The Managerial Merry Go Round™

Don't think he's done anything to suggest he's a better manager than Nuno. Not in the PL at least.

 

Palace have one generational talent (Eze), one possible (Wharton) and some decent players in Guehi, Sarr and Mateta. Finished 10th last year and in around there this year. I like Nuno, but he's not getting that Palace squad near mid-table, Forest are a much deeper team than Palace.

Don't seem thrilled about it like. The Pozzos do seem clueless mind.

The Pozzo family are clueless. No clear plan, no investment. Personally I'd want Ryan Mason, but would he want Watford with their track record

 

  Yikes.

In what world is Eze a generational talent

In the England setup? He is. On a global stage, he's obviously not. Guy is a baller in a purposely average team.

[Optimistic Nut]

Guehi is more "generational" than Eze given he's a regular in the England team. He is a very good player, though.

Sorry, you think Eze is one of the finest England players of his generation? On what basis? He's not even close to be a guaranteed starter let alone Kane/Rooney levels. 

[Kid Icarus]

That phrase has become the new GOAT, overused into meaninglessness.

Does Glasner have Forest battling for top 4?

 

nuno has multiple top 7 finishes in the PL and La Liga. 
 

I like Glasner and he did well with Eintracht. Palace have finished 11, 12 in the seasons prior to Glasner. 
 

He’s not done anything in the PL that Nuno hasn’t done better.  Glasner also seems wedded to a back 5 which people used to accuse Nuno of doing. Palace seem to be better on the back foot which doesn’t suit Spurs.  
 

I don’t see a big difference between Glasner and Nuno and they hounded Nuno out early.

It's the Marco Silva lifecycle. Do well at a smaller club -> build a good reputation -> Do something stupid to damage that reputation -> Start again.

[Alan Pardew]

A lot of job opportunities are presenting themselves to me. The King needs to be back on the pitch… managing a team. Settings the tactics. One last dance so to say. Heh… Decent Championship side would be good for me I think.

Yamal is a generational talent. Eze is not.

Eze is a decent PL player, no more, no less. Olise was better than him and was the one who got the bigger move.

Are you aware Eze is 27 in a month? It's not like he's some up and coming youngster. He's at his peak right now.

Eze’s class. He’s not a generational talent and he’s not a decent player. He’s a great player whose technique on the ball is in the top five in the league

He’s exceptionally talented but he has a tendency to drift through games for me.
 

Playing in the position he does I’d want him to get involved more if it were my team. When he does get involved good things tend to happen, but it’s not enough if he wants to establish himself as an elite player.

 

And his penalty technique is 🤮

Interestingly Forest were linked with Glasner before they got Nuno

So similar profiles perhaps

I reckon Iraola would be more suited to Spurs but again he's not proven long term. HOWEVER Spurs have tried everything and nothing seems to work so fuck knows.

They should just merge with Arsenal.

 

Arsenal's tendency to underperform and Spurs being Spurs in one delightful team would be some fun

Had enough of Fulham in the league tbh, get them gone.

Eze is class but we've all seen players of his quality not quite live up to the billing. IMO he's completely wasting his career at Palace.

 

Put him in a side which is already doing well, with other decent players and he'd flourish.

Was ridiculously early for Spurs to get rid. However, that did give us this moment:



 

Anyways, I'm of the belief Glasner is much better than Ange and would have Spurs easily in the top 10. Spurs need to be better defensively and not play the stupid high line Ange has persisted with all season.

I wasn't, thought he was younger, but I still believe he's one of England's top players in this generation.

They weren't going to get rid of both of them in the same window. Olise is a better player, but Eze is an excellent one as well.

Anything that threatens goal for Palace goes through Eze. He's just as good as most of England peers.
