Replacement for Rodgers?

[Biffa Bacon]

They would though. If for nothing else but the massive pay check.

I'd be very surprised if the next manager at the club is on a salary anywhere near half what BR is taking

That depends entirely on how much we want and think we need them. Should things descend to a point where we look as though a change must be made to save us from being dragged into a fight then I'm sure, for the sake of the business, they would pay the same as they are currently, for someone to sort out the problem.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Emery had two jobs in the Prem

Which?

 

[fitz]

Which?

Maybe as well as his day job at Arse he also had an ebening job?

 

[FryattFox]

Surely this thread becoming active is now a matter of when, not if...

Available managers whose last position was in the PL:

Scott Parker
Sean Dyche
Marcelo Bielsa
Rafael Benítez
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

 

[Brown Nose]

Benitez was first choice last time but he was too expensive to get out of China.

Dyche and Rudkin are very close friends.

The other three on that list make me feel ill.

As I've suggested before, the one to go for is Emery.

 

[pork pie fox]

Unai Emery

 

[tedfoxxx]

Give it Dyche.

Cut the shit, toughen them, work with what you’ve got.

 

[Brown Nose]

One other shout could be Steve Cooper.

He's mysteriously not signed the contract that was offered to him at the end of last season. He's had some issues there behind the scenes.

Stranger things have happened.

 

[City Fan]

My choices:

Emery
Frank
Potter
Cooper

Not that any of those will come of course.

It wouldn’t massively surprise me if they decide to bring back Big Nige for the short term. They might think he could put a bit of fight into these players…and re-lay the groundwork that his successors ripped up.
Definitely not a long term option, but if they can’t get who they want, it wouldn’t surprise me if they went down that route to be honest.

 

[Graz]

With the position we'll be in by the time Rodgers goes, getting Dyche in until the end of the season to knuckle down on these players will be the way to go.

I agree. He surely can’t be happy being landed with 20 odd new signings to integrate. There’s investing, and then there’s going completely ****ing mental.

He's being used to hold up a money laundering operation.

 

[Volpone]

Roberto Martinez. He will get the best out of our 4 Belgian internationals. Might have to wait until after the World Cup.

 

[Miles Away]

Dyche. If the job is to stay up I’d trust him to get it done.

Yep. He'd be my choice.

 

[camberwell fox]

Yep. He'd be my choice.

Yep, mine too. I believe he would relish managing our players.

 

[Jimmy Lad]

Give it Dyche.

Cut the shit, toughen them, work with what you’ve got.

Trouble with Dyche is, players like Maddison may as well put their feet up at home. No tippy tappy allowed.

 

[Brown Nose]

Of course, with our new head of recruitment starting today, you do all know who he's spent most of his career wheeling and dealing for don't you?

Ralph? Would that be your choice?
