With every speculative managerial post going....
Speculations about Brendan Rodgers and a possible chance to take over at Old Trafford would of course start a new speculation about the new man coming in to take over. One name that surely would be far from likely is Blackpool head coach Neil Critchley. His work at Bloomfield Road is fascinating reading as the Tangerines are just one point from a play-off position in League Championship.
You have of course the obvious possibilities and the names mentioned as Leicester are out looking for a manager, but they will probably look at people in charge of teams that has shown great progress and the former Liverpool coach must be said to have lifted life at Blackpool.
Blackpool had their best years in football back in the 50’s, winning the FA Cup and with a certain Stanley Matthews in their team. Later they have sniffed at the top tier and as we all remember being in the top flight in 2010/2011. With Ian Holloway in charge they were surprisingly promoted but had to see relegation as it was obviously very difficult to compete with a lower budget and little or no routine of such life.
Brendan Rodgers have a clause in his contract, being able to leave Leicester if an offer from one of the big guns comes calling. With that in mind you are always on the look for a job above the shelf of foxes life.
Since the Thai owners came in at Leicester several managers has been taken in to bring glory and fortunes, but going forward you might need another approach and with Neil Critchley you will get a mix of what is needed to bring the club to a status you probably would like. Critchley has a combination of skills that would be good and he is similar to Brendan Rodgers in every way.
Critchley like Rodgers did not have a very impressive playing career with only one league appearance for Crewe Alexandria to count. You might remember Liverpool not being able to play with their first team in the EFL Cup and the club fielding a youth side for the game v. Aston Villa, the man in charge at that game was Neil Critchley. He also had the same job in the FA Cup when the first team went on leave. Critchley took charge against Shrewsbury and won the game. TCF believe he should be on a short list if the manager job at Leicester becomes vacant.
There are of course a number of candidates, with people like Daniel Farke and Nuno Espirito Santo most certainly qualified. Both are with great experience from clubs similar to Leicester and must be said to have done well in their former positions at Norwich and Wolves, but if they are candidates, who knows.
Leicester do need a capacity of dimentions to be able to keep the club flying at the level they are at the moment and with Steven Gerrard joining Aston Villa he is ruled out, in the picture together with Neil Critchley at Liverpool. Scott Parker and Frank Lampard are names certainly to be in the hat when and if Brendan Rodgers makes his move to Old Trafford.
