Manager for next season...

[joellufcprice]

Unrealistic but would be excellent- Potter/Rodgers/Iraola
Realistic- Corberan, Bowyer (not sure about Bowyer but I'd back him for sure)
Probable but not desirable- Gerrard, Parker, Vieira

Likely on first day- Skubala with no players having been signed due to ownership issue.

I really hope we go out and sign Potter, be a good job for him out of limelight to rebuild his reputation but pretty sure he'd want another PL job. Though if he wants to build a team what better opportunity than Leeds in Championship, gets us up with a squad he likes, could make a good fist of it. Football doesn't work like that though he will probably be managing Bournemouth or something in 6 months

think porter will go to Everton and we get dyche

Whoever it is going to be it needs sorting asap cos the season is a little over 2 months away and all plans need to be put in place.

Nothing will happen till we know who owns the club.

The Times newspaper says talks between 49ers Enterprises & Radz are continuing.

Would love to have Potter but Carlos Corberán may be the right one to hit the ground running as WBA are in mess & only require a £2m release clause.

Règis Le Bris, now Head Coach at Lorient of Brittany in French Ligue1 had been sounded out by Leeds. He joined Lorient 10 years ago as their Academy Chief, arriving from Rennes, where he had splendid results with their youth players who now play all over Europe.
Dont think he'll be the one when the ER 'White Smoke' hails the chosen one 'tho.

The EFL rules apparently require 10 days notice prior to takeover.

Obviously EFL protocol rules of Acquiring of Control have to be followed subject to any successful takeover - but i'd suspect our next Coach No1 target has been identified along with backroom staff by whoever it'll be in charge.


3 ACQUIRING OF CONTROL

Not sure why the hype around this guy. Yes, he has managed Celtic, and won the Scottish Championship, but......

Since 2000, Celtic have won the championship in the following seasons;

2000–01, 2001–02, 2003–04, 2005–06, 2006–07, 2007–08, 2011–12, 2012–13, 2013–14, 2014–15, 2015–16, 2016–17, 2017–18, 2018–19, 2019–20, 2021–22, 2022–23

So just how impressive is it to have won one such?

Scottish football, as long as you are in the top 2- 3 of the Scottish Premiership, is one of the least competitive in Europe. Even Rangers who were liquidated as recently as 2012, were back in the Scottish Premiership in just four years! wouldn't want any manager from a Scottish club unless they had graduated to the big boys football (English Premiership/Championship) for some time after leaving the "little league".

Remember stating to you earlier that if he held off he would end up getting a Premier club further up the food chain. Why would you risk that possibility by coming to us the way we were travelling! Never going to happen.
