Who next after Brendan?

[EnderbyFox]

Xabi Alonso for me, no idea about his managerial credentials but it's about time we had some style in the dugout, we've been sorely missing it since Nige's blindingly white trainers. 

 

 

 

What a man.

Now I'm listening. What's his track record at bringing through young players? I could look but I've had a bottle of Malbec

I don't think it is the best at the moment

 

However it is kind of hard to judge it properly because unlike a lot of German teams they don't have a 2nd team to bridge the gap between the young age groups and the first team

 

Would kind of be like if we didn't have an under 23s side

 

From a quick look it does look like he used a lot of youth when he was in Swizterland with Basel, Thun, and Zurich though

Same. 

 

I can't be bothered with one of the usual names. Let's roll the dice and take a gamble. It might pay off.

I think that's a copy of zonal marking at corners for beginners on his coffee table. Swerve.

Pirlo for me , done decent in a short spell at Juv , I’d take a punt on him defo .  Not Gutuso 

Decent? He was a disaster for them

[Molson Canadian]

Pirlo has managed a total of 52 matches in his coaching career. Gattuso has much more management experience, but i don't think either would be a good fit for Leicester. 

 

I would love for Ernesto Valverde to be hired if Brendan goes but might be wishful thinking on my part.  His Athletic Bilbao squad played an attractive high pressing 4-2-3-1

Union Berlin have the oldest squad in the Bundesliga.

 

Christian Streich of Freiburg would be a better fit, has brought through players like Nico Schlotterbeck recently, well respected in Germany and supposedly seen as a great motivator; however he’s been a one man team throughout his career, pulling him out of Freiburg would probably be unlikely.

Yeah just seen about that, it was probably the main reason he didn't get the Spurs job, massive backlash from their fans

 

Historic comments regarding the role of women in football, same-sex marriage and racism

Probably Jimmy Carr as assistant manager then

Urs Fischer gave Schlotterbeck his first consistent run of senior football on loan at Union Berlin last season haha

 

But like I also mentioned it is a lot easier to bring through youth players at a club like Freiburg because they have a 2nd team who currently play in the 3rd tier of German football, much easier for them to be exposed to senior football

 

18-19 year olds at Union Berlin will still be playing youth football, at a club like Freiburg they will be playing senior football

.....likes to play 3-4-1-2, we might have to recruit another two more CBs!!!

[dormelcfc]

From the way we've operated in the past under the owners, I suspect that it would be someone with knowledge of the English game/Premier League.

 

They have never recruited an unknown quantity from abroad in all of their time owning the club so I feel like that could be ruled out.

[LFox99]

Ruben Amorim, Christophe Galtier, Ernesto Valverde, Paulo Fonseca

Decision won't be made before summer anyway.

Sold. Lol

 

We do need a manager who can light a fire under our players arses though to put in a feckin shift.

[Guy]

I don't know if this has already been mentioned but any ideasas to why Sean Dyche was in attendance at Forest on Sunday, other than the fact he started his career there and so is presumably a Forest fan?! Nevertheless I found it interesting him being there, especially with Brendan under a certain amount of pressure, or now becoming so!

[Leicester_Loyal]

Cooper or Mancini are the names I'd love. Potter would be decent as well.

 

Xabi Alonso is a good left field shout.

More likely Dyche is interested in signing acouple of players who are playing at Forest in the summer, there his kind of players with a tough mentality that would be ideal for Burnley.

[Ely fox]

Graham Potter and his entire back room staff (including the defensive coach). I think this wouldn’t cost us ridiculous sums and Potter would leave Brighton.

And what would Brighton do about us trying to nick their manager and all their backroom staff?

Who would you have to replace Potter at Brighton?

There are others in Europe who aren't managing at the moment and are available by the way.

My opinion is Potter is building up Brighton, let him continue

Christophe Galtier.

We need a winner.

We need a champion and he is the one.

Jesse Marsh was very highly rated before the Leipzig failure but he still interreges me

Good manager but I'm not sure he's the one. He uses a translator with the media and has limited English. I know we have a few french players but I think it would be a problem for most of the squad.

Because Brighton are pissing all over us in the league, the cup and in Europe?
