I just don't understand sacking your manager this late in the season without having a replacement lined up, or at least knowing who and what you want. Couldn't think of a bigger difference in terms of profiles than March and Rafa. So unprofessional to not even know what you are after.

I, sort-of, understand the Chelsea sacking.   

 

I think it mirrors the Bayern Munich sacking of Nagelsman, where they are not sure that they want to do it, but they are afraid to let their target replacement get taken from them.  While Tuchel was available (but not in demand) Bayern had options and the chance to see how things went, but as soon as Tottenham needed a new manager, suddenly Bayern had to act or risk loosing the chance to hire Tuchel.

 

Same for Chelsea, sticking with Potter as nothing better out there, but once Nagelsman became available, they had to act on Potter or risk Nagelsman going to Spurs and leaving them without a choice.

Cooper get another pop at a PL job next year or think he has to do it all again and bring another team up from the championship? 

 

Don't think he's been Watford manager yet. Could be a good catch for a team who miss out this year.

Wonder if he'd hang around to see how England do at the Euros.

My sense is that he isn't a fucking pansy and lick arse in the same way Southgate and his band of bootlickers are and, in a sense, wouldn't be bending the knee at every available opportunity. 

 

He'd be more likely to take the Wales job if it's an international gig imo, but I think he'd easily do well at a midtable PL side.

I’ve got the same feeling for Nagalseman if he gets it.

 

I like him a bit more. Think he's more versatile with his tactics and formations.

 

But even then could also see him perhaps flop too, yeah.

 

They could very easily get it wrong again, which would be awesome!

Are there still many players there from Lampard's first stint? I can't work out if it would be better or worse either way.

 

I suppose they're just looking at it as a short term solution with someone who has a connection to the club for more of an emotional boost than genuine managerial quality. Could go either way. And I hope that way is complete and utter abject failure that leaves them finishing in the bottom half.

Has this been one of the worst seasons for new manager bounces / quality replacements? De Zerbi has been good but who else?


Emery for sure

Lopetegui, Gracia, Dyche, O’Neil and Selles have improved the teams from what seemed like hopeless situations.

I am not sold on Nagelsmann either, takes a special kind of poor management to not have Munich running away with the league title, got knocked out by Villareal in the champions league last season as well. I hope he ends up at Chelsea or Spurs.
