Haven't been sold on the idea personally but having spoke to a Manc at work I'm a bit more on board. Apparently his scouting at United was really good but they didn't buy the players he identified. Scouting is obviously being an area we have lacked in so I feel as much as we need a good manager, we need one who is well connected and I guess Ole is given his history in the game |  | | |  |

Did very well with an excellent squad at Manchester United. A legend there.
Been very average / poor elsewhere though.
Also concerned if he would use the current back room staff. Perhaps some, but equally they didn’t excel in the PL last time out.
Personally, I think we need a complete break. This appointment still has the KM factor attached … OGS being his mate. Not convinced. [Post edited 17 Jun 10:40]

I think you would have to trust MA's judgement if we chose to appoint him. There are probably 'sexier' options but I am not sure they come with any less risk. I really don't think there is an obvious stand-out candidate. You are looking for someone that is a good personality/cultural fit as much as anything else and someone that can fit into our structure as it stands. |
I am not trying to be difficult or hark back. It's a genuine point. I'm less comfortable with MA's judgement than I was before a certain incident. |  |

Mark Ashton’s supposed coach hiring super power. Before Ipswich
Aidy Biothroyd
Lee Johnson
Brendan Rodgers.
Mixed bag. I’d say add Ipswich in and he’s at 50/50 success rate. | | | |

I've heard interviews with OGS and he said he was always writing notes on what SAF did and said at certain times and he'd ask him why. So we have no idea if he'll be a good coach or good tactically but he's probably good at the mental side of things for the players.
His assistant at Besiktas was Erling Moe who's currently a manager at another Turkish club, so I don't think he'd come with him, and I can't see Carrick or McKenna being his assistants again!! |  |

| OGS on 11:01 - Jun 17 with 1321 views | dirtyboy |
I'm really surprised at the level of negativity aimed at Ole, and he's not even been appointed yet.
I've posted elsewhere about Besiktas, did better than the other dozen or so managers they've had in the 4.5 years we've had McKenna, so looked like a hiding to nothing job.
Cardiff too, newly promoted from Championship...we all know that's another hiding to nothing, can't be expected to survive, especially with that nut case they had in charge.
United came second to Pep's City. OGS would have had a say in transfers for sure, but nothing like the Fergie days.
Woodward was heavily involved with teh recruitment department, but I'm sure Ole had ideas. He didn't want Ronaldo (and they shouldn't have signed him either).
If he comes, I think we can all say who he has with him on the coaching team will be very important, but that's the same of any manager/coach. Not sure who fits that bill?
He's more of a manager first then coach, whereas McKenna feels more like coach first then manager.
He'd get my full support, not saying he's my favourite as I like the though of young, new, exciting, but....we're at a different place to where we were last time we got to the PL. |  | | |

The key would be who he surrounds himself with. He did that very well at Utd. I'm sure he's aware of his shortcomings, and like a manager in ANY industry, the smart thing is to recruit a team around you who can give you what you need. |  | | |

He suggested they buy Haaland before he made his Salzburg debut, wanted Kane but Man U said he was too old, Declan rice whilst at West Ham, caicedo but was told they need players premier league ready and Jude Bellingham whilst he was at Birmingham.
I think we could confidently say they would have been half decent. |
Superficially those things all sound like they're to his credit, but it's fairly easy to make an opposing case for most of them and they're all in the context of being at Man Utd, not a club like ITFC:
He suggested they buy Haaland before he made his Salzburg debut - OGS is Norwegian and presumably well connected so having his finger on the pulse of a good talent coming out of Norway isn't remarkable. Also, the kind of talent that goes to Salzburg has made a deliberate choice about their career path and it probably won't involve going to Man Utd at a very early stage in their career. He could have suggested it all he liked, it was not likely to happen.
Wanted Kane but Man U said he was too old - saying "I'd like to sign the most reliable English goal scorer in the Premier League please" at any point in Kane's career since 2018 is hardly the work of a genius.
Declan Rice whilst at West Ham - see above but change goal scorer to midfielder
Caicedo but was told they need players premier league ready - when was this? While Caicedo was still in Ecuador? If so, good work but it took Brighton the best part of two seasons to turn him into the player he is now. Was OGS saying that he could drop Caicedo straight into the Man Utd team and it would work?
Jude Bellingham whilst he was at Birmingham - this is a combination of the Haaland and Kane/Rice arguments. Probably wasn't at the stage of unearthing an undiscovered gem and according to Bellingham's Wikipedia page he chose Dortmund over Man Utd when it came to leaving Birmingham. OGS was manager of Utd at the time but clearly he, and others at the club, couldn't convince Bellingham (or his parents/representatives) to join them. |  | | |

There is honestly nothing impressive about identifying those players. Haaland and Bellingham were two of the most highly rated young prospects at the time. Caicedo would have already been at Brighton. If you're at a United you can recommend any player in the world. There's no way we'll be benefiting from any scouting he does for us, in our position. |  | | |

The fact that who he hires to do the coaching is the major consideration is insanely worrying to me.
Not only are you at the mercy of them leaving but I think nowadays you need a manager who gains respect via there ability to improve players, not someone who worked with Fergie and has therefore learnt when to effectively lose it and gain respect through fear. | | | |

Well if he wants to come on board as chief scout then he’s more than welcome.
I’m also Not totally sure how much credit we can give someone because they identified harry kane and Declan rice as talents worth signing.
But I am in a negative spiral about this so I’ll just wait and see. He seems very likeable and I’d rather stay up with him than Rodgers or Dyche. | | | |

