Phenom Posted 29 May 2023 Share Posted 29 May 2023 Why would we want Smith? The goal is to get someone who can help rebuild the club and get us out of the Championship and set us up for success. I think we need to take a risk with a higher ceiling hire like Burnley did with Kompany. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox_favourite Posted 29 May 2023 Share Posted 29 May 2023 I think the club will try and fail to get potter. But they need to look further afield. Get someone in who knows about recruitment of managers and coaches. Get a coach with a clear direction, style and can develop players. They are out there, but you need a football man to find them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted 29 May 2023 Share Posted 29 May 2023 2 hours ago, Stinky said: Big hint really is what we did after binning Rodgers, which was this weird fixation with the Red Bull model. Most if not all of the names on Sambiasso's list have been involved with them in the past. honestly wouldn't be too bothered by that. the club as a billboard thing is vile (although let's be honest, King Power have done the same to us for the most part, just not the club rename) but they do have at least a solid footballing plan and progression idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Quorndon_Fox Posted 29 May 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 29 May 2023 I’d take Lampard, had a good run with Derby in the Championship, laid the foundations for Chelsea to win the champions league. Never really stood a chance with Everton and just joined the list of destroyed managers. Probably shouldn’t have gone back to Chelsea who seem to be all over the shop at the moment. would certainly have the relationship with quality players we need to attract to get straight back out of the champ. 2 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to take a risk with a higher ceiling hire like Burnley did with Kompany. I agree with this view. Smith may have improved performances slightly, but his decision (if I am right) to get a point from Newcastle was misplaced, when it was unlikely to matter if we lost: a win was needed. Moreover, even if he he were to get promotion next season, I cannot see him being a PL manager. Some may want to appoint him but the board should be confident in any appointment that the manager can continue from promotion into a successful PL career., otherwise incumbent manager will get sacked (because of performances). I have already suggested a younger manager is needed, such as Mckenna (who has been a youth coach at City) or Wellens (who has played). Not that having a connection is important: there may be overseas managers who could do a good job. I just hope whoever appoints does a better job than recent player recruitment.)

Beachyboy Posted 29 May 2023 Share Posted 29 May 2023 1) Michael Duff 2) Mark Robins 3) Mc Kenna 4) Dean Smith I think a guy who has played in the premiership whilst also having the grounding of some lower league playing/managerial experience is what we need. Thinking we are better than what we are is how we got into this mess. Need someone who has a point to prove as a coach/Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KP Fox Posted 29 May 2023 Share Posted 29 May 2023 Graham Potter and nobody else. He is a multi millionaire now but I think he would come to us. We are his type of club.

JimmyC74 Posted 29 May 2023 Share Posted 29 May 2023 Lampard is damaged goods. Not sure it’s a great idea to let him repair his career with us - could you imagine the pressure on him / the team if we started slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SB87_LCFC Posted 29 May 2023 Share Posted 29 May 2023 Will Still - finished 11th in Ligue 1 with Reims, don’t think the compensation package would be too costly and given our current financial predicament (apparently) it may just work. young, hungry, wants to manage in England, would be a good fit imo. I think we need to look at a long term plan, we’ve chucked stupid money at managers and look how that worked out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
