My Geordie mate recons Eddie Howe is burnt out and looking to take a year off - thinks De Zerbi or Jose is heading there in the summer.
I’m assuming Heitinga because he’s already there and is a new hire. The only other thing I know about him is the chant the Ajax fans had about him near the end of his tenure - a nice simple “fuck off John”.
De Zerbi is actually just a shit Ange, in that he doesn’t even have Ange’s charisma or ability to connect with players.
If you had told me this is where we’d be in June, I’d have begged you to keep Ange. And I say this as someone who truly despised Postecoglou towards the end.
His game model is way too volatile with our squad as is. We will ship chances in bunches as we learn his “principles”. Even a well played RDZ match gives up a good counter or two, and that’s before we get into his shocking OOP/pressing approach.

I suspect RDZ appeals because he is the opposite of Frank: fiery in nature, attacking, demanding.
We do this every time - swing from one extreme to the next

I think it would be crazy to offer RDZ the job right now unless it is only for rest of season.
A bit out there, but if Poch is not coming back, I would go for a lesser known manager.
My option would be Cristian Titz (cue the puns)
On a serious note, I think he would be a good choice.
Yeah, he plays a 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 and some on here have complained that it don't work in the PL mostly based off the idiot Amorim.
Didn't Conte switch to 3 at the back with Chelsea when they were not doing well then went on a storming run and won the league ( needs clarifying )
Titz plays an aggressive, high-intensity style and focuses on quick, vertical attacks. While often defensively solid, his team can shift to a more aggressive, possession-based approach or a faster, counter-attacking style depending on the opponent.
Titz has published several specialised books on football training methods. ( Maybe someone should of told Ange and Frank about them)

The swings that are more passionate and attacking, rather than pragmatic and passionate, have yielded positive results before imploding (admittedly using one recent exaple here). That's all we need, a few games of positive results
Don't think the fans would be to happy with a 54yo coming in whos never managed a top club
Weve signed enough Titz over the last few years

Lallana added: "It’s not just me, the whole group is [invested]. It runs itself, that dressing room... it’s easily as strong as the Liverpool dressing room when we won everything. Milly [James Milner] will back that up."
Adam Lallana gives fascinating insight into why Roberto De Zerbi is a "different breed" of manager
Brighton have become a force to be reckoned with under Roberto De Zerbi.

I hope they do and then they can sack him two games before the season ends.
No he's actually been reliable enough over the years, reliable for a ITK so wouldn't exactly put your mortgage on it
I wonder if the next interim manager will last until the end of the season? 
I quite enjoy Titz
Seeing as he has thrown his hat in the ring I'd like to see Redknapp as interim, supported by Robbie Keane and/or Jermaine Defoe as assistant coaches. Then Poch in the summer. I think our squad is tailor made for Poch:
1. Poch is a renowned FB whisperer and in Spence and Udogie he has two athletic beasts ready to dominate the flanks.
2. Poch and Romero will be a match made in heaven. Argentinian Centre Back connection.
3. He will build strong connections with young talents like Bergvall, Gray, Simons, Odobert, in a similar way to how he did with Eriksen, Dele, Son and Dier.
4. I can't think of a better mentor coach for Vuskovic who simply has to be integrated into our first team next season.

This is why I would be okay offering the interim role to Ole but I also understand if he feels like he has done the interim thing already.
The sliding door moment is not replacing him with proper quality 2-3 years ago. Same with Kane. Same with Eriksen, Lloris, Walker and Dembele. Squad replenishment has been a disaster.
