They have had long enough to tie Arebola up unless he is on holiday and cant get back for the interview

As mentioen earlier it does feel though like it could be one of the World Cup managers
Remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
I will be as good as I can be and when I cross the finishing line I will see what it got me

Quote from: ffc_forever on June 18, 2026, 04:03:35 PMLampard kissing the badge is the least of our worries. His last two spells managing in the league was poor. Everton 12 wins in 44 and Chelsea 1 win in 11. If Coventry stay up then by all means give him a crack but imagine him taking us down as ex-Chelsea. He's a BIG risk.

I also don't get the Poch love in. Ok so he's manager of the US team and has managed PSG, Chelsea and Spurs but he wasn't amazing at either and came runner up a lot. Given the resources in which he will have with Fulham compared to PSG & Chelsea I see hi. Struggling.
Espanyol won 53 but didn't win 108
Saints won 23 but didn't win 37
Spurs won 160 but did't win 133
PSG won 55 but didn't win 29
Chelsea won 26 but didn't win 25
USA won 15 but didn't win 12.
Expensive gamble based on his past big clubs.

Arbeloa is an also a gamble. Never managed in the league but also has no baggage In It either. A fresh approach, new ideas and a point to prove to Madrid and will be hungry to succeed.

Out the 3 I'd have Arbeloa, Poch then lamps but just my opinion.
Opinions are for us all, any of the managers/coaches being banded about could come and do a great job or indeed a poor job, until that person gets working none of us will know, although there are a few on here who appear to know.

I see he is the other manager mentioned in the TK update by the BBC!

I read somewhere that his agent is at the world cup because he represents Casemiro. Maybe that has something to do with it.

I think we are waiting on Roberto Martinez  ,he is leaving the Portuguese job after the world cup

Since Arbeloa was linked betting has closed completely, so i have no idea what the club are doing. Unless Arbeloa is holding it up himself wanting guarantees?

Anyone who has been on either side of the process of recruiting a senior manager will know that, to do it properly, it is a long and complex process, especially if a the manager comes with a team of his / her own people.

Quite clear that it's not Martinez calling the shots in that Portugal team. Homelando making it all about him once again.

Good article

Thank you! Selfishly, I am hoping it's not in vein at this stage with us still waiting on an appointment lol.

I really can't add much more than what was written in there, I do want to reiterate the final point - In a world where Claudio Ranieri was "risk free" for Fulham, I admire throwing a dart for glory.

I think we simplify these things, it's the Khan's calling people "do you want the job?" and then we're onto money. There's a fuller process where projects are presented, plans for the entire club, evaluation of the squad and how they'd like to go about the transfer windows; these plans are also likely extrapolated over 2,3,4,5 years and how they align with the clubs' actual goal (which I genuinely can't imagine is more than self sustainable Premier League football).

The Khan's appointed Claudio Ranieri which was an appointment that on paper, looked a reasonable success at the time not long from his time at Leicester, had a very solid year at Nantes had a desired experienced resume but the match was appalling between him and the club. Marco Silva had plenty of raised eyebrows at the time given his rough end at Everton, especially in the context of his exit from Watford. The match was perfect, absolutely perfect.

In reality, we don't really know until we know. I recall Southampton being slaughtered for replacing Nigel Adkins with relatively unknown Mauricio Pochettino; the same with Bournemouth moving from Gary O'Neil to Andoni Iraola.

Alvaro Arbeloa may be a great success, he may not. The decision lies with people who have hundreds of millions of pounds on the line, I'd like to think that would leave them in a position where the decision will be made that they genuinely believe is the best for the club, and we have to trust that. All we can do is assess and live by them!

I was won over by digging more into Arbeloa's ideas and past, he presents a style and philosophy which matches my own.

Maybe he is still contracted to Real and can't make any announcement until after June.

Arebolas ideas I like, high pressing game, younger players seems a step up to me.

Will be interesting to see what happens to Emile Smith-Rowe in a game plan like that, he can barely last an hour at the moment, will that be acceptable to a manager that maybe expects more ?

Who said ESR can Barely last an hour, it was a rotation plan by Silva with Josh. ESR was to press, press and press some more, then bring on Josh for a completely different game, that's what team rotation is all about.
