Next manager

[123EasyasBFC]

Is there some context you could share? Was it an issue with a particular player, for example, or was he interfering with general Academy processes?

Put it this way he just rubs people up the wrong way, I suppose that’s what made him a good player and liked by fans of the teams he played for

[ClaretPete001]

Was watching this video earlier and what I took from the video is how there is a learning curve in management and where a manager is less experienced, looking at historic performance is less predictable to determine the future ones.

Thanks for sharing it's an interesting video. I've actually been to the Renato Dall'Ara to watch Bologna - many years ago.

The problem is that there is so many variables to a football team that predicting success based upon one variable, the manager, is always going to be difficult.

When Bellamy is sticking his word in regarding the academy, the guy from Shrewsbury brought in to manage the who academy and his boss is Paul Jenkins, Bellamy shouldn’t be getting involved

There have been lots of rumours in recent days. Adam Jones’ article and a couple of player instagram posts today dispelled about half a dozen of them.

[Goliath]

Last 8 matches - won 2 drawn 1 lost 5

may as well round it up to 15

Aye, Andy sorry.

Craig Bellamy has become 11/4 favourite on Skybet. I’d go for him and Mike Jackson.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Bellamy cannot seriously be an option . Il be happy when we hear some concrete links to managers so we can see where we are going. The uncertainty makes it drag on and fills you full of Lamps and Scotty Parker dread , not with a side dish of Bellamy as boss

Admit it, who put the fiver on?

[Barden Lane]

I am hoping for one of the following: Van Nistelrooy, Carlos Tevez, Eric Roy, Gianfranco Zola , Steven Defour or Claude Makelele ..but its going to likely be Neil Lennon with Bellamy as assistant or a Lampard/Terry combo. It may even be the case that they bring in that long haired former lpool assistant Buvac. ...we need bielsa, I'm going to have trouble sleeping tonight me...what's Di Canio up to...

Bloody hell Dermot. We wanted to get rid of Bellamy as a no.2 and bring some experience in to help the manager.

Well I did, the rest is rumours at this stage.

And you want to promote him to the big job?

[Nonayforever]

Come across an Italian manager , Thiago Motto, who left his club last week even though they offered him an extension on his contract after a successful season.
Haven't got a clue if he wants to work in England but seems to fit ALKs profile.

Gone to Juve.

Thiago Motta who’s about to become Juventus manager??!

Are you a Blackburn fan ?

[elwaclaret]

Well I might as well join the madness….

I’m all for Michael Jackson with Bubbles as assistant.

[AfloatinClaret]

Next manager betting markets at this stage of the process are really not a good indicator of the next manager and shouldn’t be taken at face value.

Exactly, the book on this will be so small that a single three figure bet would swing it

[BurnleyFC]

I’d have thought if there’d have been a fall out between Kompany and Bellamy, it’d have been leaked to the press and we’d already know about it.

[kentonclaret]

The “Next Manager” markets really are just for novelty bets and maintaining some fan interest in the process of who might be appointed. The only time they are really a firm indicator is when a prospective manager gets backed down to around 1/14. As with Maresca going to Chelsea the other day.

[quoonbeatz]

Last time round my two picks were Kompany and Knutsen, as they were both interesting and something different from what we were used to.

This time round it's more a case of who I don't want as I don't think there are many standouts, not seen any particularly exciting candidates.

[jos]

Ian Holloway is available I think.

[Foshiznik]

Of all those in the betting, I’d go for the left field choice of Raphael Wicky. Won the Swiss league with two different teams. Might even get Amdouni playing too

How do you define exciting? Is it 'unknown and foreign' which makes someone exciting?

[bartons baggage]

Gerrard has all but got it.

Craig Bellamy. Not a chance.

[Clive 1960]

Is Martin Buchan still available, seriously i just hope Pace takes is time to appoint hopefully the right person and try and somehow sort the playing staff out as there needs to be some wheeling and dealing sorted out quickly...

[AGENT_CLARET]

Carlos Corberan at West Brom is on our radar apparently according to some website

[Pickles]

Carlos Corberan at West Brom is on our radar apparently according to some website

I had him down as my early favourite for the job, done well in the Championship with two teams with small budgets. I saw a bit of his Huddersfield side and he got them playing some decent stuff.

[claretspice]

With the disappointing news that Cooper may have ruled himself out, I think Corberan would be my preference for the job - if we can land him. He's a very gifted coach and he's outperformed what might have been expected of him at both Huddersfield and West Brom, and of course has a promotion on his CV as assistant to Bielsa. Given the link between Bielsa and Guardiola and therefore Kompany's style it's hard to imagine we'd find a candidate with more continuity of aim.

Less mad than you think - Bubbles the monkey is still alive! He lives in Florida.

[Dyched]

I’d love Moyes tbh.

Why??

Doesn’t really play the trend of “fancy” football so if successful here wouldn’t be wanted by the tops teams. He’s also been at higher teams than us if you will (Everton/West Ham) so might not fancy playing that game again. I can see him coming here and doing a Dyche style job tbh. Knows the PL well and might just see a promotion campaign as a fresh challenge.

So not odds on then. The 9 and 4 would need to be the other way around for it to be odds on.

Good manager is Corberan, unlikely we could get him mind

If it's the Bayern interview then I stopped listening after question 2 where he says his teams are aggressive and high paced with flair players being given the will to operate freely or some similar thing that was nothing like we saw last year.

As last season wore on, I began to realise that the reality of what was actually happening on the pitch and VKs impression of what was happening were 2 very different things.

[Blyclaret]

A total bullshitter …

He couldn't be anymore opposite to aggressive in his lineups
He's assembled a fairy 11

[agreenwood]

Isn’t this thread about the next manager?

There's plenty not over Coyle yet.

As for the next one, I'm hoping someone comes in we've not heard of yet because that list ranges from uninspiring to frightening.

It's not. I suggest you watch it. You will be entertained.
