Saying he hopes they will be in the hunt for European qualification, but that expecting progress from previous seasons is unrealistic. If the club decide to cash in on Fofana and/or Tielemans the time might be right for a parting of the ways. I would Love to see Rodgers get pissed off & leave. He is very over rated & lacks any kind of defensive coaching ability. Tielemans is going for sure & I expect Fofana to go to Chelsea for 85 big ones. We have drifted sideways under Rodgers !!

There will the biggest of managerial merry-go-rounds in October / November. I hasten to add, if we are bottom half come then, Gerrard will be off. If a world class manager like Poch indicates her might be interested then that could be sooner. I just can't see a scenario where Poch would entertain joining us. Even for a £20m a year salary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wealthy owners, several champions league quality players, very promising youth team, world class facilities, playing in the best league in the world. A decent manager should see we're currently under performing and have more than enough infrastructure to improve significantly? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would. Biggest league in the world, top class owners, infrastructure and a playing squad that can easily make top half. It's a great project. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilS Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Yeah if Poch were available (he is), and was interested (not sure, but I don't see why not) then we would be mad not get him in. He has proven pedigree in this league, and is the type of manager who could push us onto the next level. I am fed up of us keep trying to find the next big manager and spending a lot in the process. The most important cog in the wheel for us going forward is a top quality manager, as there is no point having all the gear but no idea on how to use it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steero113 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 You'd imagine that if we lost to Everton a call would be made to see if there was even the slightest inkling that Poch might come to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no good spending all this money on players if we don't have a very good manager to lead them. We have plenty of cash to flash - let's invest that in a manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money might convince him. Not his own salary, but the money the owners have shown they’re ready to spend on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Poch was definitely unattainable back then, there was no chance he would leave PSG for us that may have changed now. Potter however may have been persuaded at that time but we would have had to fight dirty and prise him away from Brighton if we wanted him. If he is the man you want in charge though sometimes you have to play dirty like Deadly Doug did with Big Ron all those years ago, and make it happen.

avfc1982am Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I've been saying it for years but if this club want's to really go places we need to spend the money on bringing a top name manager in. Until we do this we will continue to go round in circles. Rookie managers or has beens are just no good for a club trying to transition into contenders for European places. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we need it now rather than later, or we will be stuck in limbo for eternity. Look at ManC. They progressed slowly with every manager they appointed after the takeover. We're not even close. We keep employing they same category managers over and over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I feel very strongly that Gerrard is not the man for us. So as I said, bite the bullet, lose a few, to hopefully then win a lot more before our season is done for. Not really that ridiculous IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
