KaKa Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I like Mel a lot, hope he can make the jump to a different league Betis were one of the most pleasing teams in La Liga to watch. Very daring too. Seems an interesting appointment. If West Brom are able to get this kind of manager, then there is no reason why we can't. That's why it's a bit frustrating when people say "No one would want to come here" or "Who would we get" when folks want Pardew replaced. Obviously, there's no certainty he will be good, but still the guy appears to have some pedigree, and a far more positive approach. You look at the likes of Pochettino at Southampton, and the difference he made straight away, and you can't help but wonder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Well, he's only managed in Segunda División and Betis so far, hardly a pedigree appointment. Mel is very positive indeed, bordering on the "too much for his own good". No matter if it was Osasuna at home or away at the Camp Nou; high defence line, high pressure on the ball, his players always went for it. This resulted in the occasional bumming, but Betis fans were very proud. They were fuming when he was sacked (his replacement has performed worse). He coached a club in administration, promoted it, and took it to the Europa League playing very nice football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not NUFC that's the issue, we have had plenty of big name managers in the past. It's Mike Ashley's approach. This year we've seen foreign managers take the FA and League cup more seriously than British ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpet Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Always thought WBA are one of the shrewdest clubs in the transfer market. Take McAuley for example. They basically got him for peanuts, but he's shown to be a very capable PL defenders. It all went a bit shit after Ashworth left them this summer and they had to panic buy on the deadline day with Anichibe deal, be interesting to see who they'll chase this winter. Were very good against the top 8 teams under Clarke. Fingers crossed the New Manager Bounce lasts only 3 games, and is well over when we visit Hawthorns in beginning of February.

Pardew's on an 8 year contract which will apparently cost £10m to relieve him of it. He's not going anywhere so we can look forward to more plodding attempts to change to a passing game for a while yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Just read this from a Norwich fan about Hughton regarding the Fulham game: His tactical naivity is astounding. Last night Fulham played 2 extremely immobile, huge centre backs. We had Elmander up front trying to win flick ons when we should be playing it round the centre backs, hanging off the shoulder. Given we had a "big man" up top, we probably shouldn't have been playing with 2 inverted wingers and tried to get some quality crosses into the box. You start David Fox but use the keeper and full backs as the outlet for the centre backs when they have the ball. Bassong needs it drilling into him that he's allowed to give it to the central midfielder who's dropping deep all the time to receive the ball rather than back to Bunn, who'll hit an aimless hoof, inviting pressure immediately onto us, or out to a full back who'll be closed down and **** it up the field. He has no clue how to impact a game. RvW was a midfielder yesterday. Dropping deep and wide to collect the ball at all opportunities and showing very visible signs of frustration at the way his team mates were playing around him. I read a stat yesterday which said we hadn't equalised away from home in 18 months, I haven't checked it but I think that tells you what you need to know about Hughton's Plan B, it doesn't exist. I'm not sure I really see a Plan A either. Nothing is conjoined. We defend, we get the ball out of our half by whatever means are easiest, then we don't have a strategy. We play 2 inverted wingers who have 2 goals and 3 assists between them in the league. It's pathetic. Snodgrass has managed 1 goal and zero assists, yet he is completely undroppable. Hughton may have had success elsewhere but he's proving himself to be a bad manager for us and it's time he left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
