AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I quite liked him at Arsenal, they had bigger cultural and strategic problems to address, which they still haven't. Not that we don't, but you'd hope our strategy will enable him more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, think he would have eventually done well at Arsenal, but they were never going to be patient with him, as they were trying to be right back in that top 4 place they were starting to lose. Could see him do very well with a club like Newcastle, especially coming after a joker like Bruce. Everyone will be behind him and the atmosphere around the place is going to be immense.

Rich Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Never had much love for Emery, and loved Ben Arfa making a mockery of him at PSG and then later at Rennes, but can't say I felt anything much for Rafa before he came. Have a feeling he'd be as about as close as we can get to him in terms of style and attention to detail, so would be more than willing to give him a chance. Definitely not excited by him, though, and any concerns people have/had about Benitez and ASM would be relevant here too. Structure above all else.

Thumbheed Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Yeh, I dont think we've the players to be able to play a free flowing attacking game so someone like Emery who plays counter like Rafa could be perfect. Think making us defensively solid is our first priority. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Yeah, Emery is definitely more Rafa or Mourinho like for sure. Considering where we are at the minute, it might well be far more prudent to go with this kind of manager, as we have completely lost any kind of structure or discipline on the pitch. It is a complete and utter mess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Lampard is pretty much bottom of the list for me, along with the PFM crew. Clearly, Gerrard had been much more convincing in management but he’s hardly tried and tested and I’ve never liked him much. Would like us to go abroad because the crop here is poor. Rodgers would have been a great option but I’m not that disappointed that he’s not keen on it as he’s a bit of a twat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmic Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Some of the Managers who have declined may be trying to be kind or diplomatic since technically their old pal Brucie is still in place. Once he gets the boot, they could be more open. Although I imagine if any were really keen, their Agents would have been in contact . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I would take Gerrard now and I’d think that he would come. Even if it’s a bit underwhelming when you think about the names we have been linked with that have the type of pedigree we will need in the long-term, the guy's a winner as a player and manager. That would instantly change the mentality of the current set up and demand some respect from the players to get us out of the current mess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish Mag Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Assuming Gerrard was a genuine target it's his coach Michael Beale (who is often credited as being the brains behind positive coaching/tactics) that would be the most appealing part of getting him in. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56298826 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I like Gerrard, think he just needs a chance in a competitive league. He'd bring energy and drive and wouldn't accept half arsed and really that's what is wrong with our squad, thrive gone soft from having it too easy.

Guest HTT II Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I would get behind him or even Lampard, either would be a bit underwhelming, but Gerrard has done a great job at Rangers even though yes it’s a tin pot two team league, but he showed balls and mettle to go there as his first job and to totally turn them around like he has is no mean feat indeed.

He will, but he’ll only get that if he’s been successful and again, the beauty about our new owners is if a manager doesn’t perform he will be replaced, if they do perform and leave for somewhere else, we will be in a position to replace them with someone equal or better.
