Potter was the only person Chelsea was interested in, Man U was basically Ten Hag despite the heavy rumours of Poch. As for PSG I’m not so knowledgeable about them but wasn’t it always Galtier. So he wasn’t considered, maybe the usual links to anybody and everybody that these job vacancies have. As for Amorim, I tend to agree with you about getting him now or never because he’ll either be a roaring success and end up at Madrid or fade quickly into lower league European football. Both are possible based on these very young inexperienced managers. As I’ve said I’m not against getting him because he does sound good on his small body of work but let’s not over hype him, he’s a very big risk but maybe worth taking. I’m still of the mind to be a bit more risk adverse though. I think it would be a far bigger risk if we were in January or February. But we are two wins away from Top half, if he can get us playing the basics we will move up the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe that’s just negative thinking… can you blame us after SG though? Wouldn’t it be lovely to have opposition fans envying us on this? So long as we’re getting results and putting in positive performances… I’m going to make time to listen to this later: If Neil can’t convince me, no one can Regardless, my general feeling on this atm is But do we have to play with 5 defenders on the pitch? t Mate, when I think about some of the players we've spent more than this on... it softens the blow. I genuinely feel our next big investment needs to be in a Manager/coach. If someone can get the best out of our best players and shoot us up the table to a good finish, that alone is worth the money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Definitely prefer Emery to Almorim. No doubt the latter is more exciting, also more chance to fully blow up and be sacked before the season ends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvonVillain Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 So, is Amorim more or less or the same amount of risk as SG? (I would be grateful if the word 'ceiling' doesn't crop up!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjaacckk91 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 If we're going to compare garde and almorim then we should also look at the Gerrard and Sherwood comparison. I'm confident the squad is much better but it's difficult to ignore the similarities to both the managers and the current situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
