Has Ingo seen any new manager at soft play?
-
The normal thing to do would be to give the new manger longer than 7 games and month. But that doesn’t take into account a poor manager not at all suited to this squad was appointment in the first place.
All the ‘experts’ are suggesting it would be daft to sack him now. But it’s very easy to say that, the massive problem is he really does not seem to have the ability to turn it around.
I should think he will be given the next few games which would also be tricky for any incoming manager. Then after 10-11 games without a win even those in their high horses will begrudgingly admit a sacking looks about right.
I just hope the next appointment is right, it doesn’t feel like we can get it wrong.
-
Bookies favourite appears to be Lopetegui. I'd have thought he was more of a Mendes guy and Edu's paymaster wouldn't love that.
-
Hmm. He was awful at West Ham wasn't he?
-
I cant quite fathom why Potter is such a write off as a potential new manager for us (if, finger crossed, Ange gets his marching orders). What he did at Brighton was pretty impressive, and not that long ago that its from a different football era. If we could resurrect Brighton era Potter I would be happy with that
-
IMO, and I believe the wider public(?), his achievements at Brighton were more to do with the excellent recruitment and wider club structure - he was a cog within that. It looks increasingly like if you take him out of that environment he isn't up to the job. Maybe.
-
Isnt that us though? I mean, we want a coach who will fit into a wider structure (Edu et al), with a strong reliance on recruiting talent (which has done ok, if we hold in suspense the transfer window just gone).
Ok, we have the chaotic element of stratospheric egos also in the mix, but thats football these days
-
Objectively, if you take out the no mark leagues and competitions you have never heard of, Ange's track record comes down to Celtic (a coin toss in terms of success or failure) and Totteningham. Which was shit, apart from ten games at the start, and winning a second rank european competition on a(nother) coin toss.
The question isn't 'why would you sack a coach after so few games?', it's 'what the fuck is a bit of a character with his track record, doing in charge of a(nother) 'ship club?'.
-
You can fuck the fuck off wirh Loopy Teggy. He is Megoo awful. I would rather keep Ange. That is how bad I think he is. Got to be somebody out there thats got some tactical acumen. Probably a German….
Chicago :aghast

Looking for unemployed German with a decent track record? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_Rose
-
I'll take it.
Gerrim in!
Chicago: Breathing a sigh of relief.
-
I suspect if he was going to be fired before the next game, he'd have gone by now.
-
You'd say the same with Nuno though. Was quite a long gap. Think we fired him on a Friday after the Sunday game?
-
This is the nub of it all for me. Was it Edu, Marinakis, both of them?
When we appointed Nuno (and Cooper?) isn't we do a proper process run by the club management at the time with interviews and stuff?
-
It would be like every other time with Marinakis. They sort out the replacement and then announce the sacking - probably don’t make a final decision on the sacking until they are confident they can get an acceptable replacement.
