Who are some of the good Turkish players who are now managers? Tugay? Alpay? I thought it might be Arda Turan but he’s going to Shakhtar apparently.
The last thing we need is a name that's made up out of a random spoonful of alphabet spaghetti. We need a manager who's had years of experience in the championship and can build a fighting team spirit.
This is weirder and arguably more hectic than the appointment of Walter last year. Last year, we knew of Cooper and Walter being linked. Cooper turned us down and it was common knowledge Walter would get the job for about a week before the announcement. This time, we’ve heard several different names like Riera, Bilić and Şahin that people on here have been told by their sources is the frontrunner. What’s going on? Crossed wires or does the club not know who they want from their list of candidates yet?
Surely we'd have no chance with Vieira? He's managing a mid-table Serie A team and he's really well-liked there. He took Genoa from the relegation zone to mid-table. But if it was a possibility, as someone who watches Genoa every week (don't ask), he'd be a great appointment.
Having 10 pages to read through I was fully expecting a manager was going to be named..... Nuri Sahin stats as a manager can be interpreted either way but he must have something about to have been hired at Dortmund....
He was a legend at the club, they took a chance and it didn't worked out. He was managing Antalyaspor and deliberately switched to be assistant manager because it was promised him that he will take over at the end of season.
Then, when I thought we were in with a chance we saw a master class of a performance from a Man City player which is probably the best performance I have seen against us. Looked like Man Citynwere the team with the extra player. And he was only 5’’7”.Only the second time I have ever applauded an opposition player.
