Its not about getting appointments right, its about acting quickly enough to rectify the bad appointment and not sleep walking into a relegation battle......
Ten Hag just started his new job as club director for FC Twente in the Netherlands.
Maybe he could do a job as that.
And there lies our problem
Acting quickly
Based on the way they have leaked news so far
Thing about RDZ is that not long ago he was rated as the next one to join the Pep levels.
Probably hasn’t happened because he acts the prick wherever he goes.
Why did it go wrong at Marseille?
Was watching James Alcott yesterday, and he was talking about Poch
Noted how he is a "manager" not a "coach", and how he doesnt always get on with the board above him
Said if we do want him back we should set everything up around him, ask him who he wants to work with in recruitment etc, what team around him would excite him etc - and just give him the best environment to make it work
Which, when you think about trying to pair Poch with Lange and Vinai?
Im not sure Im really on board with a manager bringing their own DoF with them
but in our current circumstance it does make alot of sense.As you mention De Zerbi - I think the same applies. If not more so. He is also known to fall out with this board, particularly around recruitment...
Again, not really sure Im comfortable with it, but we do seem to be in that shit or bust sort of situation...
I'm glad Frank is gone, however we are still right in a relegation scrap , I can't see us getting anything in the NLD , so we are literally just hoping other clubs are worse however from a multi billion pound football operation I would have expected a better plan of action then just "hope someone else is worse than us" Its like we are just sleep walking to relegation with no one with balls big enough to take charge
We lost 34 times in the league in 2 seasons under him.
We won't do these numbers again.
He's a massive part of why we are where we are.
Not saying it should be done, but I'm certain they will be considering it
Never been a problem for me.............

I think we've got more chance of getting something from the NLD now (although probably gonorrhea) than we did with Frankenstein.
Not sure why you've wet your pants at me posting a humorous Brendanism there
It’s does feel that way. Knowing yourself is a big thing, you need confidence in life but you need to be realistic. I know I can do my job very well, I have done many roles including managerial but I also know I am not suited to be a CEO or salesman, I don’t have the energy or the ruthless driven instincts.
Lange and Vinai seem like me trying to be a CEO or salesman. They look mismatched for their roles. Lange is a data scout, Vinai is the head of communications. They have the wrong jobs.
I disagree, don't think the manager is that important at all... Redknapp good coach (no), good talker (yep).
Has he failed at Marseille?
Genuine question, dont follow French football closely
4th in the league (CL play off), 3 points of the CL automatic place
Out of the CL which is when it blew up the other week (EDIT, finished 25th, 3 wins 5 loses)
Bad result against PSG - but then its PSG
Beat Renne comfortably before that, and theyre a decent side
From the little I can gather seems like an implosion in terms of relationships than a straight "failure" to me
But - I do stand to be corrected

Fair enough mate.
I didn't know this but could have guessed. Fuck me this is basic shit
100% mate. I am expecting De Zerbi.
If it was me making the decision, my view would be that yes Poch would be a good appointment potentially. But is there any guarantee that Poch does a better job than De Zerbi? There isn't really. De Zerbi is arguably as good, if not a bit more fiery.
So the question then is, is Poch worth risking relegation for? The answer has to be no he isn't. Just imagine the board give the job to Heitinga or Mason or some other inexperienced interim, and we get relegated. I mean, it's a literal disaster. The ownership would be fucked. The fanbase would implode the club.
I just can't see how we take that risk. It has to be, appoint the best manager we can now.
Forest have just given the job to Pereira, can you imagine we give the job to someone inexperienced and Forest stay up and we go down.
oh 100% , our chances have increased by ten fold with him gone!
Agree. Loser's mentality despite all the waffle.
And I maihtain there was no.plan to bin the PL. It was convenient to say so, and so many on here fell for it then and still do so now.
Any dimwit could cite some aspects of ENIC's ways and highlight an incoherence, but the club do spend money. They just have the wrong people overseeing matters, and keep getting the managerial appointment wrong
