[Albion] Hurzeler or Rydstrom [Potter rules himself out]

[Mustafa II]

We've identified some candidates and are sounding them out, I would have thought that was the plan?

It appears that they are rejecting us, rather than the other way around. We aren't getting any of our top candidates.

That's not to say the names further down the list won't be any good - but they're increasingly risky.

Hurzeler seems the best of a bad bunch, but there's no guarantee that he will want to join us either.

We were there the year we managed one home win or something. Were you? So no it wasn't.

Not great but it paid off in the end didn’t it?

 

[nickbrighton]

Perchance, the club have let Potter know that his services are not required at this time rather than him ruling himself out? If indeed Potter was under consideration at all. The so called "short list" is just guess work based om mainly betting activity
We arent necessarily down to our 5th choice, perhaps we have just been assessing possible candidates, their likley availability, and then maybe speaking to a few of them to see who is best fit, available, wanting to come.

We are a mid table , well run prem club, not a global footballing super power who have the pull to just have managers up sticks and move. An atractive proposition for developing managers,but its delusional to think we are more than that.

We have undoubtedly moved up the pecking order over the past few years-but we are a long long way from the top yet

There's one that we know of isn't there? McKenna. Potter was always speculation IMO, and a long shot as both he and the club know there is baggage. I don't think it was ever serious.

We know nothing about the club's moves realistically so saying it is all going wrong is entirely guesswork.

A couple of things about that.

Firstly, why exactly does he feel the need to put that out there, rather than just, you know, not saying anything?

Secondly, why does she announce the news as though she's not only not heard it before, but had never spoken English before, and then basically repeat word for word what the other guy said but with a slightly different tone of voice?

Yes, how she ever got that job - or indeed, any job - is beyond me. What a terrible (lack of) incisive punditry, and a waste of space.

McKenna

You would have thought the club would’ve lined him up before letting go of RDZ. But he had to have his “amicable” 2-0 defeat at home send off first.

Sounds like most football pundits to be honest.

Just for my song writing, is Rydstrom pronounced Ryderstrom?

I think it should be just so you can go down a 'The Doors' route.

There aren't nearly enough football songs featuring The Doors.

f*** it, I’ve had enough of being rejected and am now off to support the up and coming team of the 20’s - Palace, with four of the Euro winners, it is then.

 

[Swegulls]

Sooo, it's a crazy Swede or a zweite Bundesliga gaffer? Is that all there is out there? Will be a long summer...

The Man Who Sold The World

He's young with lovely hair
I didn't know his name
Although I wasn't there
"He's great" emailed a friend
Which came as some surprise
Because he normally lies
"Come and make this your home
The Italian had to go"

[Chorus]
Oh no, we need
A new guy in control
His face, is ace
Fa-bi-an Hur-zeh-eh-ler




What?

Exactly the one I was thinking of

Ryder Rydestrom

 

[rippleman]

Because he knows the club haven't got a clue right now, just like us.

More likely that Naylor hasn't got a clue. The club aren't likely to be telling him any more than they are telling us.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Admit to being a little disappointed is not Potter, will find it difficult to watch him being successful elsewhere, but so be it.

If it is the Hurzeler fella his football looks exciting, but i am a little concerned he's younger than several of our players, hasn't been in management long and never managed in a top flight and thus not managed international calibre players. Will certainly need time to settle and the premier league isn't very forgiving.

 

[rippleman]

At least Potter knows where he isn't wanted. If he ever was in the running to come back that is. I never thought that Mr Chairman was the kind of fella who gives out second chances to screw him over.

We move on.

I suspect we'll all find it difficult to watch him being successful elsewhere.
