Deuce Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 We would only get a current unemployed manager IMO Obviously a lot of these are unrealistic or we really wouldn't want (last 6) Rafa Benitez Co Adriaanese Luis Enrique Felix Magath Huub Stevens Lothur Matthaus Laurent Blanc Gerard Houlier Avram Grant Roberto Di Matteo Bernd Schuster Christophe Daum Javier Irureta Mark Hughes Owen Coyle Alan Curbishley Martin O'Neill Alex McLeish Owen Coyle Owen Coyle. So good you listed him twice. Not a good manager, but I've got a soft spot for Coyle. Probably the sweatpants and pullover combo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I refuse to believe that there isn't a manager out there who could do better than Pardew and be willing to work for Ashley. Whether or not Llambias has got the nous to sniff him out and appoint him is another matter entirely though. Buying out the contract of a good manager would be the best money we could spend this summer, better than signing any player and it would have a much bigger, positive impact on the team, squad and club as a whole. Pardew's a dead duck imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 We should get Luis Enrique just to confuse the pundits who are wondering why we have employed our old left back as our manager. Or Steve Kean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I'd honestly think about giving an ex-player a chance. Someone like Ketsbaia with Solano as assistant or something like that. We might need to get back to the roots of this club. We might need someone who knows what this club means like Keegan or SBR knew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 This "nobody would take this job" crack is entirely tedious. Look of many of the world's biggest name managers have been willing to drink from the poisoned chalice at Chelsea. We're not Chelsea, but then we're not likely to be after the same managers as them. The idea that decent managers wouldn't want to work with our players is genuinely laughable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that decent managers wouldn't want to work with our players is genuinely laughable. Problem is I have trouble believing that we'd pay them the going rate. Moyes for example is on £3m per year. Also there's the fact that good managers tend to already be in a job; that's more money I don't think we'd pay. We'd need to find someone on a free that's willing to take on our setup and wage offer and basically arselick them constantly. Pardew has always fitted this mould.

Ketsbaia Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Exactly. Managers are aware of Newcastle's poisoned chalice, but their ego will drive them to the job because they want to be 'the one' that finally succeeds. Imagine how great that'd look.

Most managers get paid the same as your average squad player don't they? Can't imagine Michael Laudrup's raking it in at Swansea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managers are aware of Newcastle's poisoned chalice, but their ego will drive them to the job because they want to be 'the one' that finally succeeds. Imagine how great that'd look. Managers with their head screwed on know that it's not a poisoned chalice though. Look at the way the likes of Wenger, Ferguson and Mourinho have went on about us in the past. The potential here is massive and as we have shown with Keegan, SBR and even how much we took to Hughton. If managers are getting us going into the right direction then they will get our support. Look at the support Pardew received last season and I find it incredulous that he doesn't seem to be under any pressure whatsoever from the media.

Managers are aware of Newcastle's poisoned chalice, but their ego will drive them to the job because they want to be 'the one' that finally succeeds. Imagine how great that'd look. True. Which is why the character of the person who will take us forward is extremely important. Benitez imo has a reasonable combination of character to go along with his vast footballing knowledge and experience. Not ideal, but certainly a step in the right direction. Still, I'd much rather someone slightly younger, with a distinct philosophy on how the game is best played. I don't want a manager who is too rigid in his ideals though (a la Rodgers). Just someone passionate who is forever willing to learn and improve, and who transmits that to his players. I don;t know why, but Poyet just might fit the above description?

themanupstairs Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Benitez? Sure he's better than Pardew but he's not exactly known for playing entertaining football is he? We will not get entertainment immediately. Our entertainment will be getting the results against teams we "should" be beating, and possibly a couple of surprise results here and there. We need to set a good foundation up and down the club. When Hughton was in charge, I was under the impression that we'd taken care of our infrastructure/medical/youth tiers, and were well run again. This season and to an extent last season has made me doubt that. Benitez would sort it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
