Succession Planning - Managerial Wishlist

[EFCPaul]

Couldn't care less about him being a dirty ex RS he'd be brilliant here but he'd not entertaining us lets be honest

That's what I mean, he would never consider us even if the Friedkins get the house in total order and wanted to seriously invest. His alliegience to them will always mean he won't want to take any PL job in the North-West. Think Newcastle or Spurs should make a run at him though.

Why would he want the aggro, bullets in the post from @SJB and that

Alonso is a Basque who played for and managed the hated Real Madrid.

In short: he doesn't do football allegiances.

Playing for Liverpool and managing Everton wouldn't even touch the sides.

He was the highest rated young coach in the world before Real so I doubt he'd even entertain Tottenham either. He'll probably rest for the rest of the season seeing how the Slot situation pans out

Dave, you know what their mob are like, the poor sod would be getting bullets through his letterbox if he turned up here.

Good shout Windy, his star has fallen because of getting Ipswich relegated but that doesn't demean him as he's an excellent young coach. Jurgen Klopp had a relegation on his CV and begrudgingly we have to admit he was brilliant for the RS so I'd be very happy with McKenna

Looks like he's going to get Ipswich promoted twice in three seasons and got them over the hump of relegation and a bad start to this season.

Excellent coach of young players, too.

I'd go all out to get him.

Spurs to be fair to them have the London pull (always a factor for foreign coaches), plus more room for big signings considering they have been in Europe more often than not the last decade or so. Still, I think Alonso at Newcastle would be a combination that would strike major fear into the likes of City, Arsenal and the RS.

Alonso could get us playing like Leverkusen - TFG should go for it.

We've had the fat Spanish waiter, I don't want a thin one.

No more RS

Ipswich basically bought all the best performing championship players last season, so they could come straight back up (if they went down which they did, some of them looked hideously out of their depth in the Premier league). After a poor start to this season they are now on course for promotion. He’s a very good and innovative coach is McKenna, he would certainly bring a very different approach to what our recent managers have.

how is Stephen Schumacher getting on? he was highly rated a year or so ago

 

[Swartzy]

No one, and I genuinely mean it, would've liked Glasner here before he went to Palace.

Just a thought that there might be a bit more to football than "PL experience".

It's an ugly term that carries to much weight..

 

[matty1878]

I wouldn't be averse to Kieran McKenna, tbh. He's done a very good job at Ipswich, imo, and I think their board should be commended for sticking with him after failing the impossible task of staying in the PL.

he would be binned after 3 months!!

plays RB

Why would he?

he is a good shout as far as the British candidates go, there are no others id want tbh.
