Next Manager?

I guess this is one of those reasons I'm struggling with wanting Mourinho out. Who replaces him and does better? I don't want Rogers. I don't want that trumping, mercenary c**t anywhere near Spurs but suspect we'll have him one day. Nagelsmann is the only one on that list that interests me. He plays a good brand of football, he's young. But he brings with him some risks too because he's only managed in Germany and hasn't won anything yet. Hassenhuttl I like but I suspect SCBC is his level. I don't see him doing it at a bigger club.

So in summary, I want rid of Mourinho but I've no idea who I really want to replace him.

Jose will get time though. The results aren't bad enough yet for sacking, there's no pressure from the fans on Levy like there would be if we were in the stadium and he's only been here a year or so. Levy won't sack him any time soon.

I think we'll have some sort of crowds back before the end of the season. If we're 7th/8th at that point, the atmosphere will be rubbish and Levy will be under pressure. Personally I'm with you and am not convinced that Levy will sack him til Nov/Dec though
 
I think that he'd be a very good fit for us. His football is attractive and he has done a good job at his last four clubs which is tough to do.

I'm with you. Brendon Rodgers is proven and consistently. He's done a great job with Leicester and some of their signings have been superb - Tielemans, Fofana, Maddison, Ndidi.

He improves players, installs a system, plays good football and gets results - what is not to like?
 
Why don't you like him?

I don’t believe he makes the signings there but I could be wrong
When I met him this summer I asked him about Castagne and he said the club hope to do the deal that day. He was at Trentham Gardens in the gazebo next to mine
 
I'd be cautious on Hasenhuttl - he relies almost exclusively on an extremely high-risk targeted press for his results, which may not be all that robust for us for a number of reasons -

1) Our players are miserably unfit and unsuited for that on a regular basis - many of these men were here when Poch was, and are either burned out or too lazy to go back to that high-octane style.

2) Hasenhuttl's press works great at hhe moment, when there are no fans around to moan after mistakes in the press allow opponents chances - what happens when they come back?

3) As we saw when Ndombele bodied half a dozen Soton players with one turn in our demolition against them last year, that one-trick pony of a press may not be all that wise against top sides with players able to evade it.

4) He's emblematic of a certain style of tactical thinking in vogue at present - the German style of high-octane gegenpress, with him, Klopp, Tuchel et al all in the league to push for it - but tactical cycles come and go, and I feel like the pandemic's effects on football finances, player fitness and the ability to build deep sides capable of sustaining pressing may put an early end to that in favour of more ball-retentive approaches.

The guy we have now is useless, more or less. He gets outthought by Klopp, plays Doherty at left-back, has no attacking plan - he's a bog average manager whose glories are seemingly long past.

But the next guy needs to be a combination of inspirational, potentially revolutionary and more brave than this guy.

The only one I can think of with those qualities is at PSG. :(
