AjcW Posted 17 May 2023 Share Posted 17 May 2023 If Mowbray genuinely is leaving Sunderland he'd be exactly who i'd go for. Loves playing young players, connected in the loans market, lovely football, worked wonders with a tiny squad and no striker for half a season. Brought an entire club together from more uncertainty after Neil's departure. Also seems to take his jobs solely based on whether they are in the midlands or the north 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We needed to refresh it to keep the squad hungry on the pitch. We didn’t and the hunger went, and so did Rodger’s job (Deservedly he handled it with no class). Possession and/ or control in Modern football is rewarded with results. Look at all the consistent top sides.There’s different ways to achieve that, be it a Liverpool aggressive press that we saw on Monday. Or a Pep controlled low risk buildup working 3/4 high quality chances per game. Anyone wishing for long ball football is living in the past. I don’t know if Russel Martin would be a good manager, but at least he has a style of play similar to what we’re used to and that which our youth sides have been taught to play also (Rob Tanner has mentioned this). I would say though, our fan base naturally buys into high energy aggressive play much more than a laboured style like Russel Martin. So I would go for a manager more aggressive than him out of possession. I was looking into challenge intensity statistics yesterday, it’s astonishing how true that first sentence is. In the 2019/2020 season we led the league in challenge intensity per minute. This season we rank joint 4th from bottom. And I thoroughly agree that a high energy aggressive style is what we need to move towards, possession based football has run it’s course at Leicester City, it finished on a stale note and I’d rather not go through it again under someone like Russell Martin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fazzyfox Posted 17 May 2023 Share Posted 17 May 2023 Please not Lampard. He's not a manager he's just a cheerleader and not a good one at that. He has an enthusiasm that suggests motivation but tactically I've never seen him do anything that's impressed me, formations, styles, substitutions, naïve to the point of being amateur, all talk and no action. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silebyfox_89 Posted 17 May 2023 Share Posted 17 May 2023 Carlos Corberan is probably the best realistic option we could get. Diego Martinez would be the dream appointment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerblod Posted 17 May 2023 Share Posted 17 May 2023 4 hours ago, The Doctor said: not really interested in a debate but "it's a philosophy and way of life" is pretty much a description of a religious creed, you're making a distinction with no meaningful difference Contradicting yourself, bud! I suspect you like being right, but haven't got the energy, inclination or intellect to enter into a nuanced debate about what, to the perceptive eye, are clearly definable ideas. I'm agnostic, going on atheist, with Buddhist leanings. I admire true Christians, but abhor the cross and sword and evangelism and proselytising that's corrupted Christianity from the Middle Ages. So, I don't accept any verity in what you state, but you can have the last word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filberts lovechild Posted 17 May 2023 Share Posted 17 May 2023 Anyone else just really looking forward to the season to end and the circus that is coming of the ins and outs following relegation? Take a step back for a minute and it’s actually one of the aspects of what makes football so great and interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson was not too happy, as Sousa had a big influence with the owners, and eventually took over when Pearson chose to walk away from the club. The person who gained the most from his (Sousa) tenure was Andy King, if only we could have built on Kingy's exploits, and continued to improve his game.

(granted they did very well in the ELC a couple years ago) We could easily be a springboard for him if he really has aspirations of managing an elite club. If Burnley can nab Kompany from Anderlecht then we can take the kettle from bodo bloody glimt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather we stay clear. Not saying he’s a bad manager but just not sure he’d be a good fit for us in our current state! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 17 May 2023 Share Posted 17 May 2023 can't see why there is so much clamour for Tomasson. Decent job with Malmo admittedly but I'm not sure anyone would be interested if Blackburn hadn't beat us. Managed to finish 3 points more than Martin who is being laughed off.
