The thing about Leicester is that they have been the only club to threaten the Big 6 in the last 7 years. They have mixed it with them for a long time despite losing big players to them like Kante, Mahrez, Chilwell, Fofana. Therefore, when the money and recruitment begins to dry up and the...
If De Zerbi really is on Juventus's radar then that is a huge plus. They have no trouble hiring elite managers and you think Tuchel or Poch will be other names on their list.
The immediate thing that worries me about De Zerbi is playing out from the back to draw the high press and using the...
Is it a sideways move?
1. We have a stadium with 14,000 more capacity than theirs and a state of the art training facility.
2. We're in our 6th consecutive year in the Prem, they're in their 2nd.
3. They are the 3rd biggest club just in West London, some QPR fans would argue 4th -and Loftus...
I'm surprised not more people have mentioned Thomas Frank. Is that because people think he wouldn't leave Brentford for Brighton? We have the money if Bloom thought he was the right man.
There are also several good reasons to appoint him:
1. Affordable.
2. Premier League experience.
3. He...
That said, if Potter departs I'd love Bruno to be in charge on Saturday. If the players put in a performance we'll win and the press will be able to ask him "Bruno, how does it feel to be managing Brighton and top of the Premier League?"
A female manager has never done anything in the Football League, let alone the Prem. Furthermore, if Emma Hayes crashed and burned in the Prem it would set back women's football quite badly.
However, there must be EFL sides out there with nothing to lose and the budget to give an Emma Hayes...
I love all of those guys, but in all honesty are they really capable of outwitting some of the best coaches in the world on a weekly basis?
I'm sure that - like Potter - they would manage the group really well and create the right environment, but for a club like the Albion to succeed and punch...
To be fair he has not been allowed to replace Schmeichel or Fofana with quality and I don't think their recruitment has been as good as ours over recent seasons. He would get more help with that at the Albion.
Leicester finished 12th and 9th under Craig Shakespeare and Claude Puel, and Rogers...
As far as I can see, nobody's mentioned the bloke who's up there with Potter, Poch and Zidane at the bookies - Brendon Rogers.
I fancy he would be prepared to resign from Leicester if offered the Albion job. I'm not saying we are a bigger club but we are on different trajectories, the window...
