With quite a few managerial vacancies to be filled, and the added local interest of 3 Lancs teams still looking, I think it could do with a thread of its own instead of being squeezed into other topics.

I hope Mantra doesn't mind me pinching his link to get the ball rolling with Charlton

Don't know who's worse, Gerrard or Rodgers. Close call

The answer every time is Klippity Klopp

I'd say Gerrard

Rodgers has a decent enough track record, plays decent stuff, and had Leicester top half (four times) and top 5 (twice), just looks like this reign has come to an end

Gerrard isn't looking like someone who can manage a top half team

JFH gone for a Burton 

No  surprise there  

Thought Ipswich did a good bit of business on transfer deadline day signing their striker Ahadme ( scored 5 already this season )  

Hell of a job for his successor keeping them in League One

Finally.  I found myself getting annoyed on Burton fans behalf when he was on Super Sunday, less than a day after another defeat.  It wouldn't sit right with me if that was our manager while we were bottom of the league.  Also he seems to be an advocate of anti-football if our games against them are anything to go by, so although he seems like a decent bloke, good riddance.

Tommy Tootle gone.

Blimey, a big one to go.

I can't say I took to him and he looks like someone you'd not let babysit your kids and he's signed some shite. So "bye".

Well, at least Pep chucked him a Champions League by being a clever cunt 

Looks like its Potter, and moaybe they had been quietly arranging that for a while, couple of player "swaps".

Be a massive step for Potter, he has not even managed 1 game in Europe.

Really dont want him to take it. He'd have to win the league or champions league to at least get 2 years out of it unless they have a massivr culture change.

Stick it out at Brighton and wait for the England Job..

Its a shame, but these massive clubs jobs are bigger than the England job these days, and any average manager can get that job later on in career, like Southgate and many of the last few England jobs.

Just cant see it working for him at Chelsea though, like you say. Massive culture diff.

He'd be nuts not to take it. 

He could turn the job down, have a bad start to next season with Brighton and then be sacked ... and then never get the opportunity to manage an elite club again.

Dropped Cooper like a stone. Ruthless @gonzo

Their new owner is a bad'un.

I can feel it in my bones.

I'm just amazed Rodgers has outlasted him.

Rumours are that Rodgers is due to get over £10m compo if he gets sacked.

Might explain the delay. Chelsea wouldn’t blink at that amount but it’s a big chunk for Leicester.

5 points off the top...  Season only just underway. 

Beyond me.

Football has gone mad.

Stupid decision that, Tuchel is a great manager.

Ah well, a couple of close mates aside, couldn't care less if they sunk like a stone.

Potter talking to Chelsea with Brighton's permission. Decision to ditch TT taken some time ago.

Source Sky.

I like Potter, goes about his business without courting controversy, potential future England manager, I hope Chelsea don't fuck him up (if he goes there)

I always thought that despite looking like a ww11 kommandant, TT always spoke very well and wasn't dogged with some of the evasive nature often exhibited by others. 

Shame really.

Too right.  He was under pressure 5 months ago.  From Feb to early April, they couldn't score, lost 2-0 at Utd, 2-1 at Newcastle and 5 consecutive homes were 0-3 v Burnley, 0-2 v Villa, 0-2 v Liverpool, 0-2 v Spurs, 0-0 v Norwich.  Brighton fans were booing and Potter had a go at them, reminding them where they'd come from.  Good manager, deserves a crack at a top club.

Liverpool more likely to give a new manager time than Chelsea I reckon.

He should wait until just before the new year when that job will be available. 💣

England more likely to appoint an unemployed manager after Southgate. More chance of him getting sacked at Chelsea 😅

Didn't realise Gary O'Neil was caretaker boss at Bournemouth. Good luck to him

Stevie G either nailed on to succeed Klopp eventually, or to never manage at a decent level again.  3 wins on the trot or 3 defeats on the trot just before Klopp leaves will probably decide which one it is.
