Who should replace Frank Lampard?

[Charles Hawtrey]

WE wont stay up with Dyche's 4-4-2 . Drawing your way to safety is the hardest route. I feel Bielsa would let in as many as he scored without massive player purchases. Hassenhuttl is just all wrong for us on lots of fronts. He is a bit of a cross between the two of them and would turn us into Poundland redshoite.

The shortlist has to be better than this if we want to avoid relegation.

Maybe time to go down the Bournemouth or Brighton route... Bring in a young up and coming English manager from the lower league and also young players from the championship and lower.. Seems to go well for Bournemouth and Brighton

Based on what?

Based on the position we’re in and the players we have available. IMO our squad suits a 442 and Dyche knows how to set up a 442. He’s also already based in the north west and knows some of our players well.

Why why why why why do they feel they have to have PL experience? All them managers linked have been sacked by teams in relegation battles

 

[Daytripper]

What a grim list of candidates. Sums us up really. I’m as bad as I haven’t a clue who else to suggest.

Bielsa seems the odds on favourite, not sure about his man for man marking all over the pitch, it will be football suicide....... it would be half decent with a good side let alone a team with the players we have.

?

Hopefully it works, but I`m sceptical....

Dyche would get his relegation hat trick with us...... took Burnley down twice.

Isn't that how we ended up with the Fat Spanish Waiter?

Martin Russell, plays great football and is used to working on a small budget... I think he is the next manager to come to the premier league.

Bournemouth are as likely to go down as us this year

 

[Ufotone]

Back the manager whoever it is.......

His issue was that he absolutely didn’t know how to set up a 442 though! Dyche’s Burnley were really effective at pressing - quality let them down in the end - FSW didn’t get us to press at all most of the time.

 

[JD98]

Fundamentally it comes down to risk vs reward. By getting Dyche we’re minimising the number of factors at play - and therefore minimising the risk. Bielsa probably has the highest ceiling, but it’s absolutely plausible that we don’t win again with his kamikaze tactics being bedded in. That Arsenal game in particular could get really messy.

Completely agree that we should be considering wider targets too btw, but I just don’t think it’s likely. I’d love them to get some young European tactician I’ve never heard of.
