My Blood Is Blue Posted April 2, 2023 Author Share Posted April 2, 2023 If we hire a new manager before the end of the season, we’ll have got through 4 managers this season… even Roman would be shocked at that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he would leave with GP. And Anthony Barry obviously on his way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t be too many coaching staff available to take training tomorrow and prep for Liverpool. The owners really have made a mess of this season.

Sleeping Dave Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 11 minutes ago, thevelourfog said: I agree with this. I'd much prefer a very pragmatic appointment. We have seen what Pochettino can do with players like we have in the PL, and he will at very least (admittedly perhaps at most) have us qualifying for CL football next season. Enrique didn't impress all that much at Roma or Spain, and Nagelsmann doesn't seem like someone the owners are going to enjoy their WhatsApp correspondence with. This had me laugh! 😂 Yes, a pragmatic appointment would be the right move now. Don’t overthink it, don’t try to be clever or to unearth the next Pep. Just find someone that can steady the ship and bring us back to top four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a lot for people to admit they got things wrong. I get things wrong too. It is football and I know these are all our best guesses. Can Boehly admit he was wrong too?! Maybe he finally did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thinking is the timing of Nagelsmann being available is why this has happened, imagine if it's the timing of Rodgers....... It's been widely reported that Nagelsmann is in no hurry to decide on his next job and will wait until the summer (you know what Real Madrid are like... Ancelotti wouldn't be the first manager they sack for coming 2nd to Barca in the league, no matter how many European cups/CLs he might have won them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first post on hearing Potter was gone was that I was, thankfully, wrong. But you have to be fair, every indication was that they were sticking with him. It may well prove in the next few days that the impetus for sacking him was not really anything to do with recent results, and someone unexpected becoming available.

He has a good reputation and suggests he is probably staying on at the club. I gather only Potter has gone for now. The rest stay until a new man is appointed and, I presume, will bring in some of their own guys. From a personal point of view, I liked it when we had mostly our own people in place on the coaching staff and the new manager might bring an assistant or two but no more. Didn't always happen, but I felt things went smoother then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I think Everton was also part of the "make or break" period. I know what you're saying - what annoyed me that was people were claiming that there were zero circumstances he would not be here next season. We could virtually get relegated and he would still be around. I always thought he could be sacked this season. Too much money involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Fowler Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Another thing: FAN POWER HAS SPOKEN. For all those who said we should keep quiet because we couldn't change anything. I really do think the fans had a big part to play. Online - in the stands - Boehly was taking note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the hell-for-leather package to get Potter was about worrying someone else would get there first, and that this is a similar panic.

Thought that about him for ages now. Seemed to have an inside line on the sanctions and new ownership but other than that he's utterly clueless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
