Management Poll: Who do you want most as our next manager?

[ryuzakiluke100]

Surprised to see Lopetegui not mentioned. Got Sevilla playing some wonderful stuff, has a Europa League title and is 3 points off top of La Liga.

Something about the system beyond the manager at Sevilla is the key to their stable competitiveness. I meant they keep rebuild to stay at this performance level, and their current managers look good. But they almost don't replicate same performance at their next clubs.

Lopetegui has failed at Porto, Real Madrid, Spain NT, so with that in mind, IMO it's more to do with Sevilla factor than the manager itself.

Back to the good old days we go lol
I heard he’s available since being sacked by Schalke 2 months ago

 

[MouraThat]

Jesse Marsch has all but sewn up the RBL job by all accounts. Dortmund have Marco Rose. That leaves.... Leverkusen? Monchengladbach? Surely Spurs have more pulling power than them? Bundesliga or not?

The only thing I would be fearful of is that it’s quite obvious he wasn’t first choice, which may be a turn off.

Just to add (perhaps a bit off topic but idk where to put this)


1st : Bayern - Manager going to National Team.
2nd : Leipzig - Manager going to 1st Bayern.
3rd : Wolfsburg - Manager allegedly on his way to 2nd Leipzig.
4th : Frankfurt - Manager joining 7th Monchengladbach
5th : Dortmund - Getting manager from 7th Monchengladbach
6th : Leverkusen - Manager sacked earlier this season so they'll be getting a new manager before next season probably
7th : Monchengladbach - Manager joining 5th Dortmund

That is a very weird league. Manager merry-go-round and that would never happen in any league especially the Premier league.
I was really hoping that Naglesmann would see it that way and decide to go for the challenge of the Premier league. He was my number 1 option. Sadly not to be.

Another name. Jesse Marsch, American managing RB Salzburg.

Report: Tottenham make contact for Jesse Marsch

According to the Daily Star, Tottenham Hotspur have put feelers out for Red Bull Salzburg boss Jesse Marsch. It’s claimed that Spurs have made contact...

Potter, Ten Hag, Parker...I wouldn't mind any of them really. Not Gerrard though. I'm an admirer and think he's doing stellar work up there, but he'd always have his eye on the exit once Klopp vacates and then he'd drop us like a stone whatever was going on.

 

[El flaco]

He’s not really ever shown it at club level

Click to shrink...

He’ll fit in well

 

[PointToPatrik]

Only thing is that he seems like a man who is serious is about his craft. Can't see him wanting to work with the 2 idiots Levy and Hitchen.

Click to shrink...

At the same time he is like the definition of the "corporate" football manager/exec. He is a master at the art of buying cheap, developing and selling for a profit.

Hitchen would adore having Rangnick there to effectively do his job for him.

 

[Guido 🇺🇦]

That was the reason I voted for Scott.
With regard to your second point, do you think we are an attractive proposition for a 'top' manager? Serious question.

Click to shrink...

100% yes we are. It might not feel that way in the wake of Jose, but that's what Jose does. He kills the supporter's belief in their Club and team. How do you think Chav fans felt when he was sacked they were just above relegation places, or Man U fans felt about their players? All I heard from them and a lot in the press too was that Shaw, Martial, Rashford, Pogba etc...are finished. Chelsea fans holding up bedsheets with players names misspelt on them with pictures of rats etc..

He's spent nearly two years training our players how not to play with the ball, blaming almost each and every one of them for his failings. Moaning on and on about shit. Everything he does is joyless.

Now ask those same Chelsea & Man U fans what happened after he was sacked, how the mood changed and the performances improved as well as the football. Utd have reintegrated all of the players targeted by Jose and are now sitting 2nd in the league with a rookie and not very good coach.

Chelsea improved within a handful of games when Conte came in and he won them the league (I still maintain we were better than them and were it not for them not qualifying for both European comps we would have beaten them that year).

Despite how shit we've been we are still within a mathematical chance of getting into top 4 if others above drop points. It all depends on how Mason and Co can get a tune out of a broken fiddle.

