[Albion] Replacing Graham Potter (eventually)

[dazzer6666]

I stopped playing local football at 36 (probably to a round of applause,as i was never any good) but i joined a local cricket team and had some remarkable success,who`d of guessed ?. But while i could bowl pretty reasonably against players of the same quality,when a friend got me a couple of games in a higher league i was out of my depth .I believe the higher you have played and the tougher the opposition the more workable knowledge you gain .You have to be there see it and have done it ,not just seen it at a lower level and think that qualifies you at any level . Whether you or i like it or not ,the men`s game is a completely different animal to the women`s game .

As you have said plenty of the women`s teams managers are men and some are successful,some obviously not,but i wouldn`t want any of the successful men to be our next manager either . I think it is a case of horses for courses in our great game .

Explain how Arsene Wenger fits your view

It could be Bruno, but I think he’d need to take himself off to another club to learn to manage.

It’s funny when he was stood on the half way line with GP watching the FGR keeper warm up, it struck me that he’d do really well managing a team like FGR. So yes maybe Bruno eventually.

Whatever happens though, TB will be well ahead of the curve I’m sure.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

One bit of promising insight to how he thinks was that in a recent podcast interviewing Potter. When asked about the England job he didn't seem that keen on it as a reality.

Said he loves the day to day workings of the job and that in the England job you don't get that when you only have the players for limited amounts of time.

Explain how Arsene Wenger fits your view

If you mean AW wasn`t the greatest of players fine,but how good or bad he was isn`t the point,the point is that he was involved with and played against some of the best players around ,albeit in a very short career . But if he played 1 game in the men`s leagues ,that`s 1 more than any woman manager or player !.

 

[theboybilly]

He'll be signing another long deal soon. I'm convinced he's settled here and his family comes first and foremost. There's not reason other than money to go elsewhere imho

 

[Pevenseagull]

given that there have been a couple of lengthy spells when the majority wanted rid of him ....

 

[OzMike]

I hope he is a Fergie type, who stays due to continuing success.
If we get to Europe on a few occasions then why leave.

I never realised that to be a jockey you had to be a horse first.

Arsene Wenger only ever played amateur football. So did Sven Goran Eriksson who retired from playing at 27. Roy Hodgson only ever played non league football in Kent. Jose Mourinho was a reserve team player for most of his brief career, going to university at age 24 and moving into coaching. Thomas Frank's entire career in football has been as a coach. Meanwhile some of the best players of all time have been terrible at management. Emma Hayes has never played league football but led her Chelsea team to win the league the last three seasons in a row.

By taking a fourth division side in Sweden up the leagues and into the Europa Cup, Potter has shown that managerial nous can trump football experience, like Wenger, Eriksson, Hodgson, Mourinho, Frank and Hayes. In Potter we have a manager who is showing that excellent man management skills and exceptional tactical planning are recipes for success. That's the kind of manager I want to take over when the time comes.

You may not think the women I've mentioned are good enough for the job, and that's fine, but it shouldn't be on the basis of the number of men's football matches they've played.

 

[Weststander]

How is that my logic,in actual fact you have proved my point exactly,because i would have chosen Sabrina Wiegman in the first place .

Wiegman wouldn’t last 5 minutes against dugout hard men Conte and Tuchel.

I say again "MENS LEAGUES" , the women`s WC winners were battered 5-2 by a BOYS u15 side , i tried to put it politely but if the WC winners coached by a woman cant beat a kids team i dont want a woman anywhere near the Brighton job .

 

[TugWilson]

You of all people should know the answer to that after all,you know what i`m trying to say but still act like a horses arse because you think it`s fun to be a wum .

 

[TugWilson]

Wiegman wouldn’t last 5 minutes against dugout hard men Conte and Tuchel.

That`s precisely the point i have been trying to get across .

 

[Weststander]

That`s precisely the point i have been trying to get across .

Brains and calm (Wiegman) against two faux tough guys who can’t handle setbacks.

 

[pocketseagull]

That`s precisely the point i have been trying to get across .

The precise point you've been trying to get across is that Wiegman wouldn’t last 5 minutes against dugout hard men Conte and Tuchel?

What precisely does that mean?

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

I'm certain Bruno is being trained up for the job - whether he'll be ready or not depends on the timing.

Rosenior could be another on the shortlist, along with a couple more recommended by the Star Lizard data algorithm.

Actually it was your original comment not mine,i just answered it in my way as an example.

Leave Men`s football alone !. It has done just fine for 165 years it doesn`t need a makeover from women. Equality in sport does not mean we need 10 male and 10 female top flight managers ,some of the new women commentators we now have are terrible,and a lot of you know this ,but we aren`t allowed to say it - that would be sexist ! .

You know that a female manager wouldn't be required to field female players right?

What exactly is it you think a woman couldn't do?
Run training drills?
Formulate tactics?
Analyse the opposition?
Motivate the team?
Man management?

I don't see it happening anytime soon at the top level but don't see why a woman couldn't do any of these things.

I agree ,just not in the MENS game ,omo but i am sticking with it ,if you choose to be offended by that, that is on you not me.

The Tuchel grab handshake?

I’d love to see a woman in charge of a PL team personally. Cherie Lunghi was pretty good at it wasn’t she? Seriously there is no logical reason why a woman couldn’t do a good job is there?
