This link has reignited a bit of hope but you just can't see how we're compatible. I'm relieved we've recognised the absolute necessity of having a European coach, though.

He's European only in nationality though, that's literally it. :lol: We know absolutely nothing in practice of his style, his tactics etc.

I dare say he's be more culturally compatible with our international squad than Steve McClaren, is my point - not so much from a tactical point of view. Plus if we're going to continue with the French market, we might as well have a French manager. I doubt we'd have left Hatem, Yanga-Mbiwa and Marveaux to rot if the manager had been French, for example. They've probably twigged this and it's something of a relief.

Vieira hasn't lived in France for years though

I've said all that needs to be said, like. It's a stupid idea and the club haven't 'twigged' anything. As usual they're looking to cut as many corners as possible for the maximum reward.

Do you honestly reckon Vieira being French has absolutely no bearing on him being shortlisted?

 

The people in charge are cunts and they won't have changed their overall philosophy towards the club (the business), but if we're genuinely after Vieira there's clearly a slight change in tack, even if he would probably be comparatively a cheaper option. Forgive me for having a modicum of interest for once.

I'm really tired of being cynical. There's no reason not to be, of course, but it's still mentally tiring to have a thing you really enjoy be such drudgery to follow. That said, Vieira represents a different sort of cynicism from Ashley than we're used to, so that's something. A cynical appointment with the side effect of allowing us to have a guy in charge I enjoy hearing from and who hasn't already been proven to be utterly bland.

 

We're still in prison but they changed the color of the paint.

I don't know why but in my mind I keep coming back to Paolo Di Canio when I try to think of the positives in this one. Could be completely wrong but I can't shake it.

I can't see the comparison tbh. Di Canio came from a League One club where he'd already had a reputation for having clashes with players.

 

Vieira has just spent the last few years overlooking Manchester City developing one of the best youth setups and facilities in world football.

I don't think there's anyone that doesn't see the risk in this.

 

BUT, surely that generates a bit of excitement, which we've not had for years.

 

I like it.

 

And, so what if it fails, we'll stick lasagne face back in charge and the pressure will mount again on the bellends running the club.

“It’s about the vision. I’ve been here for three years from the B licence to the pro licence and I really know myself. I really know which kind of manager I want to be.

 

“They don’t try to put something in my head. It’s about who I am as a person and how I see the game and how they can give me the tools to be a successful manager.”
