Rohl would be interesting but risky move in that he hasnt achieved anything of note as a manager, so would be pretty fortunate to get a PL job (even if just for a few months).

That said, at least there is some intrigue and clearly a highly rated coach.

The rest are just dull. Given our position we may as well take a bit of a risk as its essentially a free pass til August anyway.

Not quite sure why there is such a lot of hate for the idea of appointing Kasper Hjulmand. He has a pretty good record:

  • He managed to take a weak Danish international squad to the semi-finals of the European Championship.
  • He took a previously little-known Danish Club from obscurity to winning the Danish Superleague (not unlike the success that Graham Potter had in Scandinavia before Swansea appointed him).
  • He has a win record of around 42% which is pretty decent.

Of course, there may be concerns that he flopped outside of Denmark when managing Mainz 05, but some of the best managers are those who have had setbacks and moved on through them to learn from their mistakes (e.g. Eddie Howe).

Having said all of that, I would personally love it if we could appoint Edin Terzić, former manager of Dortmund, who has just about the best stats of any manager with experience of managing in a top European league and who is currently without a job. It is probably highly unlikely that we could attract him to come and manage us, but if we could that would be a major coup!

Take a sip of your drink, breath out and admit that what success now looks for us this season is beating Derby's record of 9 points.

Not sure how many you’ve had, but it’s 11 we’ve got to beat.

There's only 5 points worse we can get. Even a new manager bounce might get us more than 5 points!

I see on Sky bet Kasper Hjulmand has come in as favourite from nowhere...

1/1 on SkyBet but 16/1 elsewhere 🤔

Slightly off topic but I can't for the life of me understand people betting on something as mundane as who the next manager of a football club is going to be. 

because they can make money out of it? Isn't that the point of betting? Or just a bit of fun for others?

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

And you were complaining about people following you around. I’ve made loads of perfectly reasonable posts today yet you chose to pick up on the tongue in cheek one I make and pick up on.

 

The second of two unprovoked attacks in two days the forum victim who just wants to be left alone to post honestly he does, bullshitting complete crumpet.

Danny Rohl would be a good appointment in my opinion. The Wednesday fans hold him in very high regard and his record with that team is very good. I also seem to remember that when he left Saints matters deteriorated under Ralph? Also we are fishing in a pond where most managers know we are going to get relegated. This appointment is looking to next season and beyond as the board in their wisdom left it 6 weeks too late.

No; that's a myth (seems to have become fact) made up by fans to beat Ralph with.

After Rohl left, we still had the covid period and topping the PL to come. We were streaky, but we certainly didn't get worse as soon as he left.

It was a bit of a concern to read that Ankersen was on his phone at half time and there was a flurry of director activity. Almost as if they were determined to stick with RM and then suddenly the penny dropped and they went in to overdrive making calls looking for a new manager.

I do hope they've been searching for a while but with SR, I feel we have a bunch of chancers who basically 'wing it' and lurch from one crisis to the next.

But But But, Ankersen isn't involved at Saints. That's what we keep being told isn't it? 

Fucking wankstain on the club he is. Utter clown.

I missed that snippet about Ankersen, where was that reported?

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.

Until we know what his philosophy is I’m reserving judgement

Will be worthy of an open top bus if we manage it, perhaps even an end of season pitch invasion to celebrate

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

Who the fuck are the Knutsens?

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.

While I would be delighted to get Potter, I fear there is no chance of him coming.  However you are misinformed, he has managed one season in the championship (Swansea) and did not get promoted

There will be so much Fake news around that we should take all reports with a pinch of salt. The Allardyce nonsense needs a whole salt sellar's worth!

Bookies need to get their acts together quickly. Too busy congratulating themselves and spending their earnings over the Strictly result.

“Hjulmand has shown impressive adaptability within games during his time as Denmark manager, with structural changes allowing his side to build attacks according to the opposition’s weaknesses”

Sorry. I don't understand what this means.

Whilst acknowledging that's a shite a source as one could muster, I would not be unhappy if he was instilled as caretaker manager 

At least he has PL experience. SR's trio of clowns had none and it showed.

If Ankerson is involved then we are totally screwed,if we had got Shaun Dyche on board instead of Jones,we would probably not be in this mess now. Personally I hope that we go for Mark Robins, a manager who knows the championship inside out. Unfortunately no one currently at the club has the ability to make a decent call, I might opine.

Token crowd pleasing Rasmus dig and then mentions Dyche. Thanks for popping in it’s time to go.

Yes - absolutely - if Ankersen is involved we might get a rubbish(?) manager like the one he installed at Brentford. What a disaster that would be for all the moaners and Pompey fans who just come here to slag the club off.

Come to think of it, let's recruit Brentford fans to protest against the management of Thomas Frank!

No doubt we'll get "sightings" soon enough, but in the meantime, the bloke who works on my car, his brother's mate reckons he saw Rafa Benitez filling up his Datsun Cherry with unleaded earlier, at the M27 Services. Mind you, he also saw Steve Cooper gulping down a flat white in Costa's, Graham Potter wearing a faded Brighton shirt, Fat Sam scoffing down a double Whopper with cheese and large fries in Burger King, Joey Barton picking a fight with the security guard, Jose Mourinho grabbing a take-away Espresso, Gareth Southgate studying the non-fiction paperbacks in WH Smith, four unidentified Danish geezers in track-suits (they reportedly "looked like the sporty types"), Roy Hodgson doing "squats" in the car-park and, you can believe this or not, it's entirely up to you, Russell Martin "Quaffing" his hair in the Gents and telling anyone who was willing to listen, just how good he is at everything. I don't claim any ITK knowledge here, but the source does seem reliable.
