Toussaint Posted May 11 Posted May 11 I think I’d prefer Delia Smith to Still Will. I was extremely underwhelmed when I became aware of the potential of having Russel Martin as our manager, I feel even more underwhelmed, if that were possible, by this possibility. 1
Badger Posted May 11 Posted May 11 18 hours ago, MindtheGab said: It's Rohl vs Still Surprised if true. 9 hours ago, West end Saints said: Just playing around with chatgpt and thought would ask who we should have, to get us promoted with preference to high energy football.... Based on your criteria — successful promotion campaign, attacking high-energy football — here's how the four candidates stack up: --- 1. Steve Cooper — Best Fit Pros: Promotion experience: Took Nottingham Forest from the bottom of the Championship to the Premier League in 2022. Championship savvy: Knows how to build momentum over a long campaign. Flexible but intense: Teams play with good structure and energy; can adapt between possession and pressing styles. Cons: Not known for ultra-attacking football; more pragmatic when needed. Premier League tenure with Forest turned more conservative. Verdict: Most proven at getting promotion quickly — your safest and strongest bet for the goal. --- 2. Danny Röhl — Rising Star Pros: High-energy football: Transformed Sheffield Wednesday with an aggressive pressing style. Tactical pedigree: Coached under Hasenhüttl, Nagelsmann, Flick — elite footballing minds. Modern coach: Brings intensity, tactical structure, and ambition. Cons: No experience gaining promotion (yet). Very new to head coaching — still proving consistency across a season. Verdict: High-upside gamble — could bring both promotion and exciting football, but riskier than Cooper. --- 3. Will Still — Potential but Unproven Pros: Young, modern coach who favors attacking football. Strong communicator with players; brought success to Reims (France). Cons: No Championship experience. No track record of promotion or managing in England. Verdict: Exciting idea, but a real risk given lack of experience with English football or promotion races. --- 4. Frank Lampard — High Profile, Low Reward Pros: Knows English football well. Promoted Derby to the play-offs with an attacking style. Cons: Poor recent record: struggles at Chelsea, Everton. Questionable tactical identity and adaptability. No promotion success despite big resources at Derby. Verdict: Big name but least suited based on recent record and inconsistency. --- Final Ranking (Best to Worst Fit for Your Goals): 1. Steve Cooper – proven, safe choice with promotion on his CV. 2. Danny Röhl – high-upside, exciting gamble. 3. Will Still – potential for future, but premature for this role. 4. Frank Lampard – not aligned with success or style objectives. Personally my feeling is that Danny Rohl would be the best fit and connect with the fans best Evemn more surprising that it hasn't researched a few other names mentioned on here, Bo Svennson, Rodger Schmidt, Marco Rose etc.... Pretty bloody lazy by Chapgpt or whatever.
Badger Posted May 11 Posted May 11 Thinking about the Rohl interview highlighted on here a couple of days ago, fuck all in it in my view other than a bit of self -marketing on his part. Have to remember his stock is probably higher here than it is in Germany. I don't think it would come as a surprise if he is keen to move back to Germany with a young family and you wouldn't begrudge him that. Die Frau und die Kinder kommen zuerst, Brian * (as he might say in Germany - according to Google Translate). On a downside on this though, Rohl has come across well in the interviews I've seen and what I've previously read but I don't think this reflects well on him or his agents. Bloke is still under contract to Sheff Weds so not good to be hawking yourself to the media in this fashion. In my view anyway. We know how we'd feel if it was our manager doing it. *The wife and kids come first Brian

I don't know why but I think I would prefer him to Rohl who I think still would prefer a job nearer to his home in Germany.

TBH there's no outstanding candidate that everyone can get behind. Just hope that Spors gets whoever he identifies as his number one target and isn't left working his way down a list and eventually settling on someone he's not so sure on. Still think player recruitment will be more key than the new manager but if both Spors and the manager are absolutely aligned on what we need then that's not a bad place to start from.

