Next manager

[gandhisflipflop]

I’d take Corberan over Lampard.

What has corberan actually done?

[Raconteur]

No, so that’s complete bullsh1t.

So i take it Beyern did not interview Kompany?

How do people ever get a new job if they are not allowed to take an interview while being employed

[AGENT_CLARET]

Can you interview somebody who is already in a job?

Kompany did and a million before him around the world

[randomclaret2]

What has corberan actually done?

Got both Hudds and WBA into the Championship play offs whilst operating under tight financial restrictions.

[warksclaret]

I have no doubt Corberan has been interviewed not only by ourselves but Leicester too. Quite a few Leicester fans down here in Leics would take Corberan, on the basis that they quite conceivably will be going down with the forthcoming points deduction and transfer embargo, they feel they could keep him knowing he could get them promoted again, but ensuring some manager continuity which they have lacked in the last 10-12 years

[gandhisflipflop]

Got both Hudds and WBA into the Championship play offs whilst operating under tight financial restrictions.

So not a lot then.

[randomclaret2]

So not a lot then.

But enough to get him an interview it would seem...

[Murger]

So not a lot then.

What had Kompany and Dyche achieved before they got the job?

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

So not a lot then.

Must admit not really getting the hype over Corberan. West Brom always looked distinctly average when they were on sky last season. Anyway whoever we appoint hopefully it’s done soon and we are ready for the new season.

[gandhisflipflop]

But enough to get him an interview it would seem...

Yeah it would seem. I’m just playing devils advocate here because people would take him, but not Lampard who also got a team into the play offs despite off field issues.

[NewClaret]

6 managers interviewed according to this, including lampard and coberan.
https://www.footballinsider247.com/fran ... e-sources/

Some of that ties in with what I was told although I was told 5 candidates with all interviews on Wednesday, which I thought sounded unlikely as couldn’t understand why they were waiting until the middle of the week for something I’d have though is quite pressing and also that they’d want several hours per candidate to inform a huge decision. Also logistically just can’t see how you’d get them all together on one day, so that article makes more sense.

Maybe it was 5 external + Bellamy interviewed.

I was told Lampard, Parker & Bellamy + two foreign managers. I assume now one of those was Tudor.

[gandhisflipflop]

What had Kompany and Dyche achieved before they got the job?

Nothing, but as I said, people scoff at Parker who has two championship promotions and Lampard who was a whisker away from a play off final win but not corberan. It makes no sense.

If there is the slightest chance of Tudor we must take it.

I’d say getting Huddersfield and WBA into the playoffs with zero funds is better than what Lampard did at Derby.

[NewClaret]

I can’t confess to say I know a lot about him at all. Anyone got any links to playing style or tactics stuff?

[CoolClaret]

3-4-2-1, hard pressing and direct (not necessarily hoof ball).

I think we have the personnel for 3 at the back - I like 3 atb when you're a team expected to dominant, not so much when you're expected to massively lose the possession battle (see Scotland vs Germany last night).

It could be a nothing link, but I do wonder if Pace/board has had advice on managers' preferred style and if they're a fit or not with our existing squad, because I do believe we are pretty much tailor-made for that sort of setup.

----O'Shea-Beyer-Esteve
Vitinho--Berge-Cullen--Luca?
-------Benson-----Odobert

Something like that - Ekdal can easily come in CB and Beyer to RCB, same with Chaz/Delcroix at LCB, Sambo RWB perhaps.

[Jamesy]

Do any of us think the Nasal Knight will be Prime Minister before our new manager is announced?
It could be a close run thing, unlike the General Election.

[randomclaret2]

I'm genuinely not trying to be argumentative, but Im interested to know why ?

[Spike]

If we get Tudor will we walk out to Swords of a Thousand Men ?

[scouseclaret]

I can’t confess to say I know a lot about him at all. Anyone got any links to playing style or tactics stuff?

Me neither, but on the basis that he hasn’t lasted a year in any job since his first at Hadjuk Split, I’d be very wary. Decent win percentage but few achievements.

[123EasyasBFC]

If football insiders are correct that 6 have been interviewed and it’s a big if are we going with the 6 being

1. Lampard
2. Parker
3. Rosenior
4. Bellamy
5. Corberhan
6. RVN or Tudor

[Newcastleclaret93]

If there is the slightest chance of Tudor we must take it.

What makes you say that?

It doesn’t appear he’s done particularly well anywhere he’s managed

[dannyonclarets]

Tudor King, Lampard, Rosenior or Corberhan

Lampard I'd say gives us the best chance of going straight back up. Although to be fair, despite what some people say on here, we have the best squad in the Championship and should go back up regardless of who is in charge.

Rosenior and Corberhan I put under the same hat. Both have massive potential who could remain loyal to the club for many years while also being successful. They both need a board who believes and sticks by them.

[NewClaret]

Me neither, but on the basis that he hasn’t lasted a year in any job since his first at Hadjuk Split, I’d be very wary. Decent win percentage but few achievements.

