manji Posted 7 May, 2023 Share Posted 7 May, 2023 No idea who the new manager is other there is a shortlist in place. Ambivalent about Potter although he was on the list when we got Ralph. I remember the stories about him going out and helping clearing the snow when he was manager of Östersund. He was clearly hampered by the clusterfuck that was Chelsea’s board.

I assume Potter would have to give up his remaining Chelsea contract for a lower salary if he joined us, and if so he'd be mad to do so. Maybe he could come to a deal with Chelsea where they just pay him the difference for the payoff period. That way he doesn't lose any money, and Chelsea pay him less than if he was spending his time gardening. If they had just paid him a lump sum compensation when they sacked him then of course the above is moot. I'm not sure how it works in general.

I think that managers can choose to be paid the contract monthly, like Mark Hughes did with us. He didn't even do any media work I this period, just bled us dry.

Lampard more experience in the Championship and technically more managerial jobs than Viera. Gerrard at Rangers lasted longer than Viera and Viera has yet to do more than 2.5 years anywhere with his only job in English football last under 2 years. Viera's last two jobs have ended with the sack and most fans far from on their feet but instead bored out of their brains. But sure, let's get Viera in for experience, long term and excitement. Let's just avoid clearly limited managers and have some mystery and hope in our next appointment please. All these managers have shown their ceiling.

He was lumbered with the job because Shields left for Chelsea. Which clearly went well for Chelsea. Wilcox is in charge of recruitment now. I’d put good money Jason has a few incomings and outgoings lined up already and again we have have plenty put aside for relegation that’s on top of any money we make on sales.

He didnt improve Derby. They finished 6th when he took over and he took them to the same position, failing in the playoffs again. This all despite him having the pick of Chelseas best youth players in Mount and Tomori, as well as Harry Wilson from Liverpool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
