Seriously we need some hope for the future so I think a next manager thread is appropriate, just general discussion about who the right choice is or who people want ?
I believe Raul etc had a good summer transfer wise, so the next thing for them to do is get rid of our current imposter and appoint a quality manager.
I still kind of like Favre despite their capitulation last season, but that is based on very limited study… obviously Allegri is an obvious one and I’d be ok with that… who else is emerging across Europe?
Give Emery until Jan. He will continue to struggle. Give Ljunberg a chance until we find any other suitable candidates for the summer unless Freddie does very well.
Yeah I like the idea of giving Ljungberg the reins until the end of the season and then interviewing candidates like Hassenhuttl, Arteta, Enrique perhaps if he decides to go back to managing, whatever other names emerge across Europe at the end of the season. Please no Marcelino. He’s a decent manager, better than Emery, but we need direction not a resultist.
I don’t know why is arteta is so highly regarded? Am I missing something?
He’s about on the same level as ljungberg on henry really. It’s not that I have something against him, but is there anything concrete to really suggest he’s some top prospect? Has he at least coached some youth teams or something like that?
It’s really based off the fact that Pep and the whole set up at City seem to highly rate him. In general the football community must rate him to some extent because he was close to becoming our manager instead of the unrealized Canal+ analyst. We’re not inside the game but there seems too much smoke re: all the reports of Pep highly rating him/City seeing him as their future manager for there not to be fire.
Another name I liked that came up last time was Buvac. Klopp’s #2.