There might be some challenges faced if we don't qualify for CL (probably EL too).

 

[TomHotspur]

Yes. As crazy as it sounds, put results to one side. If Kane and Son were there, they would be top4

Maaate come on, that is literally one of the biggest “if my aunty had balls she’d be my uncle” lines I’ve ever seen!

I trust your judgement in their play style though. I haven’t seen enough of them to make a really incisive comment on that, tbf.

 

[MemphisWill]

Perhaps I sound like a simpleton, but I feel like national team coaches are often not so great at club level. Completely different dynamic picking the best of a certain nationality and only rarely meeting up for training etc.

I know a lot of phenomenal club coaches have made the jump to international but it often seems like the last hurrah before retirement. I wouldn't want one going the other way around.

Click to shrink...

This is true. But another way to look at it (particularly with our ownership philosophy) is that NT coaches are much more accustomed to making due with the squad they have rather than the squad they want.

I think this was also part of why Poch was so successful initially, he was used to making due and coaching up the players he had, and he was very successful at doing so.

If we're not going to spend a wad retooling the squad, we need to find someone who can make an excellent dish out of the groceries we have.

 

[To Dare Is To Do.]

Genuine question here for those championing Potter, what is the real basis for it? What has he achieved in the game that say Eddie How, Steven Gerrard or Dean Smith for example haven’t, 3 names that no one would want near the job?

Do Brighton play decent stuff? Yes.
Are they punching above their weight? No.
Are they a tough team in any way to play against? Not really.

Don’t get me wrong, if he does somehow get the job I’ll back him 100%, but I really just do not get the fascination with him? I’m hoping someone will enlighten me...

They have Maupay who scored 25 goals in the Championship. Better record than Bamford.
Leeds have scored 50 goals in the PL this season, Brighton 33. The disparity between Leeds' attack and Brighton's attack is not that stark.

Gruel it is then, fucking marvellous, I really do want ENIC gone

 

[Thepixie]

Not posted since Sundays shambles and to be honest not read any thing either. So heres my two pennies worth. Anyone who thinks we are getting a manager with cl experience is in dream land. Levy will go for a Potter or parker. Its low cost low risk. (i accept potter has a long contract but i dont believe he would palm us off. If we offer him the job he will come and Brighton will do the deal). if im honest these are the guys i want to. People want Ten Hag but it is a massive risk. Obviously I want a manager who gets us playing with passion even when we are not technically as good. Whoever gets the job i will cheer till the end

Thanks for your reply, and you're right Mourinho left behind a shambles and a lot of poison.
Your last point was my concern. We don't have the pulling power of Man U or the Chavs without European competition.

Brewster by that logic should be banging in goals in the PL.

How exactly are Parker and Potter 'low risk'?

 

[Football Chap]

My vote goes to whoever boots out Sissoko, Winks and Holberg on his first day

Click to shrink...

I know he had a bit of a shocker on Sunday but not sure how Hojbjerg is in your top 3 list to be first out the door. Great first half of the season before being run in to the ground. Only Lloris played more minutes this season. I think he'll be a really important player for us again next season, possibly alongside Skipp. We've just bought him too. Don't see the logic in offloading him.

 

[Joshking5]

I’ve got a really bad feeling about Ten Haag, he just gives me Frank De Boer vibes and we were lucky to dodge that bullet.

Ajax is one of the best run clubs in the world when it comes to youth set up and philosophy, Ten Haag would be walking in to a club that doesn’t have anywhere near the kind of structure that Ajax has and I think he would suffer.

Someone like Rangnick on the other had has multiple examples of building the structure needed behind a manager as far as recruitment goes. Aswell as having a decent track record on the pitch regarding how his teams play and the manager’s he’s inspired.

Get him in with the view to him moving upstairs in a few years, really let him try and own this project. I’m pretty sure bus-conductor suggested over a year ago now.

Agree with the thrust of this.

Someone who fucks off the following:

Sissoko
Aurier
Davies
Winks
Dier
Sanchez

Will buy himself some serious capital with the fans.
