Absolutely. But if he's the most raved about manager in Europe I would have thought me, or one of one of my mates, would have heard the name before.

I’m baffled how you’ve not heard of him kind he’s been pretty headline for the last year or so, all over Sky and all the football press.

And why's that? Did you know who Pep was managing before he took over at Barcelona?
 
Maybe he's just the most raved about young manager in Europe with people who've heard of him? I mean how do you even qualify his renown <confused>
 
He is a futsal lover mate. That is the quickest version of the game there is. There are a group of young british coaches pushing that in this country. I would wager he has more varied outlooks on how to play than every other coach we have been linkee with.
Hopefully he brings some intensity to our build up play then because I really dislike how slow we play at the moment
 
I replied to a poster who said Still is the most ravee about young manager in Europe. I said he wasnt, and used Alonso as an example of someone more highly regarded. There are several others I could have suggested to be honest.

Such as? Still is raved about due to what he's done in the game at such a young age.

Mind I'm not saying he's definitely going to be a hit if he does come here.
 
I mean Alonso was always gonna be a good coach because of his aura and persona, but **** me you seen the squad he’s got?

My ball bag could have that squad winning games.
Haway mate, it is not that simple. Otherwise Henry would have done better at Monaco or Maradona at Argentina. So many players prove to be rubbish coaches.

Oh I ain’t saying that mate, note my first line. I think because of who he is and his personality he is going to be a massive coach. He will manage top clubs and do it well.

Just saying that Leverkusen squad is filth and he’s hit a (by their standards) weak Bayern and inconsistent Dortmund.

Hoeness, Tedesco, Farioli(<laugh>)

Fair play mate. I know Alonso aint coming here, just dont see Still as this elite level coach some do. Could be wrong.

I don’t mate, but I see how he could get there. I’ve got the Reims game on now funnily enough and they have switched approach a couple times already and really should be 2 up away to Lens (a CL side)

He definitely has something and he seems to bring players on, Balogun last season being pretty headline. Wasn’t really rated by Arsenal and he went back there as a £40million sale.

It’s things like that that are catching the eye, and make you feel he’s a fit here.

You mean the lad who made over 200 appearances for Barcelona over a 10+ year period? Aye, I'd heard of him.
 
What do you lot think of Doddsy now after today, would you still keep him in situ. as head coach.
In all fairness I didn’t want him to get the job full time even before today, purely because interim managers who start off well then get the job full time nearly always have a shelf life, just also think Beale is massively the wrong choice

What he did as a player means nowt when it comes to managing.

He was the Barca B team manager when he got the promotion.
 
There’s surely no way it’s not Beale. Otherwise one of the outlets that reported it would have updated
