Everything I’ve read about him since is good. Danish as well so will no doubt have registered on the Rasmusomiter. But his profile is being raised, and with some of the publicity surrounding him now he may well seek something more ambitious than an immediate relegation scrap. Unfortunately we are a less attractive proposition now than we might have been in the summer when a new manager might have had the option of forming his own team from day one.

Its boring football I want someone who makes us win games and i'll take Cruyff's view on it over yours. 3-4-2-1 is a variation of the 3-4-3 shape, a highly attack-minded formation first developed by tactical mastermind and pioneer of Dutch 'Total Football' Johan Cruyff. It's made up of 3 central defenders, 4 midfielders, 2 inside forwards, and 1 central striker, often with a real emphasis on offensive play. https://jobsinfootball.com/blog/tactics/3-4-2-1-formation/ Edited 2 October, 2022 by Convict Colony 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appy Posted 2 October, 2022 Share Posted 2 October, 2022 The only thing they club have yet to try in order to change things is Ralph going.

Ralph's. The Ralph fan boys have had years of blaming anyone but Ralph and delving deep into history for excuses. So the exact same will apply once he's gone. Anything shit that happens in the next two full seasons at least can be blame squarely at this current manager. If Puel and Les Reed can be blamed for 2021 drops in form then fuck me the next two years are Ralph's fault if it goes wrong. 100%. I know the Ralph cult are desperate for a new manager to fail so they can launch into the shitty "be careful what you wish for" routine. But sorry, the excuses you've churned out then can be applied in the future. The Ralph shadow will cast long and dark over this club. We need a strong new manager to really stop the rot. 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would personally be surprised if Selles isn't our next full term manager. Thomas Frank is an example of someone, brought in as an assistant who simply got promoted. When Dean Smith left this is the statement Brentford put out... "We feel the club is in a good place and we don't think it is time for big changes. Promoting Thomas ensures that we can keep building on the foundations that are already in place and working."

Not saying that's what i'd be happy with, but it may be what SR have planned whether it happens now or in the summer. I think this is probably true. Getting a new manager might mean having to have a coaching team too so this would be the logical step. We absolutely can't hang around as with the Wolves and Leicester situations the talent pool may well be diminishing quite quickly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Nimbus Posted 2 October, 2022 Share Posted 2 October, 2022 If (and I would hope when) a new manager comes in, I just want some structure in our play. I’m sure some decent structure can prevent the constant leaking of goals at pivotal moments in games and also conceding multiple goals one after the other.

kwsaint Posted 2 October, 2022 Share Posted 2 October, 2022 When NA was sacked, Saints management had spent weeks lining up MP. Hopefully current management are doing something similar - quietly lining up Ralph's replacement so that they can get the new manager in immediately. My money is on that the switch will take place when the world cup break starts, so that the new manager has time to work with the squad without games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
