Who next after Brendan?

[Muzzy_Larsson]

A bit from left field and a win or bust type appointment but Marcello Gallardo would be an interesting choice.

Graham Potter in the summer after Brendan walks into another job

[Lambert09]

I could see us going for Thomas Frank. Probably would fit us well. 
 

not sure if he would actually come though if brentford are still flying 

[filthyfox]

Gary.... Megson?

If folk are annoyed at the football Rodgers plays the now then you ain't seen nothing yet in terms of Gerrard, as negative and pragmatic as they come in terms of playing style.

Great shout.

[matty98]

Christophe Galtier for me

[Lcfc82]

I think we would go for Lampard

[Corky]

Potter is not leaving Brighton for us.

 

For all the justifiable criticism of Rodgers we need to be careful about how we are viewed. Sacking a title winning manager then a cup winning manager soon after each achievement isn't a great look for potential new recruits.

 

The absolute ideal solution, avoiding all risks, if for Rodgers to get us going again.

Just someone who would play a system that gets the best out of the skill set  we have.

 

 

 

it’s just no use  playing Vardy on his own any more..he’s not got the legs for it.  I should add that I know he’s started the season well but I seriously doubt he can keep this up all season. 
 

 

it feels like we are playing boring football and I’d like it to be a bit more attacking.

Not shit stirring at all. As @Ric Flair said, we talk about potential transfers and players coming and going, why can't we do the same for managers? 

In fact, maybe I worded things a bit poorly, and for what it's worth of course I back Rodgers and want him to pull us out of this rut we seem to be in currently.Perhaps I should have said, in terms of succession planning, whenever Rodgers does go, who should we be looking to bring in and what direction do we want to go in?

No chance he leaves Nice in the next year unless he flops, which he won't.

It's funny how there's a general consensus you should never discuss future managers but it's fine to discuss future transfers in and out.

 

If and when Rodgers goes, we don't need a stop gap to steady the ship we need another manager who is better than average and can continue trying to progress this club. We aren't yet as assured in bringing managers in as we perhaps are at building success behind the scenes but maybe I'm being a little unfair. Rodgers has been a hugely successful appointment and you could argue Puel was good for certain things that go unappreciated but he was the pits and Shakespeare on a permanent deal was poor as well. So it's still very much a massive unknown on what the club would do when Rodgers goes. Having to pay him off would be unthinkable and would then likely leave us looking for managers currently out of work, which I could see us turning to Frank Lampard. 

 

I'd like a future manager who is renown for aggressive football and not afraid to build his team with an edge, ideally he'd have a great track record at developing young players too. I've long admired the football Roger Schmidt gets his teams playing, likewise Marco Rose.

 

If we want a piece of work then Gattuso would be box office but there's unfinished business here for Cambiasso, he needs a gig before coming here though IMO.

No, I think the general consensus is discussing the new managers when you have a manger who got 5th place and won the ****ing FA Cup, whilst having a massively injury hit squad is a bit ridiculous at this moment in time.

Would he be tempted?

He'd take one look at this forum and rather take his chances managing Roma.

All this after drawing a couple of matches, I dread to think what it will be like if we actually lose. My expectations for this season were fairly modest but if we hang about the middle of the table until say February and finish strongly we could still make top six.

[Haywood_6]

This could be an unpopular one. But Chris Wilder.

Still not out the realms of possibility his position could be under scrutiny either by our owners or by himself if another club came in for him. We can't dress this up, it's an extension of our 2nd major slump. We've seen how quickly success can turn at this club, I really hope he turns it around. He's the best manager we've had in many a year.

Bring him home…

I’m still in the Rodgers in camp but if/when he does leave I’d think we’d look at coaches with pl experience so Potter, Hassenhuttl and Koeman. 
Can’t see Koeman lasting much longer at Barcelona. 
Not convinced with any of them.  I’d like us to go for Mancini but can’t see him coming here. 
The completely left field ones I’d go for would be - Galtier, Farve and Gallardo.
