[northeastclaret]

I remember his dad John , great pro at Newcastle United.

Exciting link this.

1st exciting link so far.

Tudor is exciting at least!

Exciting name with a clear tactical style and knowledge of lots of different leagues

[gandhisflipflop]

I’d posted on page 42 that he’d resigned as lazio manager, never thought they’d be linked…

Why not? We are massive compared to Lazio

[gandhisflipflop]

Why not? We are massive compared to Lazio

Lazio are a big club. We are not bigger that lazio.

[gandhisflipflop]

15 years ago , so what

In that case then let’s take Coyle back.

[CoolClaret]

Lazio are a big club. We are not bigger that lazio.

They are (by far) but didn't Amdouni chose Burnley over Lazio?

[Walt]

Isn't that website a load of garbage? Can't see this one having much truth but who knows.

Tudor's record isn't all that either and he seems a bit disruptive from what I've read.

[ClaretTony]

And the link is the footballleagueworld site - I wouldn’t be getting over excited

[JR1882]

No chance.
Managed Galatasaray, Udinese, Marseille and Lazio I can't see him struggling for a job that much that he takes a championship job so soon after leaving Lazio.

It can be seen as a fast track to the premier league if he can take us up. I think we would pay not far behind some of those clubs despite the fact they are giants.

[NewClaret]

FWIW, I was told there were two foreign managers in the five whose names hadn’t become public. Not sure if one was him or not.

Rosenior wasn’t part of the other three though and he looks to be part of the process so really not sure my info is in any way accurate.

[NewClaret]

Have you heard any more Tony?

[Quickenthetempo]

No chance.

It's not just any old championship job though is it?

A club expected to bounce straight back with lots of players far too good for the level.
12 months to get you settled in for the Premier league.

A club that pays managers quite well.

[Carlos the Great]

Scott Parker seems to have gone to odds on favourite ? Has he had an interview ? He comes across quite intelligent so who knows

The footballleagueworld site is quoting this guy.
Don't know how reliable he is though.

5/6 with SkyBet. Funnily enough Lampard has gone into 1/3 at Sunderland. Not sure there’s anything to be read into them apart from they are on shortlists.

From a financial point of view, I'd bet we'd pay our managers more, or at least as much as, his previous clubs. He'd also have the option to use us as a stepping stone to bigger clubs in England if things go well.

PS, I know nothing about him or whether he'd be good for us as a club. My point is his previous clubs, whilst prestigious, are in a not too dissimilar financial playing field.

[bumba]

What good is he to us then? We need a settled management system in place not somebody using us as a stepping stone.
Can't see us paying anywhere close to Marseille and Lazio in the championship, rumoured to be about €8 million 2 year deal at Marseille

I'd said we've paid two managers above average in our entire history.
We still don't know if we've players too good for that level.....it's a massive overhaul needed.....players all bought for a different style to the new managers......majority young and inexperienced in that league

We are always going to be a stepping stone, like it or not. If big clubs are after our manager, it usually means he's done something right (this is probably why a Director of Football or similar makes sense re continuity).

Lampard, Parker, Robins, and indeed any manager worth his salt, will all see us as that

[Selby Claret]

Tudor is exciting at least!

10 managerial jobs in 11 years

His estate agent must be his best friend

I do tend to agree as such but for us to attract top managers/coaches and players, surely we have to market ourselves as a kind of stepping stone (within reason)
Unfortunately, as a club, we are not the final destination, we are just part of the journey?

[Raconteur]

He could also live off all the signing on fees.

[123EasyasBFC]

His agent could well be pushing his name to us to make another club across Europe speed up taking him on

We still have most of the too good to be in the championship players that won the league plus all the players we signed. All of whom have too much pace for championship players.

[burnley007]

Or he sees us as a strong way to enter the English game.

Vk was on £2.5m in champ and €5m per year in prem.

That is a little concerning mind, I just like that sort of profile.

[123EasyasBFC]

Could well be the case also.

I think the name is so random there is something in it from either side

[bumba]

Pace doesn't win games, neither does an unsettled squad.

I agree with that but he's 46 years old and managed some top teams, he's going to be wanted at other clubs a good 6 months with us and he could end up leaving in January

[IPAclaret]

Off topic I know but...

Does bumba ever say anything positive about us ?

[golden days]

10 managerial jobs in 11 years

And for that very reason I wouldn't want him

Not what we need, people outraged because Kompany dared to leave after 2 yrs, this guy wouldn't be here that long.

[bfcjg]

The selection of a new manager is getting as long winded and tedious as as a Vincent Kompany play out from the back tippy tappy and back to the keeper attack.

[RetroClaret]

Lazio are a big club. We are not bigger that lazio.

I'm aware

[DCWat]

Vk was on £2.5m in champ and €5m per year in prem.

Wonder why we paid him in pounds in the Championship and Euros in the Premier League

[Boss Hogg]

I just hope we don’t pay an enormous salary and a long contract just because someone is a name. We were lucky getting compo for VK but most managers don’t last the length of their contract. Parker would be alright for the Championship but is a huge risk for the PL if we get there, as was VK.

[Quickenthetempo]

Pace doesn't win games, neither does an unsettled squad.

Every time I watched Leeds or Leicester last season their pace was just too much for the opposition.

If pace didn't matter Robbie Blake would have played for top clubs all his life.

Tbf I'd sooner we took a while and gave ourselves more chance of getting it right, but having said that I wouldn't want it to drag on too long into the transfer window.

Literally

[Longsider]

Come on. We have got to go all out to get a manager with the name Igor.

An unsettled squad is something no club wants; can't say the same for pace. Getting from one end of the pitch to the other speedily or just gaining an advantage through it over a few yards is a potent weapon in a teams armoury.

[Stan Tastic]

I thought people would be interested to see a half-time team talk from Scott Parker.

How did that weapon work out for us last season?

It worked they got a second half goal to win 1-0 and were promoted.
