Ruben Amorim for me. I think he'd make the best of our current squad, shore up our defensive openness and implement an adaptive attacking approach and positive passing structures. Contracted till June 2026, so we'd be paying out a year if Ange doesn't last past this season (and he's willing to come)... and Sporting being notoriously difficult to deal with.

3-5-2 (or 3-4-3) might actually look pretty good - and yes, i'm aware modern formations are fluid :)

I think that Pioli could do good work here.

An adaptable, calm coach that's used to working within a budget (Which even if we spend, we are) and to adapting his football based on the players on hand rather than putting square pegs in round holes.

Not to mention that he is a good player developer. Theo Hernandez and Rafa Leao grew into their potential under him.

We can ill-afford another football ideologue (under ENIC).

I don't think that we need a pragmatist as in a defensive manager ala Conte or Jose. But we need someone that is pragmatic in the sense that he can work with what he has and adapt to suit it.

I'm warming to the thought of Pioli because of that. Who also seems to be a excellent man manager.

And that is exactly what I mean, as Conte clearly had an ideological component to his football thinking.

We need a horse for the ENIC course (and the Spurs fan).

He has to be pragmatic but with an attacking bend (see Redknapp), if he is ‘pragmatic’ like Jose it won’t work.

Which is why I think that Pioli (or someone like him) works.

He wants to play with possession and attack. But he's not married to one specific way to achieve that. He'll change his formation and system in small ways to suit what he has on hand. When his single pivot at Milan stopped working he moved to a double as an example.

He also turned Theo Hernandez into an absolute monster of a bombing fullback. He could work wonders on Porro.

Thats Graham Potter. He is the perfect ENIC head coach

I’m afraid I just fail to see the point of hiring managers like Conte, Postecoglou etc. who can only play to one way or system. They invariably come a cropper as ENIC won’t bankroll the players that their systems require and opponents work them out.

It just results in a high frequency of sacking when it all comes off the rails.

If Potter is able to buck this trend, I’d take him.*

* Levy/ENIC are still the problem to me.

I reckon the club would end up going for Iraola

Probably the best shout.

Young. Done wonders for a lower club in La Liga. Doing wonders at a lower club in the Premier League and will end up being rewarded with a bigger move. Great at coaching a press and has shown to improve the players he has at his disposal and getting the best out of them.
 
Just remove the hypothetical list of who could replace Ange with who will replace him.

The stars are aligned and we're destined to get him eventually so everyone can have a good laugh at us. So let's get it over with now so he can get us relegated and we can then start anew.

I don't get this

Jol, Redknapp, Poch and Conte all had us playing great football and completing at a high level.

Ramos, Nuno, Jose etc were shit,

they all had the same chairman but the top ones did well and the bottom ones didn't.

In what way did Jol, Redknapp and Conte have us competing at a high level?

Redknapp and Conte got us to the Champions League once?

Pochettino is the only manager under ENIC that got us to be consistently in the mix trophies and consistently in the Champions League. Prior to him we were essentially a perpetual Europa League/mid top half team, and low and behold when he left we returned to exactly this level, yet some people still believe ENIC should be given some of the credit for the success during his tenure. The mind boggles.

I would say we were on the cusp with Redknapp, 1-2 more top players in key positions and we would have been in a title race.
 
Options:
Iraola - good young option
Marco Silva - good option
Potter - unconvinced
Sérgio Conceição - decent option out of work
Tuchel - too demanding in transfer market (not pro youth enough). but we have the perfect players for his 5 back system
Thomas Frank- dream of seeing that guy at a big club with a lot more resources at his disposal

We don’t need another football dinosaur.

We want a manager that plays expansive football, just not suicidal expansive football, but can also develop a solid back four without feeling it’s necessary to park the bus.

A manager that can adapt his tactics to the opposition and how the match is progressing.

Someone that will integrate young talent alongside established players.
