Rodgers future (post Forest away match)

[jb5000]

This is the problem I would have gone for Sean Dyche but alas that ship has sailed, the decision required to be taken is, do we put a firefighter in until the end of the season or a permanent person on a 3 year deal?

For me I would like to see us go for Tony Mowbray or Mark Robbins both like to play progressive attacking football and have done well at their clubs considering the resources available to them, both have good standing in the game and I believe they would do well.

Heckingbottom, Billic and Corberan would be on my list of people to interview I hope for the love of god we go nowhere near the names that get touted consistently and have fail on a regular basis. We are an amazing vibrant club that should attract a great many managers, I know most would prefer Poch but I am unsure if the Chairman can afford it at this moment in time.

We Must go back to taking risk on players that are hungry for success with a point to prove, if we are after big players then we need a manager with real clout, I think Chelsea are testament to this, The players are going out of their way to sack him, too many egos for me.

Wicked problem but a good problem for us to have moving forwards.

I think the kindest thing I can say is that the names here show just why we won't be making a change. Looking at Southampton and Leeds, who have both significantly downgraded from Hassenhuetl and March, I really think we need a clear plan that takes in the rest of the backroom staff before changing manager - and that almost certainly means making a change over the summer rather than now

The names we were laughing at 15 years ago still coming up, outstanding

This makes me realise that there's a gap in the modern football market for 'avoiding relegation specialist' managers.

Big Sam, Tony Pulis, Pardew, Mowbray, Mark Hughes, Steve Bruce, Neil Warnock, Harry Redknapp*... The firefighter managers of old are a dying breed and they don't seem to have modern day replacements yet?

Sean Dyche looked like he might be the new go-to, but Everton are the first club to call on him since his time at Burnley and he doesn't seem to be having the desired impact there...

*not that all of these were particularly successful at it, but they're all the types of managers that you'd expect to get the call

I agree sacking Hassenheutl was a colossal mistake he would be a decent choice imo, I take it that we can only go for established prem managers to achieve any modicum of success? The bottom line is if we carry on with the status quo we will be relegated and will be up shit creek without a paddle looking to recruit a quality manager in the Championship.

I agree with you that we need a total overhaul, the sooner the better for me, I think waiting will prove to be a catastrophe.

The difference between us and Everton regarding standard of player are chasms apart. For me we bottled it and Everton did not, Sean Dyche is a decent manager and is yet to go to a job with a decent squad and thus will have the ability to prove he is not a one trick pony.

Could we?

He hasn't managed at all since being sacked by Forest in June 2019 after 5 months. That's the only club job he's had in the last 10 years...

Before that, his last club job was at Sunderland where he was sacked in March 2013, leaving them when they were on the brink of relegation.

The point I was making with this post btw is there's not exactly a go to list of quality candidates you'd look at and think we've got a much better chance of staying up with them.

When names like the above start getting thrown about, you can see why the owners would rather stick... At least until the summer.

How long until someone suggests Big Nige?

It's already happened.

The only way this manager gets the sack will be via the fans, the board have no intention of getting rid, demonstrations need to happen in order to wake the board up. If we do not sack him now we are down "do not pass go, do not collect 200".

We need a new set of ideas, a new energy about the club, a new manager will provide this and will get us the points we need to be safe. At the moment I would accept my Grandma for the job, that is how desperate things have become!

Me too and my Grandma is long dead.

I really do think it’s addition by subtraction at this point.

He keeps us up this season.

I’m not sure this current charlatan will.

Do you have a room in your house filled with pictures of Big Nige?

And give visitors a coffee in an aerialator?

I’d settle for a title change. Perhaps ‘the definitive Rodgers out thread’

Or the 'Someone Suggested Tony ****ing Mowbray' thread.

I googled to check what he's up to. Manager of Sunderland apparently......**** knows how I missed that. Gerrimmin.

I would actually go with big Sam until the end of the season. There I said it.
