Raphael Wicky

Post by Kitch1966 » Tue May 28, 2024 10:36 pm

Apologies if this guy has already been mentioned on here but the former Basel and Young Boys manager is on Burnley's radar apparently. Don't know much about him but looks a better prospect than some names that have been talked about to date.
Apparently he struggled managing in the MLS so maybe this is bulls**t which is possibly could be said for Ruud Van Nistelrooy too. We shall have have to wait and see, UTC !

The word "apparently" should always set the alarm bells ringing!

Clarets looking at Raphael Wicky

Post by Tackler49 » Wed May 29, 2024 12:33 am

Burnley are reportedly looking at Raphael Wicky capped 75 times for Switzerland played for Hamburg,Atletico Madrid and Werder Bremen he is now manager at Chicago Fire since 2020 it might be just speculation or maybe it as some truth in it. Not a name many or anybody will have heard of. Time will tell

Saw similar though I understand that he's been back in France or Belgium again this last season but is currently a free agent. So cheap and some success to his name... I'd choose him over Lampard any day of the week

Much prefer him to Lampard or Parker, suspect Pace might too.

Choose him over Lampard ? But would it be a better option than Cooper who has a track record of getting Forest out of the championship and kept them up ?

I think most of us would prefer anybody over Lampard.

I wouldn’t prefer, Wicky. Don’t want either.

I was in Chicago the other week and watched Chicago Fire v New England Revolution. Both sides were awfui, both playing the same style as Burnley but with even less effectiveness. New England;s defence had holes you could drive a bus through, but Chicago weren't good enough to score. Finished 0-1.
