Might bring Bissouma. 3. Lampard. Did well on a limited budget (granted it was at a powerhouse of a club) and might be able to bring in a few bigger names to the club. Not really fussed about him but I'm also not too well up on internationally based managers. 4. Nuno. Ideally over Lampard but I think he aims to be heavily involved in a lot behind the scenes and I'm not sure the board will be prepared to give him that amount of control. None of Morinho, Rooney, Biesla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like Graham Potter Don't disagree in theory, but... we have gone through what, 5 managers in the last 6-7 years. You have to wonder how attractive the job is to a manager who may be at a smaller club, but with more stability. All of those recent managers have been experienced EPL managers, and they collectively got us...what? One backdoor qualification to Europe from 7th place? I think just about anyone on this board could manage us the rest of the way and keep us between 17th-12th. Ferguson does have a little experience, so I'd have no problem whatsoever for him to have the job the next 4 months. If he impresses, great. If he doesn't, there should be a list of 3-5 manager ready to start working on come late May. Just seems to me that it would be the most stabilizing choice for the fanbase and maybe the club as well, and has almost zero risk. The last thing I'd wanna see is another fiasco like when we were trying to hire Silva during the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUnderToff Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Lucien Favre is high on mine. Out of Work. Trilingual (at least). Known for being tactically astute, and imparting that on players. Good man manager (see Balotelli). Teams are good defensively and play attractive attacking football. Players improve under him and he has notably done well with a number of young players, he's supposedly very big on really smashing them on the training pitch. Biggest selling point for mine is that he's turned lower half and even relegation teams into champs league spot contenders. He won't win us the league, but think he'll hopefully turn us around and stabilise us for a couple of years. Chach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaidharper Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Going to be a tough ask for anyone that comes in. Most likely won't be appointed in time to get in a player this window, so will have to some how sort out our defense. Wonder if we shouldn't just stick with Dunc for the rest of the season. Would have proper time in the summer to sort out our next moves. Plus we would know what league we would be in. Also, time to figure out if Moshiri is ever going to hire a DOF or let a DOF do his job. Rather worried. That Leeds result did not help either.

Zoo 2.0 Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Rumour has it that Jose Mourinho has turned an approach down.

Newty82 Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Oh Roberto Martinez. Roberto, Roberto, Roberto.... I still hurt when I see his name. I get this feeling of wanting to grab him and say 'for fuck sake Roberto, this club is yours, stop being so stubborn...' He had it in the palms of his hand. We loved him. Lovely bloke. Smooth. Honest. But he couldn't bloody see what he had. It was upto him. His destiny in his control...we were pretty much begging him to see what he had and change his ways just a little bit. Gutted that he didn't. My thing is has he learnt since? I'm not sure he has when watching Belgium. And that's a problem with the intensity of the PL.

Wiggytop Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 And so the merry go round starts once again, I think we may have missed the chance of Potter, he should have been the appointment we made last summer.

Cornish Steve Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 My dream choice would be bringing Roberto back with Baines given responsibility for defence. Potter would be a good second choice. Reality is, though, that neither would accept the job, and I wouldn't blame them. This is why I ruled them out as I pondered over this. Rooney just doesn't have the experience yet: He needs to prove his worth as a manager. On the other hand, I have not written off Lampard because I thought, under the circumstances, he started really well. This is why I suggested a couple of days ago that a practical option might be to bring in Lampard solely for the rest of the season. Give him every reason to succeed and prove his worth, but don't commit to a long-term appointment. Then, take the rest of the season to line up a long-term successor.
