Winstonthedog Posted 30 May Share Posted 30 May 2 hours ago, Pliskin said: I agree with you on terms of the squad. I think our squad is better than forests, Bournemouth’s, Brentford’s at the very least! And with some clever additions it will only get stronger. However, what we need is a manager who can maximise the potential within the squad. Sometimes the idea of a “sensible appointment” isn’t always the right one, we need a sound appointment, someone who will go about their business regardless of the potential issues off the field. Someone like CC has proved he can do that, he took Huddersfield to the playoffs and WBA, the latter without spending a dime, which is impressive. Can this be translated to the EPL? It’s a gamble of course, but he’s proven he can work under restrictions and get some success so he clearly has something about him. Managers like RVN are more of a gamble I’d say, even though they’ve worked at arguably a higher level, they’ve less experience than CC working under pressure. I think despite the mess we appear to be in, the club will make a good decision, they’ve rarely got the managerial appointments wrong, I’d argue Puel, Rodgers and Maresca were all hired at the right time for the right reason…. Only Smith was the odd one out because they gambled on a potential ‘Villa’ like escape….. that might have worked if it wasn’t for the mess he inherited. Lucrative sponsorship deals and the sale of fringe players should give us more wiggle room than people think in the market. Let’s not forget that the decade we’ve had would have most definitely generated some good contacts within the game…… so providing we get the appointment right, even with a deduction I still think we will be fairly comfortable next season, whilst flirting with the bottom three. The next appointment needs to be what the club needs, over what we want. Better at what ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a reason why elite clubs don’t appoint managers cut from the same cloth as Warnock. What you need is for the players to be inspired, which they weee under Enzo, and he’s not remotely like Warnock. I want a manager who can inspire the players through their philosophy, not through fear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking only of next season and all of the uncertainty and crap we will have to put up with until the club is stabilised... we were fortunate enough to bounce back up a the first attempt.... we will not be so lucky next time .... do not want to return to the yoyo years .... philosophy is great so long as its adaptable to changes ...

Possibly by january if they stick with eth for the start of the season: To be fair, that will mean he's been successful with us, so I'll take that. Obviously we all love Leicester City, but any decent manager will have bigger ambitions (see Maresca, Enzo) and we have to accept that. That's not small time by the way, that's just football. Probs only a handful of clubs who can keep a really successful manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 30 May Share Posted 30 May RVN feels a bit too raw for me at the mo. I don't mind a gamble but this feels as much about the name as anything else. His record as a player is irrelevant and shouldn't be a talking point at all really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch Posted 30 May Share Posted 30 May 11 minutes ago, FoxinNotts said: Please explain? I genuinely think the players we have can play in most formations. In fact, Enzo was alienating players because he was too rigid in his way of playing Well... He plays with a double pivot of a 6 and and 8. If Ndidi stayed, him and Winks would be the 6's. That's fine but KDH is the only #8 so we would need one of those. He plays one winger wide and one coming inside to play alongside the #10 (which we would need 2 of). I think that would be OK ideally with Fatawu the former and Mavididi the latter but each would need a backup. The problem comes in defence. Similair to Enzo, the 4 becomes a 3 with one FB tucking in but instead of moving into CM, the other FB takes up the wide space that the winger vacates when he moves inside. I don't think Ricardo's body can cope with that role anymore. Part of the reason he was fairly healthy this year was that he played a role that was more forgiving but if he doesn't play that role and we instead have VK do it on the left (which would be ideal given that I'd prefer Mavididi coming inside) where does Ricardo fit in? JJ would be the preferred RCB for me. Not to mention, he likes a high press which doesn't suit the pace of any of our CBs. Don't get me wrong, I like the sound of the system, I'm just not sure how it fits to our squad. This is ofcourse assuming he would play the same system. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
