The Managerial Merry Go Round™ - Will Still Southampton manager


Recommended Posts

The funny thing about Ole is that you only hear the excuses for why he's not a terrible manager. You don't hear many reasons for why he is a good manager.

 

Would any other club in the premier league take Ole after he leaves Man U?

Makes me more comfortable about our manager search.

 

Villa are a way more attractive prospect than us, their squad is miles ahead of ours and don't forget they aren't afraid of spending money either.

 

But, their shortlist is about on par with our shortlist.

If they take Lampard they'd take OGS.

Lack of suitable candidates willing to take over mid-season.

 

This is Solskjaer's last season unless there's a miracle. 

Aye I suppose. It may be a long wait for Man U fans then. Yeah be interesting to see if any prem clubs go after him in the future, can't see it like!

This role is becoming more poisonous than ours. Anything less than a title is considered a failure, and there's probably only 2 or 3 in the world that could do that currently and at least 2 are at Man Us biggest rivals.

 

Time for Man U to get creative and look outside the box in the same way Arsenal did when they found Wenger messing around in the J-League

 

Or they could put their money where their mouth is, and follow all the pundits suggestions of how good a manager Bruce is and go with him. He did such a good job with us, imagine how well he could do with Man U, freedom to spend and fans that only have good memories of him....after all he knows and loves the club.

I’d wait until the summer if I was them and go all out for Simeone or if not, try and get Zidane in now.

Think Simeone's set for his career now...all Man U can offer him is grief and even more cash than he's already on. 

 

Seriously doubt Zidane would go anywhere but French national team, or Juventus now. Might end up at Bordeaux in about 10 years if he ends up not being as good as everyone thinks/

Allegeri was available for most the time Ole has been in the job, Conte too, really feel they missed the boat on that one. 

 

Zizou seems to waiting for the French job where he has a similar God like status as he had at Madrid. He's one of those one where you take him out of Madrid it's an open question how he will do elsewhere. 

 

Not really an available name now so they are stuck with Ole until further notice.

I mean you could have employed Conte 2 weeks ago

Would be interesting to see Hjulmand in the Premier League. There's no doubt he's done a great job with Denmark but he falls into the same bracket as Southgate for me.

He hasn't really done anything of note in club football has he outside of a league title in Denmark 9 years ago? Could be somewhat of a risky hire for Villa at the moment?

Do you think Conte is suitable? 18 month contract with Spurs speaks volumes. It always ends in disaster; falling out with players, the board, the fans etc. We want stability, which Conte doesn't provide. Conte is probably a better coach than Rodgers, but I'd much rather Rodgers. Conte wanted us, but we didn't want Conte.

 

If Poch was available at the same time Conte was, I have no doubt Ole would be gone.

I don't buy this at all. We know we're miles off Liverpool and City. Ole is there 3 years and we weren't expecting the title even this season, just a title challenge. A bit of fight at least.

While I do agree Solskjaer hasn't done that bad a job since he took over I think you just need to look at Chelsea to see why he probably needs binned. Chelsea were miles behind Man Utd when Tuchel took over. In less than a year he has turned Chelsea into a real title contender.

That's the thing...you are still in a fight. A little bit of form and some dodgy results for City/Liverpool/Cheslea and you're still right up there.

Apart from money, why isn't Ole quitting? Does he feel he is doing a good job?

 

Your legendary captain Steve Bruce, held out for money. Is Ole cut from the same cloth too?

Looks like Norwich are going for the Bodo/Glimt manager

 

If they get him, I hope he is able to bring a few of the Glimt players with him so the team can more easily adapt to his philosophy. I love watching their left back Fredrik André Bjørkan play, and think he has the pace, strength and stamina combined with decent technique to really excel in this league. Just pray he doesn't do a Solskjær. Would be so fun to see a team in the PL play like Glimt.

Bodo/Glimt is my go to team for Win and BTTS every weekend.
