What separates Poyet from every other decent Championship manager? Serious question.

 

Just seems like being an ex fairly high profile footballer who is still young gives them a bump up the ladder. Poyet beat us twice in the cup but Graham Westley managed it once at a club two divisions below.

 

When we played Brighton I was impressed they could string more than 2 passes together but that was more to do with the fact we couldn't than them playing any real quality football.

 

Is he any better than the likes of Mick McCarthy, Nigel Pearson, Paul Ince, Brian McDermott etc.. or is he just more fashionable?

 

You can only go on the football you've seen, and his team did the right things from what I saw. Closed us down well as a team, kept their shape well, showed plenty of movement when they had the ball and passed it around well. Those are all qualities we are short of. You are right though, we don't need a foreign manager to do that or a fashionable one, an English coach who can do the same things would do nicely.

Aye. Foreign, though. Exotic.

Their chairman hasn't got a clue, Gus will be no match for our homegrown think tank of Pardew and Kinnear.

Really, though? Absolutely everything has to come back to this?

'Until Victory, Always'. Seems apt at the moment.

Not sure if he can keep them up. Think he'd get them straight back up playing stuff a few levels above what we are used to under Pardew. But that could be two years away.

 

Right now it's a gamble, there were better suited candidates for survive at all costs, they haven't gone down this route and its a good sensible decision as long as they stick by him if he doesn't keep them up or has a big shit on the floor.

What else would it come down to when we are discussing managers? At least when I give a rationale about a manager's qualities or drawbacks it's not based on his being foreign or exotic.

Look at the team we had out.

 

What was more telling was that they looked far slicker and better organised, and we looked like a bunch of individuals thrown together to work things out themselves. Sound familiar?
