Next Manager?

Before i do anything i will wait and see which/what happens, after all how many T w a tt er posts have they been telling us such and such is our new manager?

Pretty much the whole of this thread has comments based on opinions of potential candidates rather than everything being fact checked. This one looks less dubious at this stage than some of the others.
 
When even a die hard contrarian like you edits his panglossian post to add a note of doubt and concern, things must be bad.

Struggling to see the resemblance to taking Poch from SCBC.

A manager on the up, still trying to prove themselves but with some indicators that they do know what they are doing.

Oh, and black suit black shirt combos with nice hair.
 
Would be a similar appointment to Poch first time around IMO.

Did well at Shaktar iirc.

Does concede a lot of goals though.
Not really . Poch had SCBC going in a good direction.
This fella failed at Roma . Got their belly’s tickled by United. Failed to beat anyone in Italy’s top 6 or even 8.

Was ok in Ukraine in a two horse race.

The new DOF is not a good fit either. Now appointing this fella feels like an utter shambles
 
Maybe the real target is a year away from joining and this is stop gap. Levy gives the fans what they want in a DOF, he hires a bang average manager who fail’s terribly, he sacks the pair at the end of the season, the DOF gets the blame and shows everyone that the DOF approach is not good, he takes full control again and Poch is now ready to return and everyone is happy again?

That’s a real stretch. I like the optimism tho .
 
Scant comfort but if you applied his win and draw percentage at Roma to the premier league with us we would have finished 4th last season
Random I know.
 
So, if this is true

- everyone wanted a DoF hired to pick the manager, looks like it's exactly what happened and people are freaking out?

Young manager, known for playing attacking football, has won trophies in Portugal & Ukraine, beat City in CL, lets see ..

yeah but seems everyone's beating pep and Emirates Marketing Project nowadays, lol
 
That's the spirit

Haha, it's definitely underwhelming, but let's just wait and see. It's not like he can play more boring football than Mourinho, for instance - so it will be something else and it'll be interesting.

We don't want Conte because he's a big spender and we don't have money, we don't want Potter because he's British and manages Brighton, we want Ten Haag because... I'm honestly not entirely sure. Ajax have done well in Europe, but even Roma got to the Europa leagues semi (further than we did).

This guy could've gone to say Sevilla and have torn it up there this season and we'd be begging to get him next season. It's a gamble for sure, but we'll just have to wait and see how it goes. Maybe it'll come good.

Yep. This is how it’s meant to work with a DoF.
I know nothing about Fonseca but at least expectations will be low. Good luck to him.
