New Manager Discussion Thread

Otto Bear said:
Hamilton at home gets mentioned a lot. It was a freak result which happens in football. We had enough chances to win 5 games and Hamilton’s goal came from an individual error from Goldson. Morelos and Hagi hit the bar. Tav and arguably Defoe missed an open goal. We were overly reliant on Morelos in 2019-20. Gerrard identified that and we go sign Roofe and Itten and win 55.

Exactly you could go through Klopp, Pep or Alex Ferguson times as a manager and pick out an individual game where there was a freak result. The support was rightly frustrated after this result as Gerrard had given us all belief that we could challenge them after being on the end of numerous hammerings.
 
If it is Gerrard we have to get a new version of the brains behind the operation as well.
Critchley was a shite replacement and Beale won't be welcome.

I don't think Gerrard is a good enough Manager in his own right, he needs a very good tactician / coach behind him. Gerrard is good at pulling it all together and definitely the motivating part. But I think Gerrard seemed to work well with Beale because Beale is actually a very good coach. Beale went wrong because his ego seen him have ideas way above his capabilities and wasn't reigned in when he was out on his own.

It seems to me like Gerrard had the ideas on how he wanted to play, and Beale especially, along with others in the team made it happen by way of coaching and drilling the tactics selected. I see similar with Ferguson now, he has ideas how he wants to play, but doesn't have a clue how to really implement it and doesn't have good coaches around him.

I'd still prefer a better Manager in his own right, but if it us Gerrard then we need the perfect blend of coaching team again. He didn't have that at Villa I don't think and that would have been part of his failure.

Hopefully his information is correct and we can all board the Stevie G Express again.

Please don’t take this the wrong way, because I give Gerrard more credit than a lot of others do.

However, your several posts a page on him seem like bait for others with how often you praise him :))

Entertaining none the less and genuinely not critical of your support for him!

Would you rather I lie? I’m general positive about most things, but I don’t see this as anything other than the wrong move.

We don’t have the time to continue to let our manager learn his trade on the job.

Mate...any appointment will be a gamble.
But this time it looks like we will be properly organised behind the scenes.
Professionally run.
I would think whoever is the new gaffer will have all the tools to succeed.
It is a time for relief and joy in my mind
No appointment will meet with 100% approval. Thats a fact.

Of course ever appointment is a gamble, but you try and mitigate that.

The takeover is a time for joy, but if we go for Gerrard that will be dampened and if he brings Beale back it will near enough be gone.

I think Beale took the moody over leaving Rangers. He left as soon as the job at QPR was offered and Gerrard didn’t like that.
As for Dyche, it was said on here the other day that they don’t get on that well, Thelwell that is.

Is Roger Schmidt a potential candidate?

Ex Benfica, PSV and Leverkusen
Click to expand...
Very attack minded
High intensity and pressing
Fluid movement and flexibility in forwards areas
Usually plays a 4-2-3-1/4-4-2
He likes to start games fast

Schmidt's tactics are all about that high-intensity, in-your-face pressing game. He wants his team to be aggressive, hounding their opponents, and forcing them into making mistakes.

What I could find without going down the AI route probably one of the better options out there imo.
 
EHL on Rangers Rumours - claims to work at Rangers - has said the following “I did today hear a manager's name from inside the club for a first time - so let me know if you Guys hear any rumblings.

I expect there to be a lot of interesting chat at the game tonight.”

Rangers WFC are playing Glasgow City at Ibrox tonight btw. I wonder who’s name he heard from the magic mirror…

Clearly they are attention seeking if they are not prepared to mention the name that they heard.

A question for discussion purposes rather than any sort of expectation.

Do you think there's any chance our next manager is someone the club see as being something of a half-step towards what they really want while the club is being sorted in so many areas? Someone who can be there for a couple of seasons, hopefully do a good job but be moved on when we're in a stronger place?

Or do you expect an appointment that has "if this goes well, they're here as long as they want" as the aim?

Even if we make all the right decisions off the field, it's going to take time to get to where we'll want to be in terms of sponsorship deals and income, player trading, training ground enhancements, all the stuff that you need as foundations to be consistently at your best level. If we hire a long term guy, it might almost be "right place, wrong time" given what the expectation levels will be.

Just a thought - my opinion is that the new board/owners will be much stronger at largely ignoring fan opinion and pressure when making decisions. Some of them will be unpopular, I reckon.

I think this is maybe their thinking if they end up bringing Gerrard in. Someone who can drive the standards behind the scenes and bring them back to an elite level which I think he done previously. He has a successful 3 year spell and possibly gets another move to the Premier League or abroad and lays good foundations for us then to go and appoint a Manager/Head coach with a slightly different style of play.
 
Bookies odds on these markets are a joke. Most have a max bet of 20 quid. Last week they had it as a 50 50 toss up between Gerrard and Jose now it’s Gerrard and rose.

Until it’s 1 to 10 best ignored

They aren't a joke. They react to the money being placed like every other market.

The difference is it doesn't take a lot of money to change it because they know that there are people out there who know the market result and, if they allowed big stakes, could actually have people buying money.

Its not like a horse race where the result isn't known before the book closes.

That’s what I mean. It doesn’t take any sort of money to influence these markets. You won’t get any big hitting better touching these markets unless they have inside info

I genuinely think the bookies are in the dark over this. Same as the us
