GeordieDazzler Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) We'd need to be a few years further down the line for Conte. He's a bit like Mourinho he likes to take over a stellar squad and improve it. At this level anyway, I know he managed some smaller clubs pre-Juve.

Either way it won’t matter since he’ll be gone soon. It's not possible for Shelvey to step up unless he somehow acquires a new set of lungs. He might get through until January, then surely any manager who wants to compete at the top end of the league will bin him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) 37 minutes ago, hakka said: That's a chicken and egg situation. How can we attract top players and be in a top 4 battling position to attract a manager capable of becoming such a thing? - if Conte gets what he wants he will come and can do it. It's absurd to say otherwise. ...because we're probably not going to attract top players or be battling for the top four for a couple of years at least.

We can attract top 4 players, just have to pay them over the odds like Chinese clubs or citeh in the early years. Rather we didn’t personally. Whether we challenge with them or not is a different story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Personally speaking I'd rather try to attract young talent from the lower leagues and teams around us (similar to how Spurs used to operate) than overpay for has-beens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A week ago he was my first choice based on it being about the ceiling (probably above it tbh) of what I’d have expected from an Ashley replacement if he sacked Bruce. Don’t think there is a ceiling now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think if we’re going to get to the very top we’ll see a combination of both. We’ll probably see a few over-the-top signings who don’t amount to much here just to get the ball rolling.

SUPERTOON Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 If we are serious about going down the sporting director route, is it fair to say we won’t see any movement on this front until then? Especially considering there is another international break coming in a month? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weezertron Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 How annoying it is that Rafa was interested in all avenues of the club and the city. I would like a manager to have this quality but I’d imagine it’s somewhat rare. I just hope if we get a top draw manager in that only cares about what happens on the pitch, there will be others at the club to oversee the development of other areas.

nbthree3 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I really like Dortmund's II manager, Huddersfield took Wagner and Siewert from them so it's a mixed bag.

McCormick Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I’d take Favre but not sure we have the technical ability in the squad right now to execute his philosophies. Although, that could be said for a lot of big name managers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbthree3 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 90min There is little suggestion at this moment that Jones could be appointed permanent manager, but he is popular with the players and sources have told 90min that he could very well be trusted to take the role until the summer, particularly if manages to keep the club well clear of the relegation zone, where they are currently stationed. Conte also said through third parties he wouldn't be ready according to this - but knowing he takes jobs in the summer this could work until a long term manager is appointed. Risky but you never know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Absolutely no chance I would give jones the job until the end of the season. These articles are written as if Ashley is in charge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
