That's my punt... Manning, Williams or Mousinho are the type that fit what they say they are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcnick Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 A list of assistant managers from the Premier League with some interesting names and potential candidates (Pep Lijnders etc.) It worked for Ipswich of course but it wouldn't be the cheap option or easy to lure anyone. https://www.football365.com/news/premier-league-assistant-managers-leicester-man-utd-lijnders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are probably right but could have put it in a nicer way ! It is certainly possible however for youth team players to see the comings and goings at the HPC and although the First Team and Academy Offices are at opposite ends of the building the canteen is in the middle and everyone mixes to a large degree. Some of the youth team will know early on, certainly who has been in the building, if not who has the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You keep mentioning managers as if it’s the gospel , then say you got it from a youth teams parent . Who if what you’re saying is true wouldn’t have a clue who we’re interviewing .

Red Ferret Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 Why would some 15 year old youth players dad get the inside scoop on who our new manager is? "Ita Cole Skuse. No wait it's John Eustace. Actually Matty Taylor now" What a load of guff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Balls Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 Based on past appointments, my guess would be someone who hasn’t managed at this high a level before, so happy to be a head coach under a Director of Football who is a bit of an unknown in wider footballing circles, relatively young and inexperienced I.e. cheap to employ, plus finally has some previous link to the club, if possible. Based on those criteria, Luke Williams is the obvious choice. But we will see… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 In no particular order, my choice would be between Lampard, Beale and Eustace, although I have heard, probably on here, that the last of those three has been ruled out. I think Beale would probably be my preference, although I would not be at all disappointed with Lampard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollsRoyce Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) I am throwing in Kevin Muscat Just to be different. Beale has done nothing, apart from lie to the QPR fans (he will fit in well) Eustace had some good things happening with some good loans from the Prem, might be worth a go, Lampard, no idea, loved the player, cannot see what he has done for a club needing someone to play teenagers, a wage budget already spent, a need to sell a player each year for £10m plus and a squad already in place for promotion. Just cannot see Frank falling for that one. Anyone from the lower leagues will be walking into a club with no structure or strategy, and a senior management team who lie, undermine and have no idea what makes a Premier League club. It would be unfair on them. Mark Ashton, when given the chance to choose a manager, did a pretty good job based on the first part of this season. And I dislike the man. But a manager with that type of background would be interesting, someone who has extensive knowledge of what Prem teams and players look like. Anyway, all fun and games, we know how crap we are at recruiting, so this could end up being another in a long line of face-slappers. Imagine, just imagine, that we had limitless money, and we could afford Klopp, Pep, Ange (open your mind) and they come to an interview. The agent has already agreed to the £10m a year salary. And they sit down with Jon L and Slippery Tins. Indeed. I have not looked at the betting list, but I would suggest we will end up with a young "coach" who has minimal experience, and who can be manipulated and will accept input on team selection. We will not bring in anyone who knows what they are doing, as that causes the others at the club to feel inadequate and threatened. Only Jon L could fire a CEO with 25 years top line experience, recommended by Scudamore, CEO of the year, then a manager who had taken Leicester to the top and created a base for a title win, all in 3 months. Nepotism is a very dangerous thing, placing your child in a role they neither understand nor are capable of performing, giving them a feeling of vulnerability as they do not know what they are doing, so they protect themselves with a comfort blanket of yes people, who help them feel adequate. It is sad, very sad to see. Worse though, it is properly screwing up the progress at our football club. Get over it Jon, resign, and go snorkelling.

red panda Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 If we're looking for a bit of turnaround, there's a League One manager that joined a club this season which had gained only one point from their first six games. Under his stewardship they've gained 12 points from the next nine games. That's a 700% increase in their points per game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 One positive I can see with Lampard is that he is probably of the right generation to inspire our young players. If I was a 16-17 year old player in the 70's and Bobby Charlton had rocked up at my club, I would have been going all out to listen to everything he said and to impress him. I would imagine that would be the case with a Lampard or a Gerrard for our kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wybmadwity Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 I wonder if the owners are considering using management by AI, it's all the fashion. My recommendation would be to stick to management by A Person (anagram). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 Who could / would City attract. Reading the club's history; when Fred ford was sacked, Harry Dolman wanted to replace him with Frank O'Farrell the then Torquay Manager. Frank refused because Fred was a friend of his and didn't like the way City had got rid of him. If NP is highly regarded by his compatriots, some of them may turn us down.
