Can imagine that. They stand still during games too.

Find it bizarre any manager would go on holiday during an international break. Aye, senior players may not be around, but I assumed the coaching staff would be working on their tactical approach to the next few matches, as well as everything else a manager should be doing (working with the scouting department, considering improvements, taking a look at the youth products, working with the players still at the club). Wonder if Klopp and Guardiola are in Tenerife.

“And over here Eddie, we have the wheelie bins. Perfect to unwind in after a hard session.”

Fucking hell. It feels weird to have a proper manager again.

Gayle Big Jow Longstaff Hendrick Shelvey Fraser Kraft Clark Dummett Ritchie Darlow —— Buzzin’ for his first team.

We’re gonna sell Paul Dummett in the summer and buy him back in three years for £260m.

If we progress year on year then I’m happy for him to stay as long as it continues to work. Who is to say he won’t grow as we do and essentially become the next top manager?

Never heard of him but gonna go full RTG and suggest he’s absolutely fucking amazing. If the deal doesn’t go through, he’s dogshit.

That would be a great appointment and would be intrigued to see how he does.

Never realised how much that was an issue until this one and the other one recently I always assumed it was fairly common knowledge.

Villa fans better start hoping it’s the Danish coach based on that shortlist.

Where would we have squeezed in work with the fitness coach? The two days of training were already full up.

Most people are judging him on his disastrous spells with both of Cardiff and Man Utd. Pardew finished 5th once. That doesn’t make him a good manager neither.

He won the “got Man Utd into the Champions League with a team worth £500bn” trophy. Which is obviously far, far better than Ranieri’s PL winners medal with a team worth £50.

Brighton are 7th in the Premier League. His win % accounts for keeping that team in the league (where others have failed) and progressing year on year. Don’t disagree too much about your thoughts on Rodgers, or his positioning in your list, my point is that OGS is very badly misplaced in your list.

@Chris_R what do you think of those teams?

You literally said “His record at Man Utd is the third best in their history”. What does that have to do with Potter’s achievements? It was your way of trying to defend Ole’s pathetic Man Utd record. Potter is a better manager because like I said, he’s been at three teams and improved them all. His record in Sweden was good, as was Ole’s in Norway. Nobody has really disputed that. But their overall managerial careers go to show that Potter is lightyears ahead of Ole. I’m intrigued how/why you rate Ole above Brendan Rodgers though, if you could explain that one.

The amount of yards gained when taking throw ins. Such as those that go out by the corner flag and the player than takes it level with the 6 yard box. Secondly, when players flop to the floor after being sneezed on when defending and running backwards towards their own goal line. Thirdly, thick as fuck players who lay a finger on the aforementioned players and allow them to flop to the floor.

Zero trophies and some of the worst performances ever seen? This win % thing is a horrific measure of success when Man Utd’s consistent success only really started under Sir Alex. So Ole is essentially being applauded for having a better win percentage (but less trophies) than LVG and David Moyes (who only got eight months). But a lower one (and again, less trophies) than Mourinho who is constantly called a failure.

Potter has managed three teams and has improved them all during his time with them. OGS has managed three teams and ruined two of them. Molde is the exception with OGS, not the norm.

Probably trying to force a move to Ireland.

Went onto an Everton forum and this is the first post I saw: The reality is this man does not actively manage or coach teams. He simply puts the players he has on the pitch with very limited or possibly no input from himself. He then waits for the next transfer window and sees what that brings. That’s not my definition of a top manager or even an average one.

Poor Jan in the Box Office.

Does anyone have any particular thoughts on the performance of Graeme Jones?

With a far inferior squad.
