AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I'd hope they're already quite far down the road with some existing candidates TBH. If not we're in some kind of trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stal Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Could I ask a wee favour? I've said before that I lost my love for football gradually over the last 14 years and with that went a lot of my knowledge on current players and managers. It's a bit of an ask but any chance anyone could put together a list of the main contenders with their styles, pros and cons? Not War and Peace, just a couple of lines. I'm really not sure who I should be rooting for so I stuck to what I know and picked Rafa in the survey. I'm so out of touch and kinda a little embarrassed to ask.

Expand Fonseca Pros: suave bastard, plays pretty football, his sides are well coached offensively. Cons: his style of play requires players who are comfortable on the ball and full backs who aren't Matt Ritchie, his sides tend to concede a few goals, he hasn't done it on a cold Wednesday night at Burnley. Favre Pros: experience of improving struggling sides, plays decent football, astute in the transfer market. Cons: his sides tend to struggle defensively, his in-game tactics are limited, he hadn't done it on a cold Thursday night at Norwich. Howe Pros: took a league two side and became an established Premier league club, plays decent football, he has done it on a cold Friday night at Huddersfield. Cons: his sides tend to be defensively ropey, he paid circa sixty million quite for Jordan Ibe and Dominic Solanke, he's a soft southerner. Martinez Pros: his sides play decent football, he won the FA Cup, he finished 5th in the greatest league in the whole wide world. Cons: he doesn't know how to organise a defensive unit, he once called Tom Cleverly technically as good as it gets, he has relegated a side and was well on his way to with a second.

manorpark Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I just think it is great that none of these names, or any other news at all about a D o F or Manager/Head Coach, has come from our new owners. No leaks - deliberate or otherwise - have come out at all. Everything we have been told by journalists is (at best) 100% guesswork, or (at worst) 100% malicious rumour-mongering. We are now in high calibre and safe hands . . . so different it is hard to get used to it !!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
