LucaAltieri Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Dragan Stoikovic from Nagoya Grampus Eight. Used to be a great player. Has now done wonders in Japan as a manager. Highly recommended by Wenger who has pointed him out as a possible Arsenal manager when they need a new one. Would be an extremely interesting move to bring him here. Played under Wenger in Japan, too. Generally considered to be his protege. Good coach but has been gash in director of football type roles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 We all know he'll be recommended by Kinnear. It'll be a British or Irish manager who has a long list of failures or a vacuum of 15 years on his CV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Di Matteo's Chelsea didn't play good football like. Yeap, also their league form was pretty average. Both bollocks.....they were 4 points from top when hewas sacked. Hazard also played his best football by a million miles under Di Matteo and they played us and quite a few other teams off the park.

Deuce Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Worrying about us playing "good football," come on. RDM was 40W-19D-24L with West Brom and 24W-9D-9L with Chelsea, including 2 pieces of silverware. The guy clearly knows how to win football games.

TRon Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I can't say that I've ever been a massive Di Matteo fan, but compared to Pardew he's like Pep Guardiola. His teams had shape and passed it about quite well for a start. Similar to Poyet, really, nothing mind-blowingly exciting, but I think there's merit in not being completely clueless about these things. With our budget these are the type of managers we could get that might well be able to work with the type of players we are recruiting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about when he got the job permanently I made that pretty clear in my original post on the subject. No one would deny they were dire during his caretaker period.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Di Matteo has a very good record, I don't understand how people can say otherwise. He did a commendable job at West Brom. he brought them out of the Championship playing very good football, significantly better than we played with superior players in fact. He did good business in the market bringing in the likes of Tchoyi and Osaze and had West Brom well out of the relegation zone when he was sacked for a bad run. It wasn't very dissimilar to Hughton. At Chelsea he arrived at a team that was in disarray and open mutiny against its manager, had won one of six matches in the league and was 3-1 down in it's Champions League knockout tie. He completely changed the team's style of play to suit the personnel they had, and built an extremely organised and athletic side on the fly. From this point, he achieved six consecutive spectacular results in the Champions League, won the FA Cup and acceptable results in the Premiership until they beat Barcelona and essentially gave up on the CL through a top four place. The next year he won 7 of the first 8 league matches with a very different side before all hell broke loose in Manchester, they lost, Ramires "heard racial abuse" and John Obi Mikel tried to actually kill Mark Clattenburg. He was sacked within a month having lost two league matches out of twelve. Clearly, he was never wanted. The guy has been very unfortunate in his last two posts. I would definitely have him here and he would be a certain improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
