Dokko Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 So those linking us with Keane just got the wrong Paddy? Anyway, this approach if correct is showing us thinking outside the box for the first time in a bloody long time. Hopefully it shows were not prepared to sit still but push on, i doubt a man like Vieira would allow for anything but ambition. Interesting to see what comes of his interview from his side.

Hanshithispantz Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 You cannot just send a manager out and then buy him back though whenever you want him, or at least you just wouldn't do it. If he comes to us then I imagine he'll be off City's list for replacing whoever he's meant to be replacing (unless he turns out to be absolutely fucking mega). It seems like the whole point of 'grooming' a manager is that he's already there when you need him, and he's already fully up to date and in the loop. Surely no matter how much they 'groom' him internally, they're not going to give him the top job when he's never managed at the top level before? It wouldn't be a matter of demanding him back, if he turns out well there'll be a natural rise in expectation over the course of the season and he'll go there. Although I think the same was said about O'Neill using the mackems as a stepping stone to the Man U job... He would just step in as caretaker and then keep the job if he does well I would assume. Or they could have looked at Barcelona with Guardiola and Vilanova. Anyway I'm just going by what Blueview said though "I can say that we are not that happy with the idea of PV leaving us... We see him as a potential replacement for any current manager we got" if that's the case and it applied to the Man City board I cannot see them wanting him to leave.

Twinport53 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 How much coaching had Gary Monk done at Swansea? Serious question. He's just had a good year. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32950777 Vieira talking about how he's been doing the coaching in Wales with Monk. Asking him tips about taking the step up to management. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Deb Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 After years of drudgery from Pardew and Carver, who cares if it goes tits up, if we have a bit of excitement along the way. Unproven managers got to start somewhere. Would rather an upcoming potential managerial talent like PV than boring journeysmen dross or desperados that we are likely to be foisted on us. As much as I would love to see this happen, I can't imagine him agreeing to work with the three amigos -our pathetic coaching team let alone receiving the necessary assurances from Chumley re signings that will be required.

lovejoy Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Just seen him in the Trafford centre with wife and daughter. He's massive. Told him to come to nufc, he smiled, but clearly didn't have a clue what I'd said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Why the morbid fascination with McClaren? A worn out never-has-been that has just been sacked from a Championship side that took an horrific nosedive in much the same way Carver did with us? So many alarm bells it's untrue. Given the choice it would be PV 1000% at least there's an element of unknown and a decent chance he could turn out to be a good HC. With Schteeve we know what we're getting, more of the same shit. McClaren would just be another sideways step, not the step forward we desperately need. Fuck that, fuck McClaren, fuck Ashley and Chumley! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Vieira would at the very least represent 'hope' to me. Hope that he might turn out well. Hope that somebody would have the bollocks to stand up to the regime if he didn't like their ways. Hope that he might 'get' the club. Hope that he might play decent football. Hope that we could have some respect for the clubs most important representative again. Steve McClaren does none of that imho. I really really hope it's not him.

mrmojorisin75 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Heart says 'yes', head says 'no, but I'll give him a chance'. Going to let my heart win this one like, would absolutely love it if we hired him. Think he'd look cool as fuck in a suit on the touch line as well. I don't like his coupon Looks like an over inflated balloon, that will ruin any potential cool factor for me. wnb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like the whole point of 'grooming' a manager is that he's already there when you need him, and he's already fully up to date and in the loop. Enrique went to Roma to cut his teeth. Failed. And still got the job. If Zidane went elsewhere with Madrid i'm certain they would hire him if he was anything but a complete disaster at his previous club and even then they would give him a go.

Ikon Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I agree 100% about the hope bit Mimosa! With McClaren it feels pretty certain what we'll get somehow. I'm sure that IF Vieira took over there would be a lot more excitement compared with McClaren. The fans would be more excited, our current players would be as well, for sure! Attracting new players will be a lot easier with Vieira as well. If it all goes to hell i can't see him staying. Could also go really well, who knows. With McClaren we'd be stuck in "nowhere mediocre land" for way too long (just my gut feeling though) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
