It’s hard as fuck to win a CL Just would feel more comfortable with somone that has npt always just had a class team always available to him But fucking hell I won't be moaning if he comes.

Current assistant head coach Graeme Jones is set to be placed in temporary charge for the sell-out clash with Spurs live on television. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Probably be easier to point out who hasn’t been linked I think it’s fairly clear, based on the fact there is nothing concrete in terms of managerial links, that they’re not planning to rush this and the Sporting Director role will be in place first. Can see us sacking Bruce on Monday, Rangnick in during the week, Jones in charge on Sunday and the new manager appointed the following week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, very good. Attacking fotball, allways used younger players. I think he lack som tactical knowledge in hard games. He also uses the sub wrong almost 75 % time. But good watching his team.

Favre was an incredibly frustrating manager who couldn't get it done with an amazingly talented roster. He micro-managed the offensive players into being afraid to shoot while leaving the defense in positions to give away stupid goals almost every match. His subs were too late and rarely helped. He also seemed almost in tears on the sideline when things went sideways once the pressure of under-achieving built. With this group of NUFC players and the expectations here? No way. There's been several posts from folks who watch BvB a lot. Hate to quote myself, but can't be arsed to retype it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes23 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Would happily take a potentially flawed foreign manager with a record similar to Favre for the simple reason that it will be easier to move them on if it doesn't work out or we reach a ceiling with what they are able to achieve. The danger you run with any domestic manager and especially a media favourite like Gerrard is the pressure to "give them time" well beyond what their actual achievements may merit, which has the potential to significantly halt some of the momentum that has/will be generated and the level of progress we'll be able to make in the next couple of years.

Dr Venkman Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I don't want much, just someone who: keeps us up this season gets the team playing attractive football, eventually can attract and manage superstars doesn't thank themselves when we sign players.

Holmesy Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 30 minutes ago, ManDoon said: Proven nothing: “He has won 3 Champions Leagues, 2 Club World Cups, 2 European Super Cups, 2 Spanish Leagues and 2 Spanish Super Cups in 209 matches, one every 19 matches.” With a team full of world class superstars that had largely been assembled before he got there. In terms of domestic honours, Real Madrid and Barca pretty much win everything every year anyway. Roberto Di Matteo won the Champions League. Does that make him class? I’ve no doubt Zidane has more managerial ability in his little fingernail than Bruce has, but that doesn’t mean he’s the right manager for our current situation.

rgk_lfc Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 14 minutes ago, SUPERTOON said: Very impressive appointment by the way. Klopp rates him as a big influence. Ragnick appointment implies your ownership is interested in establishing a style of play, footballing identity rather than the Chelsea or City or PSG approach immediately after takeover which was buy every player available. If this goes through and if Ragnick is given control, expect your managers to be from the German Austrian gegenpressing school - Hassenhuttl, Klopp, Marsch, Nagelsmann rather than Rafa, Conte, Mourinho family. Potter and Rodgers could be two local names which fit within that ideology. Ragnick focuses on managers style of play and ethos rather than past trophies or successes. He wants successive managers to be of the same style of play so that there is continuity. Very similar to Rafa - believes in system above individuals, overall holistic improvement of all aspects of the club - youth team, diet, facilities, etc. Biggest difference is the style of play. I just don't see Rafa's pragmatic style of play fitting with Ragnick's footballing vision which is all about front foot, dynamic, in your face attacking football.
