Lampard is good example to him when rushing too early to bigger stages as a manager. And to us, it shouldnt be too hard to find better manager who keep us up with couple of new quality players from january transfer window. I’ve got Gerrard in my mind as the bar - I want someone better than him. He’s highly thought of and has a team, but has zero experience halting a relegation slide.

timnufc22 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I think Graham Potter ticks the most boxes at the moment - has current prem experience, seems to have done a very good job at Brighton, is well thought of in the game, plays good football... it’s a big jump pressure wise from Brighton, would be the only thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emotic Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 AVB is out of work? Cool. He has horrendous spells, but he's young and has a modern, methodical approach to the game. We kind of have the players that would suit his preferred 4-3-3 style of play too, just that the fullbacks are pretty shite. But if there's going to be a DOF on top of all that, then they'd have to be aligned in footballing philosophy. A nice writeup on his Marseille style here.

Ben Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 It looks like Rafa has took our fitness coach so with a bit of luck he's been tipped the wink that a new coaching team is coming in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqen Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Really frustrating that the timing is so bad for this. Even if you throw a lot of money at someone like Potter I'm not convinced he'd ditch Brighton at this exact moment. Same with Emery and a few other names mentioned. The job (providing we don't go down) would be so much more appealing to a new manager come next summer with a full transfer window to work with. The mess Bruce has us in at the minute makes it vital we do take someone on now though but it's probably going to have to have to be someone neither the owners or fans would ideally want. Out of the names mentioned for out of work managers I'd probably just gamble on AVB, I reckon he'd put together a decent side with the funds available after a couple of windows.

Guest Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I don’t think it’d take much to get us going. Howe, Martinez, etc have an identity, while they’re not my first choices anymore I still think they’d see us clear given 30 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 My friends, we have a winner for the shittest take on who should be our next manager.

The Prophet Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Martinez hasn't won anything with a 'golden generation' at Belgium because he has no idea how to organise a defensive unit. Both Italy and Belgium came into the tournament with an ageing defence. The difference was that Mancini ensured the Italian back line was never really exposed, Jorginho sat in front, with Barella and Veratti providing plenty of energy and ability on the ball. I appreciate Witsel came into the tournament with an injury, but Martinez did absolutely nothing to reduce his defences exposure, with players frequently able to get a direct run on them. It was the same at Everton. He inherited a solid defence from Moyes, who had played together for years and due to a combination of poor recruitment and coaching, they became an absolute shambles at the back and dropped from the European spots to lower midtable as a consequence. Currently our defence is as unorganised as I've seen it and we don't really have the players that can keep the ball and offer the possession games Martinez likes. He wouldn't even have the initial structure he was afforded at Belgium and Everton. In short I think he would be an absolute disaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are looking at someone that is not under contract at another club, and who is a realistic and achievable hire at the minute, I think it would have to be AVB as I think of the options available he is most likely to provide us with the balance of a solid defensive unit and decent play going forward.

Ankles Bennett Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 And Bruce who allegedly loves NUFC, refuses to accept that performances are his fault and waits to be sacked so he gets his £8m "reward" for litterally destroying NUFC!! As he said he never breaks a contract. Thats because he has made his living by getting sacked from all his jobs and having his contracts paid up! We are told Ashley paid £8m compo to sheff wednesday. Its unbelievable that this excuse for a football manager is going to cost NUFC £16m!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Martinez might be canny if we can also bring in a specialist defensive coach (not Lawrenson). Reading up on AVB - he seems to have matured a fair bit so could be an option. After Bruce, I'm really warming to the idea of someone young, fresh and modern in the role.

If we stay up, the goalposts move considerably. I don't think it has to be just till the end of the season. I think we could appoint someone on an 18 month contract (at least), and be able to give them that time. I don't think there'll be any sort of 'crazy' investment in the team in either january or the summer. Lots of change possibly, but measured recruitment, and it just needs someone to keep us up this season, and oversee the start of the changes. Steady things / consolidate next season, make sure we aren't in a relegation battle again, then the summer after could be the start of the real push on.
