Next manager

[Newcastleclaret93]

If VK goes Moyes would be my #1 without question - I feel like we need an experienced head who's seen it all to get the dross off the wage books and I think it'd be good for the board to see how a vastly more experienced manager, who has been at a number of clubs, operates.

He plays with wingers, a 4-2-3-1 (like we have done) and would work well with the centre halves on our books. It's not that dissimilar to a squad that he's used to managing.

Failing that then I'm not sure.

There’s no way in hell Moyes drops to the championship

No mention yet of Craig Bellamy? If (and surely it's still a big IF) Kompany somehow gets the Bayern job, is it inevitable that CB goes with him? Or might he fancy taking the reigns himself?

Not saying this would be my preference but I suppose it's a way of having continuity.

But is continuity really that important? Several times this season (and last season to be fair) players have seemed baffled by the tactics or the way the manager wanted them to play. A new manager with a fresh and more simplified approach might be just what some of our squad need. I don't agree with the idea that they are only here to play for Kompany.

If Kompany does go, I think the natural successor would be Graham Potter. I don’t think he has a job at the moment (I stand to be corrected on that), and his experience with the Brighton “project” would mean he’s a good fit for us.

Potter coming to Burnley would be a big surprise to say the least.

Potter who doesn't think the Ajax job is big enough for him ?

He has porbably convinced himself Man Utd will be ringing him soon

Brian or Harry?

[Vegas Claret]

if you look at the 'style' of the players we have then Cooper would probably fit us well, got Swansea to a play off final, got Forest promoted and then kept them up.

Yes but we would have to look at him all the time

[Ilkley claret]

Cooper
Knutsen
Robins
Svensson
Still

Cooper by a country mile for me

Carrick has just signed a new contract at Boro so id rule that one out

Apologies; missed the sarcasm there, easy to do on t'internet!

There's no way in hell Bayern Munich appoint Vincent Kompany...

You have to question why they’ bother requesting permission to speak to him and having a conversation then?

I’m sure there are other candidates in the frame but it’s a lot of effort to go to for someone there is ‘no way in hell’ they’ll appoint.

[Holtyclaret]

Hull fans wanted rosenior out from Xmas. It’s the rest of football that’s besotted with him.

Potted at both Derby and Hull. Not even 2 years professional managerial experience.

Can’t understand how fans who have been so anti Kompany would be happy about Rosenior.

[CharlieinNewMexico]

Hernán Losada. Young, speaks about 5 languages, Belgian and American connection. Classic Alan appointment.

Ironically given my above post, was me being sarcastic NC.

NC93 suggested that 'no way in hell would Moyes drop to the Champ' - which I agree is unlikely... but then if VK can go from this season to Bayern Munich then heck, anything is possible.

I read today that 8/9 seriously considered candidates have already turned the job down and Tuchel stood by his decision to leave despite being asked by the club to reconsider. They seemed to have turned their attentions to Kompany because he once played in the Bundesliga and speaks German!

[NewClaret]

Corberan my number 1 pick. Overperformed at both clubs in this league based on budget. Tactically flexible manager who can play several different styles. Would be interesting to see him given the best squad and largest budget in the league. I also think he’s smart enough to adjust to the PL challenge should we get there. Not sure whether he could be prized out of West Brom though.

Stylistically Rosenior and Knutsen fit the bill. Both like ball dominant teams and the transition to their styles would be minimal. The former is a bit of a Russell Martin style risk though given, like Martin, he didn’t deliver play offs - albeit again the play style would be very similar, while Saints had to completely change their approach, perhaps reducing that risk a touch.

How does Knutsen play? I thought he was a bit more of a Klopp counter attack style from what I remember reading previously.

Have to say he’s the one that I’d be most excited about…. Without actually knowing a single thing about him or Bodo Glimt and you have to ask why nobody else has come in for him?

60% win record at two of his past clubs though and 50% at the other, albeit not at our level.

The others mentioned just feel so meh to me, far lower profiles, not much better records (or worse!) and underline to me how lucky we are to have Kompany.

Fair enough, got you. Had missed the other exchange.

I’ve read that Ajax are in a right shambles, people read the name and imagine the Ajax of ten years ago.

When Judas did the dirty on us he recommended McInnies who was at St Johnston at the time
If we are going Scottish how about Micky Mellon
Carrick is a no no for me another good player at United but a poor manager

[Darnhill Claret]

If Alan Pace could sweet talk Graham Potter to succeed VK, should he be appointed at Bayern, I believe he would be successful here.

David Moyes for me...he only lives 400 yards away from my house.
Guaranteed lift on match days!

Agree.

Kompany obviously talks a good game, so you never know.

I'd love David Moyes to come to Turf Moor.

WBA were recently taken over, their owner is worth billions - he won't be leaving WBA

Where did you get that from?

All I can find in news articles at the time

‘Shilen Patel’s father, Kiran is estimated to be worth around $400 million (£318 million). It is believed that Shilen Patel himself has a net worth of around $100 million (£79.5 million).’

Quite a bit short of ‘billions’…

If Kompany goes, only one choice for me: Super Michael Jackson !!

[Roosterbooster]

Interesting that Kompany wasn’t on that shortlist!

Or Wilder or Knutsen
Both of whom I believe were on the shortlist

I'd like Kompany to stay
But if he goes, Knutsen is still my preferred choice, as he was 2 yrs ago

No thanks, don't fancy facing the wrath of an angry Scot when he opens the door ...might see him in one of the local coffee shops tho... I'll ask him then.....but from a distance!

[LincsWoldsClaret]

Cooper or Moyes would be great

[ClaretOfMancunia]

Cooper makes a lot of sense to me.

[123EasyasBFC]

As much as I think the bee hole podcast was a shocker last night whoever it was they suggested ole as a shout for next manager, that actually isn’t a bad shout. He actually had man united playing well

[NewClaret]

Really, I heard it was Wilder and Rooney? (off here, not anybody itk)

Knutsen I don’t know a lot about but he has a very good record at Bodo Glimt so that’s oddly the one I’d be most excited about but have to say in general would be left pretty deflated if Kompany left.

[Belgianclaret]

Our current defensive coach?

He was stifled in his abilities the way we played was a nightmare for any coach, let alone a defensive coach