I imagine that’s how we came across him given there will be a lot of data analysis as part of the process. Although that wouldn’t explain Lampard

I was told one of the foreign guys is Dutch (but not RVN - who I wouldn’t mind so hoping that’s duff info) but on the basis there will be a lot of data analysis involved if someone cares to look for Dutch managers with good win records we could possibly guess him.

I’d still really like Knutsen but no links whatsoever there so I’m hoping they’ve mixed up Dutch with Norwegian

Of the ones we know about, I’ve come around to Lampard.

I don't know tudors history other he doesn't stay anywhere long.... Of the rest it has to be Lampard

[Silkyskills1]

I don't know tudors history

1485 - 1603. Henry VII after the Battle of Bosworth Field until the death of Queen Elizabeth 1st in the 45 th year of her reign. Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary Tudor also very much part of the story. What?

[NewClaret]

3-4-2-1, hard pressing and direct (not necessarily hoof ball).

I’ve just written a massive reply to this and accidentally deleted it

So I’ll summarise: thanks for info, not a fan of 3 at the back in the champ as it sacrifices a midfielder but could be better in the prem if we get there, does make use of our CB’s but not our million wingers or 0 wingbacks. So not sure.

[Quicknick]

I've come around to wanting Lampard.

[jos]

Yep, let’s go for Frank.

Who’s going to give Alan a bell and give him our decision?

[Fizzy]

I've come around to wanting Lampard.

I'm getting to that stage too

[golden days]

Kompany did and a million before him around the world

There's a lot of different rules around football, so that's why I asked
Kompany got permission, with just compo to sort out, we've got a list of 6? No guarantee any of them get the job, so why would WBA agree?

[warksclaret]

Bellamy now drifted 14/1 on Skybet. The fluctuations in two weeks have been incredible

[willsclarets]

Tudor has managed 319 games and had 10 jobs. Some top teams in there and some good results it seems, but a big red flag that he essentially lasts a season and leaves wherever he goes.

It depends for me really three at the back - for teams that are expected to have a good go at it I don't mind three at the back... even in the Championship season we often played three at the back in possession, it's when you're massively up against it if you don't have a decent midfield and a good target man to bring others into play that you end up really penned in - again see Scotland against Gernany last night.

Think back to Conte's Chelsea and what he did with Victor Moses turning him into a very attack minded wing back... I think Luca Koleosho could play a similar role on the left hand side.

I think Vitinho is suited to a wing back role and perhaps Sambo from what I've read, again with the wingers they can play more like inside forwards or 'dual 10s', I think they can absolutely do that.

It's probably a nothing link but who knows eh.

[beddie]

I think I’d prefer Lampard to Corberhan. Lampard would imo attract better players and be more media savvy which Pace will prefer. Parker maybe but he always comes across to me as boring.

[NewClaret]

Yeah, you have to question that. We need more than a season from whoever we sign although getting us up
Is important too.

[NewClaret]

Who’s this Corberhan guy we’ve been linked with?

[RVclaret]

So i take it Beyern did not interview Kompany?

How do people ever get a new job if they are not allowed to take an interview while being employed

Ha yeah I was assuming it was an inference about football, where clubs must get permission to speak to a manager otherwise it’s a possible tapping up situation. There’s no way Burnley have directly interviewed Corberan without it being reported by anywhere (except the sh1te footballinsider), and we’d have needed to request permission from West Brom, which would also be public.

[ClaretTony]

Can you interview somebody who is already in a job?

In terms of football managers the answer is only with permission from his employer. That’s the theory but in practice it happens.

Van Bronckhorst?!

[Roosterbooster]

Nothing, but as I said, people scoff at Parker who has two championship promotions and Lampard who was a whisker away from a play off final win but not corberan. It makes no sense.

I think people are looking at more than just isolated seasons. Parker has had 2 good seasons. But also some terrible ones. Including his latest. Same for Lampard, although it's fair to say Lampard failed with a very good potential Derby team in one of his "good seasons".

Corberán has mostly had good seasons, including arguably over-performing in 3 Championship seasons.

You can cherry pick to get what you want, but the general trajectories of their managerial careers are in different directions

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Suppose it depends on how you measure ‘over performed’. Think quite a few are so desperate for it not to be Lampard or Parker they’ll take any of the other names linked.

[dannyonclarets]

Out of a job and no income like they had when they were in management. They will all want to be in the rounds.

[NewClaret]

Van Bronckhorst?!

I know we’re desperate for left back but…

[123EasyasBFC]

Van Bronckhorst?!

Or Van bommel maybe

[gandhisflipflop]

Bergkamp?

[Claret Till I Die]

Jordi Cruyff?

I’ll raise you a Ted McMinn

I call you with John Francis

Igor Tudor linked - can you imagine the "swords of a thousand men overlaid with the "monster mash" Cricket Field will meltdown
