Considering defence is one of our biggest weaknesses, do any of the people that follow De Zerbi know whether his teams are good defensively?

 
There are interesting choice out there but once again it all depend on these SD. 

What do they want? Do they want a manager who will play their player? Do they want specific gamestyle? 

Finding manager who is willing to play the player that this SD want is the tricky part. We do the squad building, you just coach. 

There are many manager who want to play specific gamestyle but they need certain player which again doesn't suit what these SD want. 

If they want manager who is super modern in term of his training and approach to the game, I have said it multiple time, TT is the guy. TT won't play your player though.

They don't care about any of this. They want a young coach that will do as he is told and not say anything when they sell one of their preferred players.

It will be hard for that coach to build any relationship with the player and build accountability in the squad. 

 
If this is the plan, you have the template in Arse n City. 

Haaland 

Doku - Silva - Kdb - Foden

Rodri - Stones 

Ake - Dias - Walker 

Kai

Martinelli - Rice - Ode - Saka

Tomiyasu-Partey

Gabriel - Saliba - White 

Size, power everywhere and you just sprinkle some technical master and no raw player.

At this point, I don’t care.

I have no faith in these owners and whoever they appoint is most likely going to be a ‘yes man’ for them.

 
Frankly anyone - they will only be here a season (maybe half if they are truly sh*t) and then be paid off millions 

 I can’t get excited about this topic as soon as they are through the door they will be odds on being sacked. 
 

But if I was owner and had pick of any manager in the world I think I would bring super Frank back again, JT and Zola as assistants - heart and head moment I expect 😂

 
I went for McKenna. Those who think he can't make the step up to the premier league are nuts in my opinion. He has worked for Mourhino at Manchester United and some of their other coaches, so with Premier League players. Lots of managers have already seen his talent. I would argue that the Portuguese League standard is a a similar level to the Championship although different because its  stepping stone for south american players. Despite that lots think Amorin is the best.

Every manager in the premier league had to make a start in the premier league. Alex Ferguson had never coached in the Premier League, Postecoglou the same, Arteta had only worked for Guardiola. De Zerbi got the job at Brighton after winning the Ukrainian league, his only piece of silverware.

I expect McKenna to likely have a good career in the premier league. I would bet on him winning it with some club during his career. He just has that kind of track record. 

We buy these Brazilan wonder kids because over time for clubs like Porto its proved to be a winning strategy. Identify the best talent and go for it. There is no reason why you can't do that with a manager. You just have to identify the talent. 

Rather than a poll over who you think "should" get the job, I'd be interested in an opinion of what skills the next manager should bring? And how do you identify the talented manager?

 
I think it'll be Darren Farley. I see him a good fit. Gerrard one week, Steve Bruce the next, etc.

It does not matter how good the manager is. Arteta finished 8th with Bellerin, holding, Ceballos. Finished 5th with tomiyasu, white, Partey. 2nd with zinchenko, Saliba. 

Pepe finished 3rd with Bravo, Sagna, Kolarov. 1st with ederson, walker, delph.

He's never won a trophy though

 
Whoever comes in, they need to:

- Actually establish an identity of our own. We are not man city, so stop trying to play like them and find an identity that suits our players. 

- Oversee an overhaul of the training and medical departments. Too many injuries and fitness issues (including not being fit enough under lamps) over the past few years. 

- get a balance between defence and attack. Tuchel stopped conceding goals at the expense of any attacking invention. Lamps (mk1) and Poch both had us scoring but at the expense of a our defense. Lamps was gung ho, poch just couldn't coach the defence. Potter had the best  balance but we couldn't score. 

If the new manager can do all of these 3 things, I don't really care who it is.
