Has one of the highest win % ratio than many of the names mentioned.

 

Graham Potters win ratio at Brighton...28.6%

Just because ownership screwed up and put this manager on a 10M salary doesn't mean they're going to do it again.

Where did I say that? 
 

Most managers would be ecstatic with £50k pw, that’s £2.6m per annum. Lots of wiggle room for a bigger base salary before getting anywhere close to £10m p/a.

Chris Sutton seems to have a pretty good grasp on what Brendan is doing wrong. 

 

Maybe he's available to take over?

If Zidane is going to PSG as reported, I wonder if we have a cat in hell's of getting Poch. I highly, highly doubt it as we're a relative minnow, but if he misses the Prem, I suppose there might be a small chance. Guys? Guys?!

I admire your optimism in terms of his stature but seeing as I'm not even sure we'd be able to nab someone like Potter from Brighton, I think Poch aint gonna happen.

Love it. 
 

Not going to happen, but let’s get it out there and trending…will cheer me up, if nothing else.

I don't think its quite as far-fetched as you think. His stock has dropped quite substantially over the past couple of years.

I really like that bloke. Will be interesting to see what he does next.

 

Mancini is one I have expected us to at least be linked with.

....not Poch, does not seem to stay around too long, and his regime will not last too long here!!!

He works his players a lot more than I think they would like.

If we are going to spend our transfer budget on paying off Rodgers and his team , we will need to sell valuable assets to give a new manager funds to play with. 

[tickler28]

Serious question....if we sack Rodgers and say it costs £35 million won't that mean we won't have much money to spend on new players?

Just can't see Top wanting to do that

Hopefully it is unlikely to cost that much, tend to be clauses and such in place that prevent having to pay out the full value of the contract

Not sure how many times it needs mentioning but it never going to cost us anywhere near this, gardening leave for him and his coaches until he gets another job. His ego won’t allow him to be jobless for long.

There is no way we would pay out in full.

If he's got 3years left on his contract that will be paid over that time and with his backroom staff aswell so we most probably be paying in the region of 12.5 mill so don't think that will effect our transfer budget.

Rodgers' ego would definitely have allowed him to sign a contract stating if we were in the bottom half he's not eligible for anywhere near the compensation he'd get otherwise. I also think his pay is heavily incentivised so i doubt its a straight basic 10m.

But we’d probably end up with Dyche or Nuno.

I think Dyche would be ruled out as there would need to be such a big overhaul to achieve his style of play. I’m sure Nuno would be considered.

[Countesthorpe Fox 1884 12]

No one.

We have four games left and could end up top half, we could also finish about 16th.

This has not been a good season, but Rodgers has shown he can win us the FA cup and Community Shield. (yes i know no one cares about the latter)

We have an absolute plethora of key injuries and last summers transfer window was shambolic. That said he has more than earnt the right to get another summer under his belt and make major changes. I hope that the new head of recruitment is a massive improvement on Congerton.

But it's still an open question for me on Pochettino, he couldn't win anything with a pretty fair Spurs squad (albeit with a dire chairman), and given the talent and seemingly unlimited money available at PSG he was underwhelming there too.

I see him as yet another guy that the media and pundits get wet pennies over (like Rodgers) but doesn't live up to the hype imho.

Easy to discount unfashionable names and roll with the BS.
