Optimistic Nut Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Still offering the most important job at the club to people because: 1) They're cheap 2) They'll accept players coming and going without their say 3) They'll work with the idiots we gave 8 year contracts to 4) We won't have to pay compensation His name is irrelevant. That's the basis we hire on, it hasn't changed since Keegan left. I'd be very surprised if Vieira is coming in on the cheap mind, he's probably on more than the rest of our staff put together at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Would be the 3rd World Cup winner to manage us if he does get the gig Fourth. Ardilles, Charlton and? Kinnear in 1926. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthyaddiction Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 There is a bit of evidence, he's intelligent, highly experienced and a real competitor. It's doesn't mean he'll be a good manager, but it gives him a chance. He isn't highly experienced. He literally has no experience in management beyond youth level. Aye I know, I obviously meant in football. Great my students are highly experienced in a classroom I'm going to let to fuckers start doing the teaching.

Bada Bing Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 His contract is running out at City according to their forum. Apparently he's wanted to progress for some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 This is crackers if true. Not sure what to think. He could have the making of a good coach but if you listened to the media so did John carver; the coach who had all the experience and guidance. This club man, who the fuck knows.

Guest firetotheworks Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 It makes no sense to get excited about this like, sorry. He has zero top level experience and is purely being seen as a good thing because he was a great player and it's more glamourous than Carver. That's it, we know nothing about him, nor do they, nor does anyone and that should be met with negativity. Nah. Given the realistic alternatives (that Charnley and Ashley might actually appoint) of Brucey and McLaren, an unknown quantity breeds some amount of excitement. He's unproven, and based on that he'll probably fail at a PL club. But the fact we don't know what he'll bring, and that he's done some ok things with the Man City youth and his establishment of Diembars, as well as his invoolvement at Tromsø IL in Norway and such makes me quite excited. Obviously would rather have the likes of Garde and Jemez, but Vieira instead of McLaren? Yes. Every day. You're presenting the scenario that Bruce or McClaren are the only alternatives when they're obviously not, they're enforced alternatives, which is why someone like Vieira isn't anything to get excited about when the club could and absolutely should be making appointments based on actual merit.

chicago_shearer Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Odd choice but he's obviously intelligent, respected in the game and ambitious to prove himself as a manager. Would happily take a chance on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Not that I'm a fan of giving ex footballers a managers job I would much prefer him to Carver or McClaren. I would imagine that he would he want to play attactrive football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 People saying he's never done anything. Neither had keegan. Got to start somewhere Exactly, Keegan had been playing golf on the Costa Del Sol for 8 years before managing us, at Least Vieira is still involved in the game and at a top club as well. It's a gamble, but why not? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it, we know nothing about him, nor do they, nor does anyone and that should be met with negativity. So If they appoint him would you get behind him? I can't see me getting behind any managers under Ashley, but the honest answer is that I don't know because I know absolutely nothing about him and nor does anyone else. If it was a good manager, yes. A bad manager, no. An unknown manager, I don't know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Obviously he's unqualified for this job, we should be going for people like Klopp. But on the basis we won't do that, I would like this to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Cheer up you moody lot ffs I doubt anyone's excited that we're about to and win the league or something, it's exciting because it's Patrick Vieira! Would make next season at the very least interesting. Or he could be absolute shite (the more likely answer at this point) and next season will be just as bad as this one. I honestly cannot see what's exiting about this at all? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timnufc22 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 He's a genuine leader with presence and commands respect. While he has no proper managerial experience these are qualities which are part of being a good manager. Yes he would have to prove other things, but he'd have these traits to build on and I'd also like to think he wouldn't accept being treat like a mug by those above.

I'm not opposed to Vieira as manager though, at all. I find it a refreshing option and given what I know of his work I'd under normal circumstances, albeit he's never managed a top side, be excited we're the team giving him the chance. We'll never give him the tools to succeed though, which is a shame. But yes, I don't think it's a bad appointment at all. I'd rather have Jemez, Garde and such, but I'm not at all displeased if we get Vieira. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gomez Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 At very least he'd be able to command the players' respect. I know notihng about him as a coach, but the fact that he's in that position at Man City and possibly being groomed for the first team role must mean someone's seen something in him. At least not being confirmed shit yet would give us a little bit longer ot dream before the reality of supporitng S**** D*****'s marketing department hits again.
