The College Dropout Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Think Ancelotti is better suited to clubs with big name stats and egos. A good manager for Man Utd. Dunno what it’s like going from Sarri to Carlo. Bayern players didn’t think raining was intense enough or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno what it’s like going from Sarri to Carlo. Bayern players didn’t think raining was intense enough or something. Doesn't Bayern players complaining about his methods mean that he might not be a manager for the big egos anymore? He might be better suited for a Napoli type job now.

Altamullan Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Really weak appointment IMO. Don't rate him at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 He could be Arsenal wha Mancini was to City. They probably need a bit of a disciplinarian, someone tactical and someone a bit less expansive or open with a soft Bellew than they were under Wenger towards the last few years if his tenure. He's always been very good at combining steel with talent. An attractive manager he isn't, but he knows how to be effective. PSG job was a hiding to nothing, it's obvious that he was a figurehead in there. I just wonder how he will fit at Arsenal after Wenger. He sports a very different brand of football and I can see things going south if he doesn't come racing out of the blocks and fans/media get impatient.

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 So Sarri to Chelsea seems nailed on then? they love a bad season followed by a great one City might be too good for them to win the league but i wouldn't be surprised if they are good again from nowhere.

Kaizero Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I still don't get the Swansea hate from Kaiz tbh. They’re a Welsh team in the English league. It’s a horrific anomaly. Either go full UK or stick to your own national leagues. If you have seperate FAs and national teams, you shouldn’t interbreed in your leagues. If Swansea qualified for Europe they’d not take one if the Welsh spots. It’s all anarchy. ANARCHY! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Graham Potter to Swansea according to Sky. Who's that? Östersund's manager. Worked absolute miracles there, taking them from the Swedish third division to knock out stages of the EL, playing mostly really good football and on a shoestring budget, even by Swedish standards. Highly debatable. Not really. Their most recent season had their annual budget at £5 million (compared to £350,000 when Potter took over). AIK, Hammarby, Elfsborg, Göteborg, Helsingborg, Djurgården, Kalmar, Hacken, Norrkoping all have from £7.5 million to £22 million a year. Their £5 mill were the budget during their surprise EL season. Before that it was even lower. It’s a crazy achievement by Potter and his team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Welsh teams entered the English league after being invited by the FA to join almost 100 years ago. We cannot take a Welsh place in any European competition, we did many years ago but that was stopped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's going to be a disaster personally - it's Scolari all over again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurizio_Sarri His wikipedia/career history makes for interesting reading, especially the 4 straight jobs where he was gone in 18 games or less. Hiddink will be waiting by the phone for another working holiday in London by November. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 All this upheaval. We’re primed for a tilt at the top four. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 All this upheaval. We’re primed for a tilt at the top four. Even if that’s all they do for the next 3 years it has been clear for much longer that they needed a new way of playing, new ideas and something different and this new guy will represent that. Whether he succeeds or not, however, is anyone’s guess. It’s an interesting appointment, although personally I would have been looking at Carlo or Pellegrini even, someone with some Premier League experience if only just to get over the transition of Wenger leaving. I’ll find out from my brother-in-law no doubt very soon what he feels about the appointment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I like him me and I enjoyed his Man City team more than Pep’s team. I can’t stand West Ham though so hope it goes tits up. And if it doesn’t, another nail in the coffin of the same old same old British managers who stink up the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 So so far. Arsenal > Emery West Ham > Pellegrini Stoke > Rowett Potenially: Chelsea > Sarri Everton > They don't seem to have been linked with anyone as yet. Swansea > Östersund's manager. Spurs > Potentially losing Poch. Leicester > Likely to bin Puel. Watford > Its the time of the month when they sack there manager. Merry-Go-Round is in full tilt.

The College Dropout Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Seems like Leicester will stick with Puel. I think he’s a good manager to take them to Leicester 2.0. They should be targeting regular European football and getting great young players in. Kinda like Spurs 10–12 years ago. Use their latest success to sustain a club that regularly challenges for Europe and Cups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before that it was even lower. It’s a crazy achievement by Potter and his team. I'm not questioning Potter at all, he's done a great job. The #1 explanation for their success is money though. Large sums have been injected into the club by the city and local real estate company Östersundshem. The ÖFK chairman used to be it's CEO, not anymore though as he's arrested for fraud/financial crime. There are several indications of them paying high wages. Again, I'm not questioning their achievements, just saying "shoestring budget" is incorrect. Might post more when I'm not at work, if I can be arsed. But as I said, it's debatable.
