Out if Interest.. who do u think would be available in the summer that isn’t now?
I think you start at ground zero in the summer assuming we survive, with another year of the contracts in the managerial market.
Inevitably you have turnover in that time, take your pick really, there will be 100s of names in turnover, or more available as contracts progress and clubs perhaps more open to accepting comp than they are half way during the season.
In short, it’s a much better market then right now.
Right now your poaching or looking for someone out of work, so the market is contracted. Clubs don’t want to loose good managers half way through the season, hence we’re looking at the likes of Rooneys and out of work managers have failed somewhere else hence out of work, Lampard - it’s poor fare. We also have t8me in the summer to put a responsive plan in place, rather then grabbing at straws like we seem to be at the moment.
All bets off I’d go hard for Potter in the summer, I want someone who can build if left alone for three years and has an eye for a player, who can set up to get results in this league and work toward a progressive outcome incrementally. If we need the bring the DOF there to so be it. I want stability, if that means root and branch - all the better. I want incremental progress, year on year, I don’t want hit and hopes shooting for the stars Hollywood bs - trying to over compensate and luck out for CL place.
