Bordelas favourite? This could be fun.

"Anti-football", also known colloquially as haramball or football terrorism, is a playing style in association football that emphasises a highly defensive and aggressive approach, relying mainly on passing and involving the deployment of all team members except the striker behind the ball.
The new crazy gang, to be fair to Bordelas he has never had any decent players, Uche was his best player, if he signed, and he probably wont, he would be there 2nd biggest departure, beaten only by Cucurella 18m to Brighton 5 years ago, and there highest transfer fee paid since 23/24 is 4m euros, so perhaps he will expand his attacking parameters, or maybe not.

Doesn't that sum up Glasners tactics perfectly, but with better players?

I don’t get the negativity towards Lampard. Ok , he’s got a bit to prove at Premier League level - but he did ok with the Chelsea team he had under the transfer embargo and kept a rubbish Everton team in the Premier League under pretty difficult circumstances. He did a good job at Derby (narrowly missing out on promotion) and the same can be said of last season when he took a pretty average Coventry team to the playoffs. This season he’s been given some backing and Coventry look odds on to win the Championship .

I think he is widely respected by current players for what he achieved as a player himself- which MAY be of value in attracting players to the club.

I have seen a bit of Coventry this season and the play some good stuff.

I’m not saying Lampard would be my first choice - just that I don’t understand why anyone would see him as the worst option out there.
It was Dyche that came in and rescued them. Lampard was taking them down. He is a good Championship manager but cannot do it in the Prem imo. Another Neil Warnock
 
Holloway didn't transform us, he took over freedmans team that were flying and nailed on for top to a team that just about scraped into the play offs, then was completely out of his depth in the prem
Holloway was out of his depth in the Prem, Freedman was found out and ultimately ended up out of his depth in the Championship! At both Bolton and Forest

In fairness to Holloway, he admitted to being out of his depth. We owe something to him. But we owe a lot to Pulis with what was really a terrible squad - on paper. He did what was needed with the players he had. It's not just Glasner these days either that I'm having a go at. Was recently discussing why modern managers seem more about the system than the team or the opposition. Pragmatism seems to have gone out of the window. It makes me think Moyes will do well. He's practical, not set in one style. The back five thing is just too trendy too. It does not have to be a back five if it's not working. Back five or nothing. We're seeing that with Glasner now: all system or nothing. We're on the nothing.

I agree on the stubborn side. I dont think its realistic to rip up the system and play a totally different way because a couple of players are unavailable but there could definitely be a few tweeks. Some flexibility to change things slightly to get a bit more out of them.
It would then be seemless to change it back again when everyone is back.

Google Haramball on wiki, you may be surprised, the England manager is a fan
 
Frank did very well at Brentford he put together a wonderful side for little money,then he made the mistake of going to one of the three clubs that destroy managers and fail to foster them West Ham, Spurs and Man Utd are managerial grave yards .I have no reason to believe that he has suddenly become a bad manager overnight, he would be good in our clubs way of doing things.
 
I see the biggest mover in the market over the last 24 hours is Rob Edwards, who is someone I would welcome with open arms in our hot seat.

1: Took a micro club from League 1 to the Premier League, and almost kept them up on a shoestring budget. Luton were also on the end of at least three horrific VAR decisions costing them 6 crucial points, which ironically was the amount of points they needed to stay up. Earned huge amount of respect from Klopp and Arteta along the way for not changing their entertaining possession based style that got them promoted, and not parking the bus as many promoted sides do.

2: Appointed as Boro boss in the summer and became the first boss in a decade to get them firing and left them in second place in the championship to join Wolves.

3: Although it seemed a strange decision at the time, leaving a club destined for promotion to the Premier League for a club nailed on for relegation and labelled as the worst team to grace the Premier League, unbelievably he now has them on a 6 match unbeaten run in all competitions, which seemed impossible for a club who lost 12 of their opening 14 Premier League games. Before that they conceded a 97th min own goal to go down 2-1 at the Emirates, even having a goal harshly ruled out for offside.

4: Ex Palace, with family in the area as he met his wife whilst playing for us.

5: A manager who wears his heart on his sleeve and likes to build a solid rapport with the fans by making sure they are constantly heard by the owners.

6: Hugely invested in youth football and giving his youngsters a chance. For example, in less than two months, he has taken a couple of unknown 17/18 year olds from the Wolves set up to both of them starting the last few Premier League games, coinciding with this unbeaten run they are on. I have to admit that one of them, Matteas Mane looks like the real deal

I’m sure we’d all be understanding if he is appointed our manager and then ups and leaves us after a few months!!

If he gets us up the league we'd be understanding if he got a gun and started shooting at every match.
Just as long as he doesn't slag the club off.
 
It’s a yes from me. And a free season ticket in the directors box. 🙌
