The next manager appointment (new thread)

[Bluebonic]

When you say destroy, what type of ghastly outcome would you see Mourinho bringing to our door? Something horrific like a bottom half finish?

The way some people go on you'd think he was someone like Mark Hughes at QPR, or indeed Koeman at Everton, and he has a history of rinsing clubs and leaving them high and dry. Is there any actual evidence of this? Which of his clubs were left in such a horrendous state following his >50% win rate departures?

Then there’s a group of people that are so afraid of an eventual parting of ways that they’d never enter a relationship in the first place due to the fear that it will come to an end one day.

All relationships come to an end one day. All of them. That doesn’t mean you select Sonia Fowler over Tiffany Mitchell just because Sonia is likely to stay with you for a bit longer.

Sonia will also leave one day, but she won’t bring you any happiness; she will just keep you in Albert Square for the rest of your life and expect you to be over the moon about it.

Leave Sonia alone you monster!

I was actually impressed that he went to Brighton over rumoured links to us

Weir had agreed to join us.

However Kenwright leaked the news to his Press minions before Weir had told Brighton. As a man of principle (unlike BK), he then declined.

Sounds like when Bobby Robson agreed to be manager in the late 70’s

I can see him taking the City job end of the season if Pep leaves, the Sporting director Viana is from Lisbon

Yes seems like pre planning.

He was Weir-y of the whole thing after that.

Find it really odd people lauding Frank’s style of play. Really odd. Done a great job getting decent results from players available to him, no doubt. But the style? Functional and direct at best, often effective.

Definitely deserves the chance to prove what he can do with a better squad, but don’t think anyone can confidently say that he’d have such a team playing a great style. Pure guesswork.

Thomas Frank shifting in his seat at Brentford I see.

I think you know the answer to that, but it's very close.

Agree dont think will be a brighton style of play but do think would have more than a style that dyche is getting out of the team. Esp this season have no idea what he is going for, i would like us to go for T.Frank think would be a good choice for him and us if he came here.

Regarding frank i dont mind long balls and being direct if your going to actually attack regularly , which his team have had no issues scoring. Even klopp known for his attractive football utilized long balls all the time

3rd, but also matters if you play fast and direct or just boot it upfield - we do the second almost exclusively.

Checking the last 5-6 years: the only time when a Dyche team isn't first by a mile is when he wasn't in the league
