Sounds good to me. All aboard the Naggelsmum train.

Any room for Bentancur when fit? The formation would be perfect .this guy plays 3-1-4-2 lol! I'll take it!
Son (Gil) Kane (Richarlison)
Perisic (Udogie) Hojbjerg (new AM) Kulusevski Porro
Skipp (Bissouma)
Lenglet (New CB) Dier (New CB) Romero
Forster (New GK)
A very apt typoWell Nagelsmann has expressed an interest in managing Sours according to Sky. Bless, he's from Germany and has no idea what he's letting himself in for.![]()

I think it could be argued we are a Leipzig level club. Not in history certainly but bobbing around behind the biggest clubs.
We’re not a genuine big club, like Bayern.
In terms of status, we’re closer to Hoffenheim and Leipzig. We’ve been hiring ‘super’ managers when we’re not a ‘super’ club.
I wish we would be run like LeipzigI’m honestly quite curious as to how so many people think that Nagelsmann is some kind of magical answer to our current situation. His time at Hoffenheim and Leipzig was impressive but those clubs are very different to genuine big clubs, where the strong and leading personalities are many and complex. How would he cope working with the direction and restrictions of Levy, whoever is DoF and other club personnel? Can he get credibility and buy in from key senior players like Kane, Romero? Poch knows the politics and the people. If he’s refreshed and ready to work within the set-up and take us forward coaching and growing youth as well, isn’t that a more logical option? Nagelsmann seems to have a lot of the personal naivety of AVB and his falling out with players and staff at Bayern are a huge red flag for me.
Really?

I don’t disagree with most of that. I think the main question is whether he’s going to clash with players, staff and directors as he has just done at Bayern.depends what your expectations are really.
personally speaking, I'm fine with a transitional period if it means we absolutely get rid of the numerous deadwood (and even the 'star' players like Kane and Son if that's what's needed) and target up and coming yound players who are already good with the potential to get better.
I don't care what anyone says the nucleus of our squad is good. Romero, Porro, Udogie, Spence, Skipp, Sarr, Bentancur, Bissouma , Kulusevski, Richarlsion is a good starting point.
If Nagelsmann is brought in for that purpose with the objective to remain somewhat competitive in the short term with the long term being to eventually start properly competing again and it's clear he gets what he signed for then I'm good with it.
All true. But the real pulse of a genuinely ‘big’ club is the realistic expectation and delivery of silverware. We certainly do not have that.We’re not like either club in any way. We’re a regular CL club, with a decent history, 60,000
fans every week and huge income streams.
The point I’m making is that, like it or not, we have a lot of complex big personalities at the club, and Nagelsmann has clashed with multiple people at Bayern, so how will that more blunt aspect of his being fit in at us? The recent history of all our bigger managers is ultimately clashing with Levy and co. and a growing toxic environment.
RB Leipzig are a horrible plastic corporate invention. They didn’t exist 14 years’ ago. They’re part of a multinational football group. A combination of the very worst of MK Dons and the City Football Group.
Bayern are like UTD. The politics are insane.I don’t disagree with most of that. I think the main question is whether he’s going to clash with players, staff and directors as he has just done at Bayern.
Yes. Agreed. Something must have gone very badly wrong personality-wise at Bayern. Levy just needs to try and really get into Nagelsmann’s head and do a bloody good interview… if indeed we are going to talk to him.Bayern are like UTD. The politics are insane.
I mean, Tuchel is hardly shy and retiring.
Pure guesswork, but I think the fact that he has broken up with his girlfriend in the same week suggests that there was huge personality clashes between Nagelsmann and the board, and they disapproved of how he conducted himself ‘in life’, not just football.Yes. Agreed. Something must have gone very badly wrong personality-wise at Bayern. Levy just needs to try and really get into Nagelsmann’s head and do a bloody good interview… if indeed we are going to talk to him.
Some of our fans feel we have our station and should stay there. So a player like Devine would come in, do well and then move on to Man Utd or Chelsea when the time comes. They have Stockholm Syndrome from too long under ENIC.Really?
A feeder club with a hard ceiling.
We were Leipzig for Real Madrid and Man UTD for a long while. Didn't get us anywhere.
Levys personality seems to be one that even the most passive person will find issues with. No point even dwelling on that point.I don’t disagree with most of that. I think the main question is whether he’s going to clash with players, staff and directors as he has just done at Bayern.
we have to wait the end of the season, see where we are and what competitions we are going to play next year.I think Levy needs to do this Very quickly if nagelsmann is the one he wants. His start date can be June if needs be.
Think I'd rather stellini and mason rather than just mason to see our the season.
That's all we need!So apparently Nagelsmann split with his wife last year and started a relationship with the Bayern Munich BILD correspondent.
He has two young children that live in Germany. Can only imagine it would not be an easy decision for him to move to England at this stage if sharing custody of the children.
Top shagger though.
What weapons changed their vote to nagglesman since the media started spouting about him
