Not to come across as a turbo negative poster, but; why are the club claiming to be searching for a young and vibrant manager?

We had one in Potter and Tuchel? Not quite kids, however they were both clearly still learning the trade at the top level. Now we are looking at managers who have managed to get promoted from the championship. The business model of the club changes direction like the wind. It is almost like the owners are coping what they're seeing in the media.

Both Potter and Tuchel get a team out of the championship. The difference between them and those being linked is they had experience at managing at the peak of the game (although Potter less so than Tuchel) . But, the club forced unwanted players on them and wondered why it didn't equate to immediate success on the pitch.

If I am one of those on the reported list of candidates, then I'm marking and avoiding CFC. They will be regurgitated before they know it. The club needs to demonstrate what their vision is by supporting a manager with time, not resorcing them with the next big thing and expecting over night success.

I will of course support the chosen manager, but long gone are the days of becoming emotionally invested in them.

Lukakwho, the club sacked plenty of managers under Roman and the majority of fans were mute. If they didn’t give the club success they were shown the door. Using your term they were “regurgitated. ”

I do agree it would be nice if a manager was given time but as things stand today I can’t see any manager who doesn’t get us in the champions league for the 25/ 26 season being in a job for long!

It’s basically what we have been doing for about the last twenty years anyway.

The owners have been grossly incompetent. That's been clear for quite some time now.

I agree Tom, but at least under the previous ownership the fans could understand the logic. Which was orientated towards results.

Currently Tuchel was hooked because Potter was flavour of the month, who in turn was given less than a season. Granted Poch only managed 6th, but there was clear progression. I'm not privileged to know what is happening internally, from the outside though it looks chaotic at best.

Good luck to whoever gets the job, they will need it.

Lukawho, I never understood the logic of our previous owners sacking the likes of Carlo and I certainly never understood the logic of selling Tomori or signing Bakayoko. There were plenty of things under RA that were a mystery to me and maybe others but to a certain extent it didn’t matter because we were successful and there is the big difference.

You are correct about us fans not being privileged to know what is happening internally.

I have no idea why TT got sacked but his football was in my opinion a durge.
