And Stevie P rates him, so he would be my second choice.

Potter is another that bewilders me.
Yes his team play good football, but could he take us to our next step whilst taking 2 or 3 steps up of his own? I'm not so sure.
We could have said the same about Poch, well Saints did have a better team but often managers get judged by how well they use the players at their disposal relative to their ability.
I might be able to get Barca with prime Messi, Xavi and Iniesta to win a title just by having them on the pitch, wouldn’t make me a good football manager.
They are gambles true. The least gamble IMO would be Rogers, we know what he can do and has done it consistently.
Potter looks like a PE teacher the kids pick on and lock in the equipment room.
Snigger
Would be a ridiculous gamble.
You say Championship like it’s a bad thing. The one thing he has is a squad of players that will fight tooth and nail every game as they have always known they will be fighting relegation. That’s genuine motivation.
We have a couple of stars, some professionals and then various shades of dickhead that need kicking into touch.
He alsohas ten to fifteen fixtures a season where he knows they’re not expected to win. The pressure is entirely different.
He would be taking over an unbalanced squad of disparate talents and then be expected to try to get us back in the Top 4. Again, entirely different pressure.
You genuinely see him as someone that can oversee the rebuilding of
our squad and lay the foundation for the next five years or so?
“Equipment room”......
I am not saying there is no risk. But he certainly knows how to coach modern attacking football, we took gambles like this before such as Poch, admittedly Saints had a better team but there was still that risk. There is just as much risk getting an older manager whose methods are dated. No manager we pick comes risk free, the closest is Rogers.
Allegri for me.
But until we sort our transfer policy and get someone in who can organise our scouting and transfer dealings then they will probably fail.

Rogers I’m not sure about. Celtic is obviously difficult to draw too many conclusions from and I have a suspicion that what really makes Leicester tick is their recruitment team.
Nagelsman feels like the logical choice. Experience at the sharp end of leagues, both domestic and European, of sufficient profile to actually attract players (especially young Germans) and keen to move to the Prem.
If it goes wrong, fans would give him time.
Could you imagine the shit Potter would get if we lost a few, and he’s stood on the side looking like he’s on work experience at a garden centre.
Naglesmann is my number one choice and I voted for him but Potter is not Parker, he has good experience, it would be a larger jump up then Naglesmann but unlike Nagelsmann he knows the prem.
For me our next manager has to have several components.
1 Modern Attacking philosophy
2 Makes players better
3 Makes the team the sum of their parts or more
Votes for Potter are a joke, surely? He’s been at Brighton a while and they’re still relegation fodder. No thanks.
Frankly, no options really excite me. It all seems pointless. Levy hasn’t got a clue about footballing decisions so, even with the best hire, we’ll rinse-repeat a la Poch until a change at the top.
I do like Scotty P as he’s got some good things going on with a squad of total garbage.
I’d have brought in Harry in January and got some positivity in the dressing room. We’d still be in the two meaningful cups of we’d done that. Rumbelows Cup is a shambles and the prize of 3rd tier Conference football says it all.

Please take Benitez off that list. We have suffered enough surely.
Couldn't the argument also be made that the thing that makes Leipzig tick is their recruitment team as well?
Nagelsmann has worked with well structured recruitment teams at both Leipzig and Hoffenhim with sporting directors handling the squad building.
He is more tested at the highest level but he is untested when it comes to being more directly involved with squad building and player scouting.
This is what concerns me as well, changing the manager is a start but the whole recruitment and football side of the club can't sit in the hands of the manager. It's too much for any one person.
Those are areas i have no real confidence in regardless of who the manager is.
Picked him on a different thread but Leonardo Jardim for me
Very much so.
He could flounder spectacularly, especially if Levy insists on meddling.
The one guy who can do both in today's football is Ragnick. He's available but he would also be a relative short term hire since he apparently plans to retire in 3 or so years.
But yeah. We need a new manager. I think most can agree on that. But we also need to retool our recruitment setup as well. The fact that we have restructured our academy setup and are seeing some early positive results does fill me with some confidence that it could be done.
The days were a manager did everything at a club are long gone.
Let’s be honest lads, why would naglesman leave an almost perfect football organisation to work with levy and the geezer who’s head scout but hates doing his job and rather flirt with the coffee lady?
