Did you also nearly qualify for the second round of the Champions League with close to a pub team? If you think that's enough proof to suggest him as an actual candidate, then fair enough.

Did you also nearly qualify for the second round of the Champions League with close to a pub team? If you think that's enough proof to suggest him as an actual candidate, then fair enough. I totally disagree though. It's churlish to suggest he got that far on blind luck. It's clear he's a talented manager but just how talented we wont find out until he's managed elsewhere so why not take a chance? Give him five years, give him cash and allow him to do his thing. He can't be any friggin worse than the shower in charge now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know my Cypriot football, admittedly, but i daresay it's lower than Championship standard. He's had a decent season where he's surprised a few people getting his side into the Europe's elite. We've seen it before though; half the time it's the motivation of the players that have carried them through them games. It's not as if they've had owt to lose is it. He's not proved himself nearly enough to warrant an appointment, never mind a five-year contract. And again, it'd an appointment fuelled by sentiment to appease the fans.

Unbelievable Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 He'd walk to Newcastle to manage us. So would i. Did you also nearly qualify for the second round of the Champions League with close to a pub team? If you think that's enough proof to suggest him as an actual candidate, then fair enough. I totally disagree though. Well, you can only beat what's in front of you, can't you? Considering the (lack of) talent at his disposal what he (nearly) achieved is verging on the phenomenal. It's certainly better than what our current management team have mustered in the past decade. I wouldn't advocate giving him a five year deal, but a one year deal to see what he could do wouldn't hurt. What we know for certain is he will give us passion and some much needed positivity amongst the fans and the media. His continental roots and experience may give him an edge in this league, certainly compared to the usual suspects in Ashley´s book of attractive management material. Let´s face it, there will not be massive pressure on him; if he fails to secure our Premiership status it won't be seen as his fault, and we can start from the bottom up. If he does manage to keep us up (and I would think he would have more chance of doing that than the current muppets in charge), that should set us up for some positivity for next season. It certainly beats giving Kinnear a new two year deal if you ask me.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 He could be class for this club. Especially if we go down. The uncertainty factor is very big obviously but he could be an ideal manager to mount the comeback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest optimistic nit Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 why is he a worse suggestion than shearer, given that he has achieved a lot more as a manager than shearer? not saying he would do better than shearer mind, but from this viewpoint ketsbia would be the better option.

Yorkie Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Am i the only one who thinks this suggestion is totally pie in the sky? He seems to be high up on the preferences scale to a lot of people on here, but i mean, why? Cos he's funny, played for us once, and says he'd like to be a manager? At the end of the day he's done well in the Cypriot league. He got them into the CL proper but there's been plenty of absolute dogmeat clubs in that competition before. Would you advocate (off the top of my head) Partizan's, Cluj's, Genk's, Rosenborg's, Haifa's managers as potential candidates aswell? Nah... Another appointment shrouded almost entirely in sentiment is another massive accident waiting to happen imo. Btw, the only English side he's played against (our mates down at WHL), absolutely bumraped his team 6-0. Kinnear Out, btw. Shut up, Yorkie. You dick.
