Iran Posted 28 May Share Posted 28 May (edited) Seeing Potter's name being tossed around, I really don't like him as a person (think he's two-faced and disingenuous, probably a poor man-manager as well as was shown at Chelsea). But what I will say is that he is a very good coach tactical wise and plays a brand of football that's very pleasing to the eyes. Also reminds me of Jervis Tetch or The Mad Hatter from the Batman for some reason in his demeanor. Edited 28 May by Iran 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymizzit Posted 28 May Share Posted 28 May Corberan or Röhl if we're recruiting from the English leagues. Not as hot on overseas managers. Tbh I just want someone who's not picked off the old tired merry-go-round of 'specialist' Premier League survivalists; I understand Moyes would be pragmatic but Christ I just want to feel something watching my team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mullet1 Posted 28 May Share Posted 28 May Unfortunately, I think David Moyes is the most “obvious” if he were to be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gd4foxes Posted 28 May Share Posted 28 May Wasn't Scott Parker a close 2nd choice to Maresca last year? I would expect our board will revisit and look at him as an option ...However one thing I can say about this club is I have always been surprised by the managerial appointments, especially over the last 10 years+ Sometimes pleasantly surprised and sometimes not, but never the top 3 faves in the betting/bookies odds 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy G Posted 28 May Share Posted 28 May Can’t be bothered to read 51 pages, has Rob Edwards name been suggested? Did a good job with Luton - despite relegation, would need to shore up the defence a bit which is my only concern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACF Posted 28 May Share Posted 28 May Potter would be the best feasible and I think that’s still a massive stretch. Turned down Ajax for Leicester? No chance The state of this place though, suggesting Mourinho and Hoeneß as possibilities 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVFox Posted 28 May Share Posted 28 May Had a dream last night it was Rafa Benitez. It was also announced at the end of a 10 minute presentation on how Top met his wife... not really sure what that means other than I'm psychologically odd. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopharage Posted 28 May Share Posted 28 May Really don't get all this chat for Moyes or Corberan. If he were willing to take it, I'd give it to Rob Edwards. Not because of what he did last year at Luton, but what he's done across the clubs he's worked at. He adapts his team's playing style and formation on the basis of the squad that he's got, he doesn't adapt the team to the playing style he wants his team to play. Seems eminently sensible as he'd be inheriting a squad and a playing style that is hugely different to his Luton team. If we're as hamstrung financially as it appears we may be, then we want a manager who can make the most of the squad he's got and play a style of football that plays to their strengths, rather than some philosophy they have. Luton went down last year firstly because their squad was never good enough, a lot of them had gone through the leagues with them and they had a really bad run of injuries. Our squad has more depth and is significantly better and I think if he got the gig he'd be willing to build on Maresca's blueprint. I really think we're on a hiding to nothing if we get Moyes or Corberan; neither are noted for the possession-based football that our squad has had drummed into them for over a year. They may be pragmatists but that's about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkonline Posted 28 May Share Posted 28 May The Premier League is a massive pull and even lower half table clubs can attract big names in comparison to some of the biggest European ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely spot on ... some passion in the team and fans .... a cross between .Martin O'Neil... Pearson and Roy Keane....

I’m still unsure who to go for but I certainly want to be excited by the appointment, so a massive no to the likes of Cooper edit - having seen cov play with some decent attacking intent and passion I really wouldn’t be adverse to taking Robins, added bonus of the inbred freaks melting down beyond belief Edited 28 May by guest123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you never know, £5m pa is better than none. A job is a job after all (not that he will need to sign on the dole). Part of our issue may be that the best ones are waiting to see what happens at man utd. Before taking a lower salary with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, they can only appoint one. At some point, the rest are going to have to lower their sights. Personally, I think we should decide on any feasible targets, and get on with it. If man utd are in the market so be it, but for us to wait around to see who might be left after the scramble would be stupid. The earlier we can get it done the better.
