Sanguine Brobers, do you think a different manager could get a better tune out of this group, or is it just an awful squad filled with terrible purchases?
Dunno, he's not a bad manager.
For example, If you had to choose between ETH and Slot based on their records over a similar period you'd defo go with ETH. (I'm aware you may recruit for a style that fits your squad). It's interesting for a couple of reasons. First the obvs similarity and second the transition. LFC seems to have managed it correctly whereas Moyes came into a successful squad (champions) and was like 'nah, fcuk this I'm changing it all!'
Is he the right guy? Prolly not but I'd keep him until the end of the season unless a complete disaster (e.g. Kenny Dalglish's 2nd coming)
ETH;AjaxCL: Semi-Final, (very unlucky(?) to go out on a late away goal. Beat RM 4-1 at the Bernabéu and Juventus 2-1 away)
Eredivisie: 2018–19, 2020–21, 2021–22 (was top during canceled Covid season) (averaged 100+ goals a season)
KNVB Cup: 2018–19, 2020–21; runner-up: 2021–22
Win: 73.5%
He also finished 3rd in the prem and won two cups.
Slot; FeyenoordEredivisie: 2022–23
KNVB Cup: 2023–24
UEFA Europa Conference League runner-up: 2021–22
Win: 65.5%
btw pretty much every new manager has come in, done well for a bit, and then it's turned to shit. So a new manger replacing ETH and then doing well for a bit means nothing to me (seen it before).
LVG: top 4, FA Cup, sacked
Jose: 6th (EL Win), 2nd, sacked
Ole: 3rd, 2nd, sacked
