[Albion] Who do you want to become our new manager?

[Mancgull]

I think the only real leaks were McKenna where we were allegedly one of three interested parties, Cooper as his agent probably tried to force Leicester City’s hand by suggesting we were the front runner. I expect a journalist made up the Potter one and we didn’t want to deny it as it gives a smokescreen to what we are doing.
Other than that it’s been kept extremely secretive.
We deal on a confidential basis whereas Chelsea seem to play everything out publicly by Social Media.

Liam Brady. Now we have TB & PB.

 

[Mancgull]

As I’ve said on another thread, the one for me now is Jacob Neestrup of FC Copenhagen.
Some similarities to De Zerbi and someone who has studied him, but a more pragmatic style overall.
Champions League experience. Young and ambitious. No idea if he’d be interested but hopefully he would be.
Copenhagen rely on a few experienced players plus a number from their academy.
Fingers crossed.

I have lost interest and just assume someone will be coaching the team before the season starts

Sadly this is what Chavs do.

I also like this idea. There must also be an added psychological driver when you never quite made it as a player but could be close to PL fame as a manager, having clawed your way up from youth coaching etc.

Sounds like someone else we were in for...

Whatever manager is linked, however tenuously, put a:
<insert Name> V Potter =

 

[Mancgull]

Italiano now out of the equation as he signs for Bologna.

What about Johannes van Dutch and Pedro Espanolo?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Doubt we will get anyone in until after the Euros now as managers will be waiting for another merry go round as national teams sack their managers.

 

[Bish Bosh]

I find librarians quite sexy tbh

Shush!

But players are back in training before end of euros surely?

I fear that could be a mistake if we do.

 

[Mancgull]

Yes, we need someone announced by the end of next week at the latest. How are we going to attract players in the window unless we have a coach.
I understand that we don’t want to panic but by the end of next week we’ll have had a hiatus of four weeks.
If it goes beyond that, people will start to think there is a problem.

 

[Hiheidi]

Another manager on the market (seemingly).

Greying beard, bald head. Seems to be the current standard requirements!

Mixed record from the looks of it. Seems he's been sacked repeatedly, and where he hasn't (such as Karabükspor and Hellas Verona), he's left after one decent season to manage elsewhere or fallen out with the board (eg Marseille). Not encouraging.

Yep, not for me either. Very ropey record. Surprised he still gets job offers.

There already is a problem. There's noone out there that fits.
