Ameritoon Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 One of my favorite players as a kid who didn't know anything about football. Kind of nice to see him back in England Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 Glad he's got a job, he seems like a decent sort. Don't think a former Man U legend is necessarily the right fit for a low profile PL club though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelphish Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 His record at PSV was good. Rather a left field like that then whatever the PFM circuit looks like at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 It’s just a gamble, it might pay off but probably won’t. I’m assuming Moyes didn’t fancy it, he seemed the obvious choice to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 Really interesting appointment, that. No research at all here but when I think of that PL era that he was a part of, its wrought next to fuck all in terms of decent managers, so I wonder if he can buck the trend. Henry, Solskjaer, Shearer, Hasselbaink, Gerrard, Lampard, Rooney, Zola, Vieira... not completely bereft of honours but Christ it's slim pickings.

No more good than coaches before and after him at PSV. Wasn’t like the season was a stand out metric rise. Looking at all the managers that have come from Eredvise to England in recent seasons, way it’s going, Slot may be the only good one De Boer / Cocu / Ten Haag all had major limitations and failings despite winning titles.

Troll Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 I don't think it's really that bad of an appointment. Did well at Derby, then ended up out of his depth at two of the most dysfunctional clubs in the Premier League. I think he's a much better manager than the likes of Gerrard and Rooney.

I actually tend to agree, he did well at Derby like you say, even if they had a really good squad, got Chelsea Champions League football and to an FA Cup final, despite having a transfer embargo, and kept Everton up when coming in mid-season. Its not amazing by any stretch but its not horrendous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 I have no reason to do so, but I believe Ruud will do alright at Leicester. He just gives me the vibe of someone that'll give most clubs a few solid years before he gets stale and moves on to the next task. Lampard will be as mediocre as usual.
