Rohl back out to Evs.

Corberan slashed from 6/1 to 7/4.

I don't get the love for Corberan, West Brom mid table in the Championship

I’ve got my heart set on Rohl if I’m honest. I think he’s done a great job at Wednesday, the reaction of thier fans says it all. 
 

he’ll have us playing a much more entertaining (imo), direct style And I’d like to see what he can do with the tools he’d have at his disposal with us. 
 

I don’t think it’ll happen though, unfortunately. 

i think Steve Cooper would be my preferred realistic choice, but think Rohl would be decent. 

Kasper Hjulmand is currently unemployed though so can see us bringing someone like him in until the end of the season or for 18 months.

As I’ve said that.. big bookies movement.

Kasper Hjulmand Evs.

Rohl 7/4

Corberan 4/1

Just means that punters are investing on wagers that they think might come off and win them a packet. It's ok if it's money they could afford to lose.

Hjulmand is known for his possession based football. Goody! To be honest I don't mind it, as long as it's not at the extreme levels of Russball.

John Sitton?

I heard Lego went full Sitton at half time last night. Offered THB & McCarthy outside, said they could bring their mates & their Tomato-Fennel Braised Chickpea dish…

I've only seen Crook/TalkSport link us to Hjulmand, so a pinch of salt required.

Although Jim White claims to be besties with Dragan so maybe he has dropped him some info. 14/1 is a big drop to evens

Lowe thought that appointing football managers was like appointing managers in business.  You make appointments individually, not buy in a team.  This was why Moyes didnt come.  Lowe also believed in promoting through the ranks - hence Steve Wigley and Stuart Gray.  Again, common in business but very unusual in the world of football. 

I think that this season is gone.  Whoever we bring in has to be building for next season and try to move some of the deadwood on in January.  I just want to see a team that it well organised, playing to a sensible system and players giving their best.  Not much to ask really.  And enjoy a few games.

An element of that, and also a theory that clubs got disrupted by coaching teams moving en masse with managers as he experienced with Hoddle so had a bee in his bonnet there.

Agree with the season just being about pride, more organised and fitter players. Squad needs to be smaller in January, quantity over quality for what the 7th year in a row.

Bet365 have suspended betting on Hjulmand

We need one of the newly-proven ITKs to chime in I think.

If he’s half as good as Thomas Frank, he’ll be an upgrade on Lego…

To be fair being an upgrade on him this season is a very low bar !

His managerial record can be seen here.  I know nothing about him, but he's averaged more than a point a games at every club he's managed.  If he can do the same here he'd be a major success (albeit we'll still likely be relegated...).  PL is a step up from what he has managed in the past though...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasper_Hjulmand

To be fair it’s a quantum leap in terms of his league football experience. Biggest charge was a short spell as stopgap at Mainz and failed miserably.

The board tend to go for mediocre managers they can manipulate so they won’t go for a decent name ( even in the unlikely event one was willing to come) so we can expect someone we’ve probably never heard of and who has achieved little or nothing in their career to date but will toe the line

Passhon and stuff. Innit.

TBH though - I don't reallly care who it is, as long as there's some effort and urgency shown on the pitch.

Kjetil Knutsen, has won the Norwegian title in last four seasons with Bodo Glimt. Beat Mourinho's Roma 6-1 in the UEFA conference. Could be the next Thomas Frank

Hjulmand it is then.

Would be a good appointment for Charlton, Plymouth, Stoke, Preston, Pompey - that bracket of clubs at lower Champ/League One. 

Lacks any of the top leagues experience for Southampton Football Club which the club sorely needs and his nationality cements Rasmus’s dismal place in Sports Republic. I’m sure he will be better than Martin but will also do what he’s told by Rasmus Ankerson.

Prepare for life bobbing between Championship and League One if Rasmus keeps control.

My choices:

Graham Potter (not sure he’d come) - proven at getting out of the Championship and staying up.

Steve Cooper (see above).

David Moyes (stop gap only).

Outside of that somebody prepared to bravely fight relegation but inevitably take us down with a view to coming straight back upagain and staying up next time. Anyone other than an unknown only ever managed in lower foreign leagues type person. We really need a manager with both Prem and Championship experience now.

Failing my first two choices I’d take Harry Potter or Tommy Cooper. Either would do a better job than RM has this season.

That isn't true. He was at Swansea for one season and they came 10th. He then joined Brighton who were already in the Premier League.

You have also been a narcissistic, attention seeking 🔔end for years, but you seem to have forgotten to mention that. 😉

I would put money on whoever they hire making us worse.

They could only make us worse if deducting points for shit performances becomes a thing, other than that I think that doing worse than 0.312 points a game is quite a high bar.

Points average worse than I thought!

Never heard of him but my Wikipedia career assessments have never yet been wrong.

This guy would be a terrible appointment - 20 odd games outside of Denmark and he totally shat the bed. Woeful

If he gets the job I'll be going on hunger strike.

So he got out of the championship and stayed up then?  That’s a fact.
