Crinklyfox Posted 4 April 2023 Share Posted 4 April 2023 The PL is the top league in Europe. Managing a PL team must be an ambition for most managers. We're a PL team that has decent resources, great owners and a squad that realistically should be much higher in the PL. In the recent past we've been challenging for European competitions. It's a no brainer. There should be a raft of managers who would love the opportunity to manage City. We can ignore those that don't. Top's only problem should be choosing which one, and how quickly he can get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 4 April 2023 Share Posted 4 April 2023 Just seen you can get 40/1 on Shakespeare. I’ve championed him before given he’s worked with current backroom team and has done the caretaker role very well before when were in a similar state (much worse now). Worth a punt imo.

It kinda gives a 4 game bounce and they might well be the key points to staying up. There is a clever boy under those matchboxes… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only issue with betting markets is most say 10 game minimum to class as next permanent manager. Won't be appointed before tonight leaving 9, any interim wouldn't qualify without staying on into next season 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would prefer Pearson + Shakey.

Verumex Posted 4 April 2023 Share Posted 4 April 2023 Why don't we give it to Tielemans? Some have been calling him a "coach on the pitch" already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterpool Posted 4 April 2023 Share Posted 4 April 2023 (edited) I'm expecting it to be Rafa, the board wanted him before Rodgers but he chose to stay at Newcastle a little longer. Would he be the right man at this time? Well he started off well at Everton, won 4 out of his first 4, but went on the decline soon after. Went in at Chelsea when they were only sitting 7th and got them to finish 3rd and win the europa league come may. Went to Newcastle with just four games to go, problem was they five points from safety. But I seem to recall despite going down they remained unbeaten in them final four games, including hammer Tottenham on the last day. Just went in there too late. But for the next few years at Newcastle, he got them promoted and comfortably kept in the premier league on a small budget. Negative I'm not sure he would be a suitable long term option, plus i'm not sure he'd stand for the no transfer fee rule we seem to have now.

Chrysalis Posted 4 April 2023 Share Posted 4 April 2023 Looking at oddschecker, the only two I think would obviously improve us are powell or shakespeare (we need more guts and direct play). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guesty Posted 4 April 2023 Share Posted 4 April 2023 I'd only take Shakspeare if we've exhausted a lot of other options. And it would be a big indictment on the board. The main reason he was briefly successful was because he knew all the players. He doesn't really know any of these players; it isn't even the same training ground. A lot has changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeg67 Posted 4 April 2023 Share Posted 4 April 2023 In all seriousness, Hütter is a pretty hardcore 3-4-3 guy and that would be a big shock to the system with 10 matches left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm slowly starting to wonder if the reason she's here is because they don't want her anywhere near the actual King Power business. We've had a lot of success under them. Which seems to be down to appointing managers that take control of a club, doing their job for them and getting lucky. If Rudkin is still there after this debacle it's clear the board are clueless. Showing loyalty to Rodgers is admirable I suppose. But having no idea or plan who to replace him with is a dereliction of duty. Yes that last sentence is damning,but I suppose they belief in giving success some support in bad times…They tend to have history in this valuation… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumbleFox Posted 4 April 2023 Share Posted 4 April 2023 I’m not saying we should go for Potter, but IF he’s on our radar and IF the board want him then we need to go all out, make him feel special and genuinely agree to a long term rebuild. After his Chelsea time I reckon a club that makes him feel valued will appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted 4 April 2023 Share Posted 4 April 2023 Anyone good wouldn't want to be temporary. Anyone temporary wouldn't be good. And anyone REALLY good wouldn't want to potentially manage in the Championship next season. The best outcome would be to somehow see out the season with caretakers, squeaking above 18th, and then reassess in the summer when out status is assured. In the summer, if we're still a Prem team, I think we would be appealing to Potter/Frank or someone similar. I feel like we'll panic and go for a Rafa type though, and I can see that sealing us relegation in the next year or two. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
