Mole_Toonfan Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Fascinated by this, however I very much doubt he will be a sucesss. If he was anything special I'd expect City to be more appealing than coming to us right now. Happy to be proven wrong, would rather gamble on this than Carver. Tbf I don't particularly think he is anything special but City will never appoint him even if he was. They'll always go for a much bigger name in management terms.

Ronaldo Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 If Pete Graves has got this info from the club you can bet it's some sort of attempt to convince McClaren to accept a derisory salary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 What amazes me most here isn't the link with Vieira but the fact some people initially questioned whether he would be better than John Carver Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Would make things interesting at least. Wasn't sure initially but someone mentioned batshit insane attacking football so based on that i'm in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Would rather roll the dice than get a British merry go round tosser. Probably an accident waiting to happen if we did go for Vieira but maybe we'll strike gold. Hard to tell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Much rather going for the unknown than the average. It's worth the risk even if it doesn't work out. Would like us to aim higher though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Think this is really exciting. Everyone who dealt with him said he was an outstanding, competitive leader and must have learnt plenty from Wenger. His pulling power for players will be great too There's gambling on an unproven manager like Hughton or Carver, and there's gambling on one of the best players of the last 20 years.

It's not really. I'm pretty sure he's got it in him to scrape more than a point from a quarter of a season, unlike Geordie John. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Notice no one has mentioned that he's black yet. Give it 24 hours and Oliver Holt will have tweeted/written a story about the lack of black managers in the game again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Pete Graves is pretty reputable isn't he? He's clearly in bed with the club, has been for a few years. Might be a mong but he's information is at least reliable. Aye that's all I meant by reputable. Anyway I think this would be mental. If we want to take a punt on a relatively inexperienced French manager who played under Wenger, why not go for Garde? Obviously I don't buy any of that pish about the city not being arty enough or whatever it was in the other thread lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 No idea what he would be like in a tactical or coaching sense but he is undoubtedly a great leader of men who would get the very best motivation out of the British and French players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are always options but are they attainable? Of those that are I'm not sure they are going to achieve much more than mid table and more apathy. Newcastle and Vieira might not have much affinity yet, but I see him as someone with the pedigree to wake the club up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
