I wasn't dismissing his early work at Sheffield Utd at all - I am actually a big fan of his tactical use of the overlapping centre-back in the back-three. However, IMO, a large part of his success was because he had a good group of players which propelled him up to the PL, but once those players fell out of the team or he didn't have them (i.e. Middlesborough and Watford) he hasn't had any success, or he hasn't been able to recreate it. Whether I'm being harsh or not, it's factually correct. I don't want Lampard and Jansen, either. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PoohBear 1,087 Posted October 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2023 If we sign Lampard then the board will deserve everything they get. At the first instance of weakness the mob will absolutely destroy him. It would be an absolutely ridiculous appointment, so one we will probably make. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they even trying to appoint someone competent? All aboard - choo, choo...... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuddie 1,050 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Just an aside, if the B teams had been in the lower leagues (up to the championship) for the last 10 years then we'd be a lot calmer about the situation. Rangers bad though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in if we had a head coach of the B team in the Championship with a shared ethos with the first team - which I think is what the club would want, he'd be an ideal interim until we found a successor. Better yet, he might even be the successor. A la Guardiola, Zidane (Jansen?) etc. Bugbear of mine. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been in favour if a properly integrated B team, both within the club and within the league pyramid/structure. Alas! Dinosaurs and incompetents run our game... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,508 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Are the Ibrox Noise folk credible? I don't think they are, are they? Anyway, according to them the shortlist is: "Graham Potter. Kjetil Knutsen. Pascal Jansen. And Kevin Muscat." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
