GURJ SS Report post Posted January 26, 2021 As always with any manager, welcome. Hope he goes well, I've been reading up about him and I think the club has gone for this because they've realised they made a mistake with Lamps; the board want Tuchel like managers who come and try to win something asap, more greedy and career driven. Lamps is the type of manager that builds things slower and for the long run, we're a club that wants results asap and won't take anything less. An 18 month contract sounds about right, the rest of the season to get everything ready for next season and then 6 months more to show he knows what he's doing in order to get an extension. The club is now back to what we've seen from them for the past 15 odd years, buy, win, move on. That's fine, just a shame it took a legend for the club to realise they can't really change or don't want to change the way they operate. From what I've seen and read up on Tuchel, he seems to be a bit Jose like in knowing what he wants from his players, and Klopp like in style of football with the ball and Pep like without the ball. Not to their levels, but style wise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DannyLB Report post Posted January 26, 2021 Excellent appointment. I could not be happier. I really don't care how long he lasts. I'm just looking forward for us to look like a proper, organized and disciplined team with some sort of identity. Top 4 is still within reach. We are only halfway through the season.
