Next Fulham Manager Odds

[Coastwalker]

Arbeloa would be a great appointment. Would be such a coup getting the latest Real Madrid manager at Fulham and a big show of ambition. He beat City and Pep 5-1 over two legs this season and is very highly rated from his spells managing Castilla (Madrids youth team that plays in Spanish Championship) and his youth player development.

Don't get so carried away, it's hardly a coup to get a manager who lasted 6 mths with their first team and prior to that had zero top flight experience. Just because it's RM doesn't make him a great coach overnight.
That said it could work out and I will get behind whoever we hire.

Apparently over powering in the dressing room,players didn't like him.Might be to do with him getting the boot there.

All I hear is: "Whiny entitled primadonnas don't like being told what to do while being paid millions per month"

I read it somewhere when he was sacked,bullying a young player,nothing to do with telling them what to do,so don't jump to conclusions.
Might even be a load of nonsense.

"The dressing room votes for Arbeloa
But his strongest support doesn't come from the boardroom or external analyses. It comes from the locker room . Arbeloa has won over the group. And that's not just a figure of speech. Key players, influential figures, believe he has managed to build a connection that isn't always easy at Real Madrid and that wasn't present with Arbeloa. Arbeloa gained a more approachable attitude without losing authority, he demanded things rationally on crucial nights, and he tried, especially on important nights, to ensure his team had a clear plan. At a club like Real Madrid, where the locker room is complex and often decisive, that kind of support is invaluable."

So who knows what went wrong.

Fair enough,but the article I read,he had a kid in tears.

I put details of Arbeloa's tactics into AI. Interesting that the greatest concern was that he doesn't have a Plan B. Real to Fulham means that you have to modify your tactics. I think that I would want a manager with greater experience and particularly experience of the Premier League, but sometimes you have to roll the dice and take a chance. Sounds like he favours a more aggressive 4 3 3, but we will see if he takes the job. Easy to play aggressively when you have one of the best couple of teams in your league.

You can always modify the player options, not just the tactics.

So who knows what went wrong.

What went wrong is they didn't win anything and were well behind Barca in the league. The club are notoriously impatient.

If Amorim is out, then by all means: welcome Mr Arbeloa.

Yeah but there was much less of the advanced talks chatter.

Gazzetta dello Sport reporting Amorim is now in pole position for the AC Milan job.

[Fulham 1879]

Arbeloa now 1/6 on with Bet365 and no other bookies even offering a price, according to Oddschecker.

[Rambler]

If Amorim goes for AC there aren't many jobs around for Poch. Go get him Tony. We can wait til after the World Cup

So I've been told Poch has no intention of leaving USA, how true that is I don't know.
The info comes from a friend of mine, but that is no guarantee it's correct.

[AustrianGeezer]

Lopetegui might be worth a shot, but qatari money might be too good to quit

[Slaphead in Qatar]

Arbeloa now 1/6 on with Bet365 and no other bookies even offering a price, according to Oddschecker.

We are taking a big and unnecessary risk if we get Arbeloa. He has coached Real Madrid youth for 5 years and Real Madrid B team for 1 year. It's a big step up to coach Fulham in a league he is not familiar with. We could easily get a more experienced coach.
