New Manager Thread

Longest shot.....Jurgen Klopp?

 

[St. Luigi Scrosoppi]

Now certain I want to smack him in the face...no one likes a smartarse

What is a smartarse? Someone who thinks they're right all of the time? That sounds like most of the women I know.

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

Been mentioned!

Maybe someone who is managing at the Euros.......?

Super Marian Pahars!

It's written.

(Just call me Ides!)

If all the women you know are always right, sounds like you are always wrong.

I know one shouldn't consider looks..........but, really. A face made for radio.

..and cartoons - Mr Magoo.

The problem I have with Eddie Howe is the ego of some of our current squad and anyone we wanted to sign on. All they will see is, no mark player and only managed AFC Bournemouth and Burnley. This will severely hamper and top European recruitment I think.

These opinions are not necessarily mine but I can imagine those collective dumb-ar**s know as footballers thinking that. Also no matter how we admire him and pundits do, it really is not making any sort of 'statement' after we've just been rejected by our last Ratfinks for being 'small' and 'not ambitious'.

Having said that big name for the sake of big name can easily backfire as well.

Basically I have no idea what the right way to go is...

I don't really see any of those making much sense. Jögi Löw will stay in Germany.

 

[SaintFletch]

Gary Neville???

 

[Brixham Saint]

Joachim Low. Has been mentioned that he will be leaving the German job after the euros?

 

[Saint Sosa]

Any of these?

None of them really excite me, Koller and Petkovic would be guesses if we are after any of them.

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

Okay, here's a wildcard option for you -

Marcello Gallardo from River Plate.

Or Vincenzo Montella.

 

[tomw24]

Hiddink? Or does he have something else lined up?

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

Eduardo Berrizo is a Bielsa disciple and done great stuff at Celta. He has....controversial views on homosexuality though which would likely bring us some unwanted press.

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

Christophe Galtier from St Etienne would be interesting too and fits the mould.

 

[Puck]

A younger, lower profile manager could fit with the new direction we've heard about. I dunno. Happy to wait and see on this.

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

Ask him about those four DTLW -

Gallardo
Montella
Berrizo
Galtier.

 

[Archers Road]

Villas-Boas is the antithesis of the British football archetype: erudite, well-bred, and achingly modern and, consequently, he was a natural target for that shouty, xenophobic media core who are still in thrall to the way things were.

I love that sentence. We'll have him I think. I'll let Mr Reed know.

"Well bred"? What is he, a race horse? As for "achingly modern", is this a reference to his suits and beard or his football philosophy?

 

[Saint Sosa]

Hopefully it's not Laurent Blanc, haven't seen him mentioned anywhere

 

[Number 1 Jasper]

Hopefully it's not Laurent Blanc, haven't seen him mentioned anywhere

I have now.......

Anyone could turn out to be right if one of their choices was unnamed. When a man is appointed, you just say that was who you meant. Cannot fail.

Could it be that this itk is in fact a kfa?
