Kanj Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I'm just fucking saying if Ashley had any desire to spend the cash he's got, and it's a fucking boat load - he could easilly tempt top managers here and run us the right way b/c our club still has that draw. I know we won't ever get Klopp or Rafa whilst Ashley is here, man, I'll just never admit this small time stuff is more than just Ashley dragging us down and Pardew spouting off this we can't complete with oil money shit.

oldtype Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I will consider anyone with any sort of managerial experience within the past three years to be a coup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Please no more dumb British managers. Get someone who at least sounds smart enough to have thought deeply about tactics and man management. No more Pardews, Allardyces, Curbishleys who say what comes into their head. Is there a British manager who fits that criteria? I don't know. But I'd rather go foreign that go for another one of those. In 12 months, everyone on this forum will be tired of them. Plus all of them want control of transfers to buy shit British players for 3 times their market price. Get a foreigner who will be familiar with the players that we have, familiar with their job description and constraints, and also someone who sounds somewhat intelligent. Getting a British manager who says he's cool with the transfer policy only to end up realising that he's not and wants to buy his best mate's son will be immensely frustrating.

Ikon Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I'd be happy with Galtier tbh. Rather him than the english ones available. Not sure how offensive minded he is though. Saint-Etienne have scored 22 goals in 19 games, only conceeded 12 though. Dunno if they've scored more in earlier seasons though. Average Possession this season is 52% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Said it a million times but I would be stunned if Carr hasn't got someone up his sleeve. Foreign coaches would be more comfortable with the structure so there'll be no drama. They'd be on low wages and we'd probably tell them they'd get the Arsenal job in 2 years if we do well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 They're 4th in Ligue 1 but their latest results are a Pardew wet dream. Tons of 1 goal victories and draws. Anyway, I don't completely mind it because there weren't any 3 goal defeats thrown in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I really don't think Ashley can afford to wait until the end of the season tbh. Stone and Carver will see us scrapping with relegation fodder. Whoever it is has to be someone with fresh ideas. They need to clear out the clowns that have been 'coaching' the squad and overhaul training methods. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Given our set-up I think we'd be better off going foreign. There's more chance of playing a style of football that we want to see given the standard of British managers available in our price bracket. My preference would have been Tuchel after watching a lot of the Bundesliga last season but it seems odd that he's been out of work for so long given how highly rated he was, it seems odd. I still have a soft spot for McClaren though, I've got a feeling he'd be ideal for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we really want Galtier/de boer and vice versa but they can't come until the end of the season then I am almost 100% sure we will appoint someone else that isn't Carver til seasons end. Downside is that could well be JFK back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooneyToonArmy Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 haven't trawled through the whole thread yet but Frank Rijkaard been mentioned? No job right now but I suppose he'd want a half decent salary and some transfer say which probably rules us out. Jorge Jesus too of Benfica....ok i'll get my coat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 IF this club had any ambition, they would go to Southampton at the end of the season and offer them the necessary comp to get Koeman - this is about as likely to happen as I am to win the lottery(I don't usually buy a ticket) so the next best thing which the club can even think about is his fellow Dutchman de Boer. However, Ashley is likely to see how the side performs under Carver and if they get moderate results, to give him the job on a permanent basis because 2016 is probably when Ashley will bail out..he may even be tempted to go before that and Carver is a cheap option for him. Don't expect a permanent appointment until the end of the season in any case....if we start to struggle, Ashley is likely to fall back on Hoddle or someone similar temporarily in the same way he gave Shearer the poisoned chalice for the last 8 games of 2008-9.

Cronky Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Odds on McClaren coming in,was 16/1 a few hours ago. Now 9/1. Sherwood at 4/1 I'm inclined to think that McClaren has earned another chance. Derby play good football, and he wouldn't be the worst choice. PS - It does look like no-one in the media has a clue who's going to be appointed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Also, Gus Poyet on the Newcastle job: "Not now!” said Poyet. “I think I had a bit of a love-hate relationship with them and the love's now gone. That's over. Will I take the job? No chance!” I'm fairly sure if Gus was offered the job he'd be straight over here. I'm sure most Mackems would vehemently deny it but I reckon he'd jump at the chance. I'd probably be pleased with it as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 What do we know about Philip Cocu? Unbelievable? (the user FFS). I can imagine that he doesn't want to leave in the middle of the season when they are challenging for the title. PSV have a very young team if i'm correct.

themanupstairs Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I would go for Patrick Kluivert. Former player, played under some of the best managers out there, young, and if he was good enough for Van Gaal, he;s good enough for me. Ok maybe not Kluivert himself, but someone of that ilk. It's got to be a young manager. Not this merry-go-round shit for fucks sake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
