The Managerial Merry Go Round™ - Ivan Juric to Southampton


Recommended Posts

I like Rafa but he's not in that upper echelons of elite coaches/managers like

 

Dunno about that. He's won the CL, EL (2), La Liga (2), and a handful of domestic cups. And for City's sake, he's proven he can do the job in the PL.

Top Top level: >Mourinho, Guardiola, Ancelloti > Next level: Rafa, Wenger, Hiddink to name but a few, there is very few Elite coaches/Managers with Ferguson, Lippi being 2 others i'd have placed up there in the past

 

Don't get me wrong, i think he's a great coach but if Man City really are trying to be in that upper echelons of football then they should be looking at the ultra elite of coaches, of which i'm not sure Rafa is one of them.

Wenger's in the top bracket IMO.

 

absolutely love wenger but he's just let his stubborness of not changing his approach to anything get in the way of winning things. he'd actually be a wet dream for Ashley

:lol:

 

Come on! He transformed the club top to bottom and gave them their best teams ever. Ashley's wet dream FFS.

City's team itself isn't very good.

 

I've had this thought before as well. Sounds stupid to say when they have the individual's they have, but I'm just not that convinced.

 

Saying that, they can just drop another £100m in the summer.

:lol: come on.

 

Hart isn't a top GK.

One of Mangala/Demichelis has to start, neither is a top quality CB.

Kompany is over-rated

Fernando/Fernandinho is uninspiring

I don't know for sure but can Aguero play up top by himself?

 

On paper are they much better than Arsenal?

 

 

They could improve the manager certainly. But the team needs a refresh imo. Down that spine. They need players at least on the level of their star men as partners. Nasri, Dzeko etc. are very good players but they need lads in that bracket above.

 

By the way - i'm just talking about being as good as the first Mourinho Chelsea team, the dominant Man Utd teams, Real, Bayern, Barca. that top level where you can sleep walk into a CL semi-final most years. Any team that wins the league 2 out of 3 years is a very good team but to get to the next level. They aren't good enough. Next level being back-to-back league titles, consistently running deep into the CL.
