If Potter is available then yes, second choice Frank and not sure who overseas would do a job.
I`m going away for 2 weeks but happy to take it on if they can wait.

Cant believe theyve actually sacked him, thought it would drag on a bit longer.

Not sure who should take over but I'd preferably want someone with premier league experience.

Armas will take charge against MU. A swift appointment is likely

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Mon Feb 06, 2023 4:04 pm  

They must have already got someone lined up as it`s too risky running without a manager for 2 or 3 weeks especially where we are in the table.
Expect new person to be in charge by end of next week.

Rumours going around that Kinnear has gone too

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Mon Feb 06, 2023 5:55 pm  

Mancini would be a great shout. I’d be happy with Coberan too., there’s loads out there who’d be a big upgrade on yank Lampard. Big big decisions to make.

Andoni Iraola is also on the shortlist according to Phil Hay. Currently managing Rayo Vallacano in La Liga. Only 40, but has done a great job at Rayo and got them in the top 8. They beat Real over the weekend. He also played under Bielsa at Bilbao

Gaining a big rep in Spain. Bielsa looks to have had a big influence on him by the way he makes his team play. Smallest budget in La Liga too. Think they’re 5th. Would be a gamble but I like look of what he’s done. Big league experience too

Radz just tweeted that we should announce the new manager tonight, or tomorrow morning.

It won't be Corberan, he's signed a new deal at WBA.

Arne Slot from Feyenord is the new favourite. Feyenord are top of Dutch league with only one loss from 20 games. He's previously managed at AZ Alkmaar, and finished 2nd on goal difference difference, they would have probably won the league had the season not been cancelled because of covid

2/5 on Favourite now. Looks a top manager. Surprised it could happen that quickly though if it’s him
