The Managerial Merry Go Round™ - Ivan Juric to Southampton


Recommended Posts

There's two sides to it. He would without doubt create an immense siege mentality here and make us into the biggest shithouses in the league, something which we seem to lack despite last season. He would whip the support into such a frenzy that it would be box office viewing. 

 

Ultimately though he is universes past his best, beyond toxic, and his football is excruciatingly poor. Most clubs probably think he's just not worth the hassle, and him coming here would rip up everything we've set in place upto now. I don't think for one second it will happen mind.

Can only assume you mean the crowd would turn toxic pretty fast and be excruciatingly bad

3/1 on Sky Bet to take over at Newcastle. 
 

Eddie down to 4/1 to get the chop.

Should hopefully go without saying but this isn't because Sky Bet think this is going to happen. They just think people are stupid enough to bet on it.

Already a lad at work talking about him coming in to follow on from Mr Robson.

It’s not just that. It’s idiot

supporters too. The George Carlin quote about “average” intelligence. Every team has them.

What would be gained by signing Mourinho? We have a united dressing room, players are showing astonishing development, just look at Gordon- different player to last season. Yes results haven't gone our way but we've had some dodgy decisions go against us and several individual errors. And a horrendous injury record. All things Eddie has no control over.  Am not sure what people think Mourinho would bring? Maybe he's a bit more tactically astute than Eddie but he's past his peak whereas Eddie hasn't reached his yet. Not going to happen.

No way we're signing Mourinho like. He's absolutely done at club level. 

 

6th last season, 9th this. Conference League where they beat Vitesse, Bodo Glimt, Leicester and Feyenoord - no big hitters masks another poor spell.

Need the club to come out ASAP or ideally provide daily reassurance that there's nothing to this

 

Can group the press conferences with Bruno and Ashworth to save on time and cost with FFP in mind.

I'd bet he'll give international management a crack now.

 

Having said that, he's not as bad as some on here make out to be; won Roma's first trophy in almost 20 years and was a penalty kick away from a 2nd. To say he is shit or totally finished is a bit short sighted.

I agree - but some of this fanbase are asking for Hayden to go back in the team, you can't underestimate the effect Mourinho would have with his mouth alone. If he was getting results a good portion of fans would overlook the shite football - at least for a limited period.  

 

I'm in no way advocating for it - it would likely be a disaster. But if we didn't have Eddie a small part of me would probably be up for it.

I assumed that was just two idiots on here suggesting Hayden should come back? :kasper:

His last season at Watford he sulked like a toddler.

He's always been a complete bellend. Because he  has been to prison  and likes the sound of his own voice people seem to give him credit when he hasn't earned any. The opposite in fact.

It will also be an illiquid market with hardly any money down. So a few people putting 2 and 2 together and chucking a few quid down. Will make the price shorten straight away.