Re: the question of:-
"You'd also have to question whether the infrastructure put in place to conduct a global search is really what it's been made out to be."
It made me compare the names that we've been linked with versus the names that Hearts have been linked with for their managerial vacancy.
Tony Bloom of Brighton has a stake in Hearts and from reading in the press Tony Bloom and his Jamestown Analytics have a big influence in their managerial search. If we accept that we are trying to emulate clubs the likes of Brighton, Bournemouth and Brentford for example then looking at how they recruit both players and managers and learning lessons from that by building the scouting networks and databases of information is critical.
Take Brighton's managerial appointments and ignoring the recency bias of viewing Graham Potter's record at Chelsea and West Ham you'd have to say that Graham Potter's managerial spell at Brighton was a success but after that they went on to have further success with Roberto De Zerbi and now Fabian Hürzeler.
Furthermore if you look at Brentford and Bournemouth they don't really seem to get derailed by managers leaving because they have such amazing structures and recruitment networks that the club is on a more firm footing to survive the shock of a manager leaving and that is what we must be aiming to emulate.
But back to the names of potential managers linked with the Hearts job from links such as these:-
https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/
https://www.thescottishsun.co.
So you've got names linked to the Hearts job including:-
René Hake - A dutch manager of several clubs in the Netherlands but has also been an assistant manager at Man Utd so has experience of the PL:-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Dick Schreuder - A Dutch manager who has managed in the Netherlands and Spain plus he has a consistently good win percentage as a manager of different clubs. He doesn't immediately appear averse to coming to England because he played a couple of games for Stoke and was also briefly part of the management team with Edgar Davids at Barnet. His win percentages as manager are VV Katwijk (games = 113 win percentage = 61.06%), PEC Zwolle (g = 64 wp = 54.69%), Castellón (g = 68 wp = 54.41%) and NEC (g = 41 wp = 51.22%).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Felice Mazzu - a Belgium manager with a lot of experience under his belt.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Karel Geraerts - a Belgium who has managed in Belgium, Germany and France and so may have a good network of players to target:-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Sébastien Pocognoli - a Belgium with Italian descent who has played in England for both WBA and Brighton and who has managed in both Belgium and France as Belgium U18 side so again might be one with a good idea of players to target.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Alexander Blessin - a German manager who has managed in Germany, Belgium and Italy and so again could be someone with a good idea of players to target.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
From the list above I'd probably say that Dick Schreuder stands out to me due to his consistently good win percentage at various clubs. However he's currently in a job and he got NEC and got them to a third place finish in the Eredivisie therefore getting them into the 2026/27 Champions League qualifying rounds this summer so he may not want to walk away from that. Of the managers currently out of work and available I'd say that perhaps Sébastien Pocognoli is of interest given that he's played in the UK so seemingly might be interest in coming to England to manage.
I'm not saying that one of the names above is perfect for Town because I don't know enough about them to know but it just strikes me as to if we're truly casting our net wide looking in all markets for a new manager these are the types of managers we need to be considering not just the same old names of say Gary O'Neil, Liam Rosenior or Rob Edwards etc. etc.
Plus I think that as well as getting the right manager recruitment of players is absolutely key to PL survival.
If you look at what Sunderland did last summer it was predominantly really clever recruitment from the European market because there is far better value to be had which is important when as a promoted side you need to recruit say 8-11 players as opposed to established PL sides with more stable squads where they look to recruit say 2-3 players in the summer and can afford to use the UK market more.
For Sunderland I'm sure that their scouting department had a lot to do with player identification but having a coach from abroad in Régis Le Bris can't of done any harm in terms of knowledge of players and contacts. Likewise when you look at Farke at Leeds and the players that Leeds recruited there's a good chance that a lot of that was helped by Farke's contacts and knowledge of European clubs.

I think we can all frame the reports and numbers however we feel fit to suit our narratives (see Darkhorse for the antithesis of my ramblings lol!)
I've taken the positives as I see people learning from past experiences to make them better.
My only minor concern is getting someone decent in the coaching team to support further, I'm assuming Pert and Aluko will stay, but we'll need some extra hands this year imho.
All exciting.

My big reservation with Ole is that when people talk about him the first thing you hear is "great guy, good leader" of course good characteristics but in our position as a club that is likely to be battling relegation surely we need a great coach/tactician first and foremost who will allow us to punch above our weight on the pitch.
I'm not sure Ole is that from what you read. That would be my concern |  |

Several of you are less than positive about OGS - but it seems to me that there is no one that really floats our boat.
We could you for an unknown and strike gold again - but we wont know that until a few months in. Until then it would be a gamble with low confidence levels of paying off.
Or we can go down the route of an OGS or Brendan Rogers - tried and tested and above average success rate in the Prem. They know their way around, have lots of contacts and respect in the game.
At this point in time they are who I'd go with. Are there others with better records? |  |

In terms of whose available I don’t think there are others with better records
Key is how the new man fits with how the club works. Does he ‘get it’? If he’s a Mick style first team, s0d the rest type it’s not going to work. Same with a bomb squad fuse blower like Cook.
If he’s a person who takes an interest in the club and its workings it might well be ok. Coaching staff? He can bring in Guy the Gorilla for all I care as long as the set up works for him.
Whoever comes in is a risk. I just hope he gets support internally and also by supporters to give him the best chance. |  | | |

An interesting approach. I looked at the approach of another club looking for a new manager to see where we might end up if we did the same. I got to another name not yet mentioned - Bruno Genesio
Choosing a manager in the same way Palace have by soupytwist 11 Jun 21:10So if Palace have gone for the bloke that managed the team to finish second in Ligue 1 last season, who managed the team that finished third? And could he be any good?
Ladies and gentlemen I give you Bruno Genesio - previously pretty successful with Rennes and Lyon.
Another thing in his favour is that he left the club at the end of last season so we won’t have to get him out of a current contract.
