i would assume that since they've announced signings with "pending a visa" before, they could do the same with a manager/head coach. Also, basing my FM knowledge, one only needs to have the top Continental professional license to get a work permit as a manager -- which is a requirement for the PL iirc

would've preferred to see Sanson instead of McGinn. but I don't really care -- absolute team performance. Could choose between 4 or 5 different players for MoTM. 4-2-3-1 for the win!

is Konsa going to be taken off?

our midfield just looks so much better without him in it.

the commentator just said a managerial appointment is expected in the not-too-distant future. throwaway line or is that a bit of itk?

Yeah, it's really insane to think that a majority of fans (on here, twitter, and everywhere else) were calling to try something like a 4-2-3-1 and yet Gerrard never tried it at all. First game after he's gone, and the interm coach goes to it. Bemusing

Dendoncker Luiz Sanson midfield?

Plymouth are also top -- wonder if staying with a promotion chasing squad would be better than a championship squad fighting relegation?

dumb, but those most of the time are not given. glad to see it punished

I think the current Leicester form would play a role in how fans would react to Rodgers plus the compensation we'd have to pay instead of their ownership paying to sack him. & Dyche -- what would that say about our ambitions?

completely agree, and would say the same about Rodgers as well

Amorim, Emery, or Gallardo

yep it makes sense, and I saw your post below. Think that would be understandable and I wonder if they wouldn't sack him at that point

the problem with a club like ours is -- we won't be able to attract the top of the top for names. And the second tier has reportedly turned us down in Tuchel & Poch. Now, do we try and poach another PL manager like Frank or Rodgers? I would not be that excited about Rodgers with his current situation, and i have massive reservations on Frank but am not as sour on him. I definitely would be extremely interested in Emery because everywhere he's gone, he's won stuff (except Arsenal and yet he had them in a Europa League final). I really like Amorim and think he would be awesome. A tad surprised that there aren't links with Conceição as well if we are going down the portugal route. Edit: would definitely like a look at Gallardo as well

not really feeling the Rodgers or Frank love tbh.

i think most of us would agree with that. I think a majority of us want him to become droppable and a squad player, not be guaranteed a starting xi place as that's not his level. He should be a squad player -- he has a role to play -- just not as this undroppable captain.

he can't survive this, surely? Absolutely pathetic, turgid, and no idea. Clearly out of his depth.

I hope he'll get minutes at the weekend
