Chelmofox Posted 5 April 2023 Share Posted 5 April 2023 1 minute ago, Mr Mister said: Thomas Frank is someone who would be great for this club. I'd go for him. You will be asking him to leave a well run club currently pushing for a Europa Conference place, to join a team who are nailed on for relegation where you only have a handful of games to turn it around. By all means ask the question, but what sort of nutter is going to do that right now? I agree about Frank, but the time to get him was when we were on 1 point and had just got hammered by Brighton and Spurs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard and with high expectations. He has done well with Sunderland and I think he would give the players a kick up the arse. He is a risk but isn't anyone? Anyone whose listened to Keane as a pundit will know he's pretty limited tactically. But I'm not sure tactics are gonna save us. We need a good man manager who can give the place a lift. I don't know if Keane is the man to do it but I wouldn't rule him out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would either be an upgrade on Stowell/Sadler? Besides, Lampard is apparently taking over Chelsea until the end of the season.

That being said, like with Pearson, MoN biggest success have been when he’s had Walford and Robertson with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an unnatural dislike of Marsch. Something about him really bugs me and i think he got very lucky last season. If between him and Hassenhuttl i would pick Hassenhuttl, but not because i really wanted him. Was ok for Southampton before this season i suppose. Just not an appointment to get excited about. Should have done this ages ago. Agree on that, although probably not a popular opinion, I highly rate Hassenhuttl. Commands drive and effort, gegenpressing style which I think most fans enjoy watching. The issue is when it comes to backing the manager, Southampton really did not spend. about £70m spent in 4 years. Good relationship with Glover. I'd take Hassenhuttl very happily. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's not enough to get a top level job, you only have to look at Paul Ince currently in a Championship relegation battle (I know Reading have had a points deduction, mind).

Yes he was a brilliant player, and a fantastic leader on the pitch. But managing is a completely different kettle of fish, and he would ruin the club.

ClaphamFox Posted 5 April 2023 Share Posted 5 April 2023 (edited) I’ve got it, lads! We bring in MoN, Pearson, Neil Lennon and Cambiasso. When picking the team they take in turns to choose one player until they reach eleven - that’s our starting line-up. Then during the match they get 22.5 mins each to coach from the sideline. Added time is likewise shared equally between them. Edited 5 April 2023 by ClaphamFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of teams with managers who command effort have been hammered. United got beat 7-0, Liverpool conceded 7 against villa a couple of seasons ago. Bielsa has been hammered multiple times. Managers commanding effort in their tactical style and players downing tools aren’t mutually exclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
