Next Manager

[1964white]

So if you look at the top 10 in the market who would you take?
Rodgers for me. He would seem capable in both leagues. Someone like Farke might get you out of the Championship but will probably fail in the PL.
Same with Gerrard & Corberan.

Has to be Rodgers from the list you posted up, Jay.

[ROKERITE]

I'm surprised by the negativity towards Corberan. Not only was he part of Bielsa's backroom staff he did an extraordinary job at Huddersfield. Other than Graham Potter I can't see a better option out there.

[Jimstorrie]

I remember when Gerrard was interviewed about 'spygate', and his immediate response was ' I feel gutted for Frank'.
Wtf
That alone, aside from all the other expressed doubts, rules him out for me.
The kindest you could say is that he is as thick as mince.

[Cjay]

Angus Kinnear is drawing up a list ffs.

And Phil Hay has named.

Scott Parker
Steven Gerrard
Carlos Corberan
Brendan Rodgers.

Dear God.

The style is a million miles away from Bielsa.

It's far closer to Sam Allardyce.

Aside from that he hasn't actually achieved anything.

And I'd worry about his ability to cope with the pressure.

Yeah, I'd be happy enough with wee Brendan. Whomever it is needs to be given time and resources to build some momentum, even if it means a season of consolidation in the Championship. A man with a plan, a defined style and the players to implement it. 4 managers since the turn of the year says it all about our direction of travel over the last couple of seasons. That cannot continue.

Dear God.

Id take God off that list.
Would have to be the Mighty Midget by process of elimination.

I think we all need to remember that a manager everyone at Leeds derided as a joke and an embarrassment got sheff united promoted fairly comfortably last year - expectations are too high we don’t need a management genius

[The Subhuman]

Vierra or Rodgers for me... I'd be ok with Potter too. Of those mentioned

Not everyone, I have always said he did a good job here considering the state he inherited the team and no pre season or window. I think he'd have gotten us promoted too inside two seasons. Not that for a second would I not have Bielsa arrive....

Christiansen and Marsch are the two snake oil salesmen that have talked their way into a job at LUFC ....

You really can't tell how a manager will do until he starts the job though. Pep could fail here though his ceiling would be higher than a Rodgers or Potter

[GreennWhite]

Potters or Rodgers for me, they are way better than any others on that list. Hopefully someone is talking to them in the background and all this nonsense talk of Gerrard, Parker or Corberan is just click bait.
We need to start this season with an experienced manager in place to at least get us organised and build momentum. If we things going well early on there is no reason why we cant be up there come the end of the season. We might not get up first time but we need stability more than anything this season.

It took a very experienced veteran manager in his 60s with the experience of having literal countries relying on him.

With experience of managing two of the most successful clubs in there respective nations (Bilbao are the 3rd most successful side ever in Spain, Marseille are 2nd in France).

It takes a certain character to manage us imo, we may again be a Championship side but the pressure is comparable to any team in England.

A manager who can't handle that will fail, Hecky, TC, Marsch, Gracia etc.

Of the list only Brenden Rodgers has that sort of background with his time at Liverpool.

It wasn't great but was OK.

The rest have failed at every high pressure job.

Carlos Corberan is literally the worst manager in the history of Olympiakos. He had an 18% win percentage, for context there isn't anyone else below 30% and only a few below 50% in 30 years.

Graham Potter did well at smaller clubs, Brighton, Swansea, Östersunds but totally out of his depth at Chelsea. Obviously a crazy club atm but the man looked ill.

Scott Parker did fine in the Championship but failed in the Premier League and had his Premier league record improved by total novice Gary O'Neil. Club Brugge, big club in Belgium (2nd most successful) totally flopped similar to Corberan at Olympiakos.

Again like Corberan going back to the 1930s Parker is in the bottom few for worst manager ever for Brugge.

And Gerrard was a disaster at Aston Villa, fans hate him. I know there is pressure at Rangers but you basically have an almost guarantee of winning a trophy or two there.

So for me only really Rodgers has tentatively the experience required to handle the expectations here

Even he is tentative.

I mentioned him before, I'd throw everything at Lucien Favre.

A veteran with extensive experience.

Think it's what we need, forget domestic nonsense.

Just get the most qualified experienced man we can.

Couldn't see a dedicated next manager thread... please merge/ delete if we already have one.

First up: Marcelo Gallardo

we need a next manager Poll

[BradWhite]

I wouldn't mind Rodgers or Potter but I doubt they'd want to be involved in Championship football.

I can’t see it either to be honest.

Like everyone else I’ve no idea who it will be, but I’d be surprised if it’s any of those two.

[hector]

exciting isn't it??

[Jaydog]

The market is constipated. There’ll be a movement once the ownership is complete. Hopefully not another turd but it’s fairly likely it will be

[geronimo]

merlin the magician could be manager next season , but again without the sufficient financial backing leeds has a club will continue to be in the doldrums for an indefinite period of time . the game is solely based on money nowadays and unless leeds attract investors or owners that put their money where their mouth is nothing will change , the 49ers will be the latest in a long line of owners who will fall by the wayside in the not too too distant future . because ultimately the game is not a sport anymore its a business , that fleeces its fans through sheer loyalty and in the hope that one day it will change . in leeds uniteds case it aint happened in fifty years and wont happen anytime soon under this constant change of ownership and managerial appointments that happen on an all too regular basis now .with the same end result FAILIURE .

[Jaydog]

Farke price crashed. Make of it what you will

[Jaydog]

Daniel Farke's record in the Championship is exemplary, but when it comes to the Premier League, it's a very different story.

The German took charge of 49 top flight games across two separate seasons, winning only six.

That means he leaves Carrow Road with a win percentage of just 12.2% at Premier League level - the lowest of any manager to take charge of more than 43 games in the competition's history.

FARKE’S RECORD

P208 W87 D49 L72 F294 A290 (41.8pc wins)

Premier League

P49 W6 D8 L35 F31 A101 (12.2pc wins)

Championship

P138 W71 D38 L29 F217 A153 (51.4pc wins)