Rohl is my top choice - has been since January. I think he'll go really far in the game, however, Sheff Weds end of season form & him throwing his toys out of the pram leading to nothing short of unporofessional performances has put a huge concern in my mind. I think Rohl has some questionable loyalty morals. So If he comes and does well, as soon as a bigger side show interest, he'll be off. I also suspect he's probably holding off to see if something a bit bigger and better comes up. But you know what, I'm okay with that. I'd rather someone those better than us want in charge than someone noone wants. Alas, Jones, Selles, Martin & Juric. Still is a bit more of a gamble, but I wouldn't be against it. The summer is going to be huge for us - both players in and out. We need to get the new man in by the start of June latest to give them a summer and pre-season to give us the best chance of sucess. If Rohl wants to wait, we need to move on. 3

With the Leipzig and Wolfsburg jobs up for grabs in Germany, I do think there is a reasonable possibility he's headed back there this summer. Whatever happens, we need to see a show of intent by SR and not muck around with negotiations. Cooper, Rohl, Still, all are acceptable to me. Just get the appointment done and crack on with player trading. 1

Just get the appointment done and crack on with player trading. Agreed. If Rohl gets us up in good shape (autos) he's earned the choice to stay and develop a relatively big Premier league club in terms of pedigree and infrastructure, or consider offers from the bona fide big boys a la Maresca. Cooper, I think should be in the frame as a no-brainer. His real strength is as an organiser, he could well get us up in an automatic place and then may look to stay at Saints to consolidate and build on his experience, we'd be a good fit for that. However, of the trio suggested, the appointment of Still would worry me, and I think he'd be on a hiding to nothing considering where morale is at the club right now. Whoever it is, they need to be in place soon after the season ends to decide who to sell and recruit, and I think that they will be.

I have read that Wolfsburg were lining up Neestrup (mentioned on here before) from FC Copehagen as their DOF had worked with him there before. Leipzig is the interesting one. As it stands they are out of the CL places so may not want a CL ready manager. Glasner was reportedly their preferred option, but he's also linked with Spurs. Edited May 12 by Badger

Interesting how your perception of him has changed from that, but lets not forget Martin is regarded by some as talking a good game. Still hasn't really done enough to convince me he should get a crack at a club like Saints who despite everything this year, are still a good club with potential in the Championship, although that position can soon be eroded by poor selections over a couple of seasons. I have read Still is a West Ham fan by the way, so perhaps that will be his spiritual home, once Potter is found not to be such a messiah after all. Edited May 12 by Badger

If Rohl wants to wait, we need to move on. Agree with most of this. But I'm not too bothered by Sheff Weds end of season form with the other things going on there, and possibly the rumours of him leaving causing performances to drop off. Remenber us after Hessenhutl's retirement interview, and years ago the Strachan to Leeds rumour. The interviews as reported though aren't great.
E_H_Saints Posted May 12 Posted May 12 I think Still would be worth going for as he will cause people to ask questions. Managers won't have many clues to go by. Other teams have taken gambles (Bournemouth, Brighton etc) and others have gone with the been there done that (west ham) which hasn't gone down as they hoped. Then again it worked for Everton so being in the right place at the right time comes to mind. For me it would be a fresh of breath air to try something different and see if we can finally be the team that people think struck gold (like Brighton). It may not work but trying something predictable for me is a bigger gamble as people will judge them harsher and quicker. Clearly just an opinion.
pimpin4rizeal Posted May 12 Posted May 12 Not saying we should, but the thing I like about rusk is he’s giving the impression of awareness of the situation. After suffering Martin and juric who just kept plugging away with their flawed philosophies sticking their heads in the sand and not even changing if their jobs depended on it, it’s refreshing to have rusk just focussing on defence first and keeping us in games. it shows an ability to address and adapt even in hard times: also just because this is his idea in our current predicament doesn’t mean he would play ultra defensively if he was managing us next season theoretically speaking it’s just a tactic used in a dire situation 2

Does it not put you off that because oh his pedigree Munich etc it makes him a fashionable appointment with much higher chances of getting poached like what happened with maresca..

We can probably also hazard a good guess how it might have ended if he’d got us top six for a couple of years and then Liverpool came calling. As for, plenty of managers who might do a decent job, and (stay to) grow with us, who did you have in mind ? That description leads me to the Eustace, Cleverly band, as you’ve perhaps left out one other important bit - someone not sought after further up the food chain at this stage of their career.

He speaks very, very well talks sense seems very grounded and despite the football manager jibes he’s got loads of years experience in coaching, analysis and management working his way up from a bankrupt lower league Belgian team right up to the French top division. He could be a very good appointment but not right now, we need someone to get a grip on things, we’ve been a struggling club for years now, keeping our heads over the water for years before eventually, inevitably going down. We don’t need a yes man or an SR puppet with a philosophy and all that bollocks, we need a leader in the dugout who can build and organise a team. It might be Will Still but I think now might be the wrong time 6
