2024/25 League 1 Champs?

if anybody is watching sky sports, he is basically outlining exactly what we need to be doing…..

he’s my choice if MR goes, he’s a coach, and a good one, and a sensible one, and a young one, and I think he’s done more than enough to demand respect from the players and get them playing football properly

…and he’s from just down the road too

Can’t see him dropping down to the championship especially while Chelsea are paying his wages.

It's taken 18-months and many job offers, but finally he gets the lower half Champ club, with a coaching structure he can't change, that he has been looking for!

yeah point taken, although do you know for certain he’s had many job offers?

maybe he’d see it as a challenge?

anyway, I was only saying he’s the kind of coach we need, in the hypothetical situation we are looking, many ifs and buts

Not a chance, the only way it could be more unlikely is if GIMOC said it was nailed on.

he hasn’t turned down Deadly Doug and the mighty Sky Blues though has he…!!

he’s just said he’s open to anything, doing similar to he’s done before lower leagues and be a part of a journey, working and developing players, he’s almost writing our job description live on Sky - it’s nailed on!

He might come if geographic location is a big factor for him! Personally I am not thinking past the next two home games where 4-6 points would be galvanizing and kick start our season. As bad as it is right now, it could also get really encouraging quite quickly.

He’s waiting for the England job, which I hope he gets.

If MR wanted to leave, he’d be on a lot of people’s lists… but he’s said no to Ajax, he wouldn’t be coming here

Was thinking exactly the same!!!
"Instructions need to be clearly communicated and the players then need to buy into them and carry them out" struck a particular chord!

Maybe he wants to stay local, we're not far off Ajax, competing for similar player's anyway?

no inference, it’s entirely relevant given the current situation and although the thread was slightly pie in the sky I don’t know how much longer MR will get if things don’t start getting better

shame, as he’s given us some of the best recent times, but no place for sentiment when football is a results game and you’re not getting those results

If I was to go for anyone I’d wait for Steve Cooper to become available…which from
the noise coming down from the M69 might not be that long away.

They were clear enough against spurs but the same players couldn’t do it against Swansea ? That tells me it’s the players not the manager ?

If we’re going for managers that will never dream of managing us then my vote would be Klopp.

OK stop this sillyness everyone. MR's is a legend already and missed a premiership by a penalty miss. He now has more tools in his box and it will come good.
The moaning should be about the reason we are not yet getting it right or it could be said even looking we are heading in the right direction. So back with the changes that were made since Vivash's departure and I think you will find your answer.

Pep has been looking a bit unhappy at City, he's also not have to buy any new ties.
