I’m a few years once someone else has sorted it, and got their finances straightened out. There’s no way Pep will want to be there with little chance of silverware and title hunting to add to his CV, no matter how much he loves the club.

Awaymag Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) Wouldn't it be refreshing if Amanda came out tomorrow and said something like ' Media have linked us to 40 managers and 100 plus players so far but just want to say to NUFC fans that they should ignore everything they write as we haven't started to look yet as we are focused on getting a DOF in' Would just love that as all of it is clearly bullshit!

nbthree3 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 A sporting manager before a manager is the right way imo, I can trust Jones to handle the team for a few games at most. Sporting manager 1st gives them a chance to have a say over the manager, so a Rangnick figure can put someone he trusts to play the gegenpress as manager (his Russian side have just appointed Gisdol for example) rather than it be the other way round and potentially conflict. And give Rangnick whatever he wants Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumbheed Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) Jorge Jesus has always intruiged me. What's he upto nowadays? Surely he'd fancy a bash in the PL?

Ketsbaia Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Would've been shocked if Rodgers ditched Leicester for us - they'll be ahead of us for another 2 or 3 years and I'm not surprised Man City are interested, he's really good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will need a sensible period with Jones as Caretaker Manager to find the very "best Director of Football" in the world (the best name is already being regularly mentioned for this) THEN, between him and the Board, to find the "best Manager in the world". Our new owners will only ever want 'worlds best' (or as near as they can get to that) for everything, and this takes T I M E, I would imagine, quite a lot of very careful time!

At the minute theres a weird silence Course not man, soon as Bruce is peddled you won't get moved online for hints of managers wanting it. Also, look how the takeover (towards the end) was kept under wraps. Appreciate they were apparently forced to do it fast, but Downie said yesterday he got wind 5 weeks ago it could be on the cards and nothing leaked. Got no doubt at all it just happened so fast that they've barely had time to breathe yet, but also no doubt the consortium have had agents touting their clients for the job. Still think they'll want a simultaneous announcement. Bruce out and either Jones for a bit (if he fancies it) or their new man announced within a day or 2 of Bruce going.

Kimbo Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 If we’re hiring a proper sporting director then he’s not going to limit us to UK based managers or whoever the media says are the favourites.

kamakazeee Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Favre is the most obvious choice. He's a brilliant man manager, tactically very versatile and has done the job/journey we need to go on over next few years in 2 of his previous 3 jobs. (and done it well). He's took the job at Gladbach in a relegation fight and had them in the champions league in 2 years. I also think a quiet, dignified and unassuming manager over the next few years might be just what we need, especially considering how much noise there will be off the pitch. Also, the ASM story is red herring imo, ASM played 38 times in that season they had together., whilst also producing his best numbers, 5 goals and 8 assists.

The Prophet Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I wouldn't say they need to be out of job, we're not operating under Big Mike anymore. On a side note, the idea that there are no good, quality options out there because a couple of geezers on an internet forum can't think of any is great.

Rafalove Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 3 minutes ago, InspectorCoarse said: Can you name them please ? I’ll have a go at naming some. Jorge Jesus from the previous page is an excellent shout. But also Roger Schmidt especially if Rangnik becomes DOF, Ten Haag, Gasperini though that might be a bit ambitious at this stage. Galtieri if he would come after just accepting a new job offer not that long ago. AVB, Jardim especially if Campos comes in instead of Rangnik.
