End of season Premier league managerial changes

[VenisonsMullet]

No. I love Regis but he’s been found wanting at times these last 2-3 months.

Iraola would likely rather give the game away altogether than go to Real Madrid

Yep.

Valverde at Athletic Bilbao - contract runs out June this year. If Iraola is looking for a move I'd be amazed if he hasn't sounded out his old club

 

[VenisonsMullet]

Found wanting behave he's done a cracking job, everyone knew we'd struggle through afcon and then we've had about 7 players out with injury

....took a team that finished 16th in the Championship to 11th in the PL in the space of about 18 months. I do wonder what some of the people on here are smoking at times....

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Can see there being interest from Fulham, Palace, and Bournemouth for RLB. It makes sense that they'd look with them all needed new Head Coaches, and everyone has seen how well RLB has taken to the PL, which is something some HC's from different leagues struggle with.

No idea if he goes, but they are 3 good established clubs that would be tempting for RLB, depending on what his own future looks like here.

RLBs style of play doesn’t suit Bournemouth imo. They’re not the usual low block type. Fulham don’t strike me as that type either.

Palace maybe.

We haven't been this comfortable in the premier league since probably Steve Bruce when we finished 10th

Some must have only started supporting us this season.

He’s a Basque through and through
Real was the club of Franco and the hatred continues to run deep
RLB doesnt have runs on the board to go to a club like Liverpool, City or Chelsea

Chelsea appointed Rosenior and he has less runs on the board than RLB.

 

[chriswallace85]

I’d be absolutely amazed if there were any other targets at the start of the season other than survival and beating the mags at least once.

The thing that might make him
Vulnerable would be if he was Speakman’s man and KLD has a long standing interest in another coach who becomes available (and I aren’t talking Will Still!).

I think it was pretty clear that he was KLD's man.

I think Speakman shot his bolt on coaching appointments with Beale.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

That was effectively an internal appointment though. Strasbourg are a feeder club for Chelsea.

No. I love Regis but he’s been found wanting at times these last 2-3 months. Lets see how we finish the season. This mini break will give us a chance to get a lot of players back fit and firing.

Give over.


I'm certain some people liken a manager's ability to affect a performance to somebody holding a Playstation controller.

Even that wouldn’t be a real target imo.

If we finished 17th and didn’t beat the mags at least once, it would still be considered a successful season.

They might be more established, but none of them has close to the ceiling this club has.

 

[SPUFF]

RLB is an outstanding manager/fit.

I’ll ge gutted when he leaves.

 

[Alfa]

Pocchettino will be on the market after the World Cup. He seemed a shoe-in for the Spurs job until the Tudor appointment didn’t go as planned and they were forced to go cap in hand to De Zerbi.

He’s said he’d like to return to the premier league so he’ll be one to watch.

 

[123SunTan]

RLB must have missed KLD's key target: number of points gained from losing positions ... by about 3 points.

 

[the sleeping giant]

Howe definitely on his way.

Agree with the comments on Slot and Carrick.

An outsider to go is Farke. The owners are willing to invest but if the relegation battle goes down to the wire I think they'll look at their inconsistency and inability to turn draws into wins and think there's better out there (Silva, for example)

Yes but he folds his arms and looks moody,looks a right tit.RLBs the boy for me .

I’ll piss myself if they hound out howe and his sucessor is abysmal.

Unlike his orange sidekick I think he’s an alright bloke.

I might have a smidgen of respect for him, were he to acknowledge the human rights abuses in Saudi. Until then the blokes a bootlicking shitweasel.

It wouldn't totally shock me if KLD had someone like Farioli lined up again. We've seen it with players and executives that the club (KLD) can be completely ruthless when called upon.
FWIW I'd keep RLB for as long as we remain on an upward trajectory, but the club may see it differently, especially if a next level candidate comes along.

Having said all that, they did the same with Mowbray/Beale and look how that turned out...
