Interim Manager Discussion

[Mcfee]

Can't really see De Zerbi taking it unless it's a long term contract?

Doens't really seem the type you would want to parachute in for a situation like ours to me.

We’re not in a position to think long term. 13 games to stay up and that’s it. De Zerbi doesn’t appear to stay anywhere long term anyway.

 

[Gutter Boy]

I found his appointment very odd. Come in at a time where the coach is all but finished. Surely he was brought in as an interim in mind?

Seeing as we didn’t actually announce that straight away, you’d have to think not.

This club is a fudging circus.

There's usually a bit of a gap between the sacking and further news, just as a respect thing

 

[Gutter Boy]

I agree. Redknapp is risky and been out of management too long. Tactics/structure aren't the be all and end all, but i don't think his 'run around a bit' and pass to the skillfull players mantra would work

Im not sure he even has the health to do the commute now. My dad is a similar age and no way he'd be able to manage that

tongue in cheek……but the current tactics fad in the PL might actually be closer to those that he grew up with

So we have to rule your dad out too? fudge sake.

Heitinga 5/4
De Zerbi 6/4
Poch 7/1
Keane 10/1
Mason 12/1
Xavi 12/1
Silva 12/1

Some rumours it will be Mason & Heitinga until Poch comes in the Summer. Let's see

 

[Gazza]

We want a manager just to get us out of jail to warm the seat up for Poch in the summer. Once he comes back and fails we can put that one to bed too. It’s all a bit desperate at the moment .

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

I’d be alright with de Zerbi till the summer and then regroup and see where we are. Not sure De Zerbi would agree to that though?
Maybe just a 2 year contract so less expensive to get rid in the summer if we wanted

I'd be happy with that. The risk I suppose is that the two don't know each other, so they might compliment, might clash.

I'd prefer Mason with some of Poch's vanguard (Jesus, D'agostino etc.)

Yeah but I guess Poch needs them with him. He always said Mason 'got' his tactics from day one so I guess he would have the power to start putting Pochs tactics in place already.


....if it was true anyway

The only manager there that would do a job now, is Brendan Rodgers and he's managing in UAE isn't he?

Think I prefer Frank to the rest.

 

[Mulletperm]

Klopp until Summer, then he goes to Madrid. Then Poch.

I believe you

 

[The Fatman]

I am sure Heitinga was brought in for this reason.

 

[tommysvr]

Keith Andrews?

There's a reason for that, after one season they realise he's not good enough

 

[Gutter Boy]

Why does Poch need them? There's only 1 international break between now and the summer (22–30 March).

Absolutely. I still think she'd be a revelation if an EPL team ever took a punt.
