Who's it going to be then... and when are we likely to find out? I keep hoping they'll drop something in CTV , but they haven't mentioned a word! One things for sure though, the rumour mongers have only speculated on one name! I cant take the suspense! HELP!!!
Well, it won't be Harry, as it looks like he'll be remaining with QPR, even when they are relegated. Martin O'Neal? I think he deserves another chance. Sparky? He has CFC connections. It won't be Mourhino, despite all the masturbatory stories in the gutter media. If no one is prepared to risk it, you could even be stuck with Coco.
Oh so they're gutter now , far from your opinions a couple of weeks ago when Bale was compared to Ronaldo. By the way, who's Martin O'neal? Mourinho first choice if we get CL, if not I'd be happy with Hiddink again. Zola if not.
Drogs Don't think I could handle it if Zola got the job. Can you just picture it when Roman sacks him @ Christmas?
Yeah that's the only reason I'd be inclined not to give him the reigns. But he seems like he's got a brilliant managerial career ahead of him.
I would've thought a proven successful manager is what you need so that were things not to go right straight away there would still be confidence that he can lead you forward, Chelsea's clearly not an easy club to walk into these days. Then again, Ancelotti represented that kind of option and Abramovich still gave him the boot. Ultimately it's down to Abramovich lowering his expectations as regardless of what kind of manager you go for, you're not going to get the best out of them because for that you need to keep someone long term and no matter how talented the manager they'll also need a good chunk of luck to bring immediate success and continue it every season after - which seems to be the only way to avoid the sack with Abramovich.
zola would come on a crest of a wave but soon plummet to the depths of sacked before xmas. I always thought that capello could survive the hot seat and do a job for us.
No offence intended in this post - Whoever it is will be very much money orientated, because it's pretty much a dead cert they'll last 1 or 2 seasons max then get a big pay-off. You can't blame someone for wanting that, as I'd happily take the job! If we're all completely honest it's probably the most unmotivated job in football. I'm actually looking forward to seeing who your next manager will be - and whether they make the rich list in a couple of years time (max). I honestly dont want this to come across as a WUM post, but unfortunately it is the truth.
I love all the "it wont be Mourinho" talk. Totally wreeks of hope rather than belief, in that these people "hope" its not Mourinho, because he is one of the two best managers in the world, the other being a certain Knighted Scot. He will probably leave Real at the end of this season, and has said he wants his next job to be in the PL. Where can he go? Man Utd = No chance, unless SAF retires, which is isnt gonna happen this year. Arsenal = They wouldnt pay him what he wanted, and again, this would only be an option if Wenger were sacked, which is unlikely. Spurs = AVB looks to be doing a decent job and has them contending for CL spots, so dont think he will get sacked. So if he wants to come back to the PL, its Chelsea really. A club that he already knows the workings of, the fans already love him, the senior players adore him, and the only team he has managed with whom he hasnt won the CL before leaving (hopefully he will do it before leaving Real this year). Jose is the kind of ego that would be annoyed by that tarnish on his record and would want to change it. For me the only thing that will stop JM coming back will be if he cant work things out with Roman in terms of board influence and signings. I am not saying Mourinho is definately coming, but there seems to be a decent chance atleast.
@Bodanki There's a possibility he might go to City, if they decide to chop Mancini.....BUT - I agree Chelsea is arguably the most likely place he'll end up.
To be honest I forgot about City. Its the most likely after Chelsea. I think it would be a tad premature for them to sack mancini to be honest on the back of 2 top two finishes and most likely an FA Cup win. His CL form has left alot to be desired. They have suffered from bad groups due to low seeding, but then again so did Chelsea between 2004 and 2007 and we always made it past the group stage. He should be given another season imo to try get the title back and improve their CL form.
Keep up. We keep them on the payroll until they get a new job,no big payoffs now. As for truth you're a scouse so how the **** would you know anything about the truth
