Northern Ireland gave us two of our greatest players, Danny Blanchflower and Pat Jennings

Could Northern Ireland now offer us the only person willing to work with Daniel Levy?

Brenton is the man........he is so wrong but he may be so right

No, Poch at Southampton was really, really good.

I wouldn't go quite as far as saying he was the De Zerbi of that moment, but he wasn't far from it. Tactically forward-thinking football squeezing massive performances out of young talent and giving the big PL clubs fits.

He was in fact our second choice behind Van Gaal, but just objectively looking at their standing in that moment, he probably shouldn't have been.

He was fine at Southampton. There were still plenty of football who didn't want him anywhere near this club.

And if you fast forward to 2023. If we were offered a chance at signing a manager who left his first club in the relegation zone (Espanyol) and then managed a 38% win ratio at a Prem club. You'd have the same people saying lol wheres the ambition?

There's more to football managers than what they've won and win percentages. De Zerbi in modern day is testament to that. It's why ridiculing someone like Ange or even Slot because they've actually won stuff albeit in weaker leagues but have clear ideas and proven at implanting good football across teams is fucking stupid.

Slot would have been a fine appointment. Ange would be one too. Luis Enrique, however, who's won more than both, likely wouldn't be. Because he's disappointed at clubs outside of the one where he had arguably the best club team in Europe during his tenure.

Have a feeling we will get sporting director first then go for naglesmann. The rest available are just trash and damaged goods. Back of tomorrows daily mail spurs shocked at 15m asking price for slot. Laughable headline really in the billionaire playground of the premier league.

We can only hope.

Just doesn't make sense that the beat reporters were briefed against our interest.

Why haven't they signed a sporting director yet ether?
 
Let's just get Brenda in and move on. Best solution to work with Enic and Levy, flexible tactically, teams play attacking possession based football, good man manager, plenty of experience. He's our man!!

I'm having a great deal of trouble following the logic here, I confess.

He really fucking isn't.



Great summary of how Rodgers creates a vacuum of inspiration. He's also really demanding when it comes to wanting his own transfers and is equally shit at them.

Rodgers would have us in a relegation scrap and be gone by November.
 
Ronny Deila won the SPL back in 2014-15 and Neil Lennon won the treble with Celtic in 2018-19 and the SPL in 2019-20.
And Steven Gerard won the SPL with Rangers in 2020-21.
So why are people all of a sudden raving about Angelos Postecoglou because he won the SPL 2 seasons in a row (while losing to Danish side Midtjylland in the CL qualifiers at the beginning of this season)….?

Luis Enrique is reportedly a candidate to replace Christophe Galtier as Paris Saint-Germain manager.
The Spaniard is currently available after leaving Spain in the aftermath of the World Cup in Qatar, and he has since been linked with a host of clubs who are looking for a new manager.
Tottenham have long been linked with the 53-year-old, with the Premier League side having to look elsewhere after they were snubbed by Feyenoord boss Arne Slot.

maybe because we do not have the players to play his system, hojberg palying tika taka with skipp and dier jesus


i dont think any manager will get us firing unless levy goes, we will be back here in 12 months
 
Has to be Potter at this point REALISTICALLY. I can look past Chelsea as I dont really see it as a potter problem who was only there 5 minutes.

Does anyone know about Potter and his background staff more indepth? Can they scout a player? Or was that more brightons own set up.

The only way this club succeeds is with young cheap talent and “wheeler dealer” common sense buys like a scott parker/VDV back the day

There's a fundamental flaw to appointing a manager from the Old Firm.

They are the manager of 1 of 2 clubs who can win the title, their whole season is based around not slipping up against weak teams and then up to 6 big matches a year.

In the EPL there are 3 big matches and then the cup competitions. It's a totally different mindset nd job and probably the reason no one goes from managing the Old Firm to success elsewhere.
