Tbh, Faes, Souttar and VK were all the regime and, in terms of value for money, I think offer hope. They were also responsible for Tete though, who is second only to Adrien Silva as the weakest, slowest, most effete player in serious professional football 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkenzo Posted 2 June 2023 Share Posted 2 June 2023 1 hour ago, Matt said: Rodgers got us to 4th for 2 whole seasons, falling to 5th on the final day of both seasons. Come the turn of the year, the second halves of each season were awful to watch with tippy tappy shite though - I'm not sure the first halves on a whole were that amazing to watch if i'm honest. Disgusting, boring, insipid, nonsense style. He left two months ago. You can let it go now, you might feel better about yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkenzo Posted 2 June 2023 Share Posted 2 June 2023 Given fans don't want managers on the slide, Farke has been sacked today so I guess that rules him out. (sorry if I'm slow to the party and this is the reason he's being spoken of, I've only just found out lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he further tarnish his reputation coming to our comedy cuts club at the moment ? If West Ham come for him , then he'll more than likely go there. We're probably a better shout than Palace (although a decent club) because, long term, we could get him where he wants to be, and vice versa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxxed Posted 2 June 2023 Share Posted 2 June 2023 Next season: Don't care. Put Huth on a managerial course. The season after: Huth as assistant. The next season: Huth. I think we're got to the point where, in lieu of any realistic optimism, my fantasy of Huth successfully making his way, post-playing days, amid a club in crisis, only to pull us out of the crisis, being reunited with Fuchs and other Premier League winners, and back into the Premier League, is my coping mechanism. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not more attractive than half the Premier league due to them being in the Premier league 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't even have to be that good and you can succeed at Brentford as head coach due to the incredible work behind the scenes. It's an opinion based thing though I suppose, so utterly pointless arguing. I have started typing though, so may as well see the post through 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which clubs are more attractive in the prem ? Big 6 + Newcastle + Brighton (infrastructure is superb) + ?? Villa? I struggle after that as I maintain in a 3-5 year window we can still be a Top 8 side with the infrastructure to compete for European spots - most of the other sides in the prem would take survival every season and no more. we totally screwed up with Rodger’s and lessons need to be learnt but I genuinely believe Top will harbour the same ambitions if not they will be even stronger but our infrastructure is better to go again we just need a great manager with more than one plan and ambition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinterdream Posted 2 June 2023 Share Posted 2 June 2023 I can't see Potter coming to us unless we've lost our minds and offering him a Rodgers style contract. I myself can't see past Rafa Benitez as the perfect fit. good win rate. has brought a team up from the championship. Has kept teams up on a budget. Has European pedigree. Has real football experience, would be good to offer Top advice on footballing matters. Knows a player and how to build a squad.

If you're talking about an experienced player in their early thirties who's only thinking about the next couple of years, we'll only be more attractive than a handful of clubs. Same goes for managers signing on a short term basis. Where it starts to get more interesting is where we're selling the club to prospective young managers and players as a long-term project. Potter is a project guy, snd that does put us one up on about half the Premier League. If you're thinking about the next five years, will we still be below Luton, Bournemouth, Fulham, Sheffield United, Palace, Forest and Burnley in the pyramid? If you're a young player, who's going to develop your talent? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
