If Silva is sacked - who could/should we get?

[COYBL25]

I'm curious as to why you think that is?

Because he likes to build his teams by buying ready made and very expensive players.

When some of them invariably don’t work out, he then has hissy fits until he gets more money to buy upgrades.

If he doesn’t get the money he wants, he then goes gangster on his own players to prove his point.

I’m not saying he’s a bad manager, as his track record speaks for itself.

It’s jusf he’s not the right manager for us and we’re not the right club for him.

Look at the club's he goes to, none of them are our level, were not even close in the modern Sky/Champions League era to being big enough.
Besides, he is yesterdays man.

Laurent Blanc for me, but its possible hes probably above us.

The only chance we might have is that his 2 years away MIGHT have diluted his pedigree a little.

Our future manager looking board sat there next to Pep

To be honest his football is awfully slow and over elaborate. I don’t know why you want this on our limited players.

I hope that by some miracle he manages to turn it around and we don't need to replace him. That said , I can't see any way that will occur.
Any of Fonseca , Blanc or Arteta ,would be okay with me , and would be possibly within our reach.

Thing is how do you judge what is turning it around? One win against Liverpool isn't, 8th isn't, I don't see how he can turn it around now.

Definitely was standing close toPep, I think Newport's manager is a more likely bet. He ismuch more active than the comotose, dormant Arteta.

We wont have limited players in a few windows.

We need a base to work on, not some manager who can only play one style and that style is the worst we can play with.

We will have limited players as Long as we play possession base boreball. 2 windows will not fill us with excellent attacking front 6 unless our budget is 500m.

He plays 4-3-3 and won about 20 trophies in 5 years, thats all I care about at this point.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Has Lopetegui achieved anything at club level?

Genuine question. I can only remember him as part of Spain U21 and then senior set up. Obvs Madrid too. And I think Porto sacked him?

Nothing at club level mate (he was sacked by Rayo Vallecano and Porto) won the European championship with the Spanish U19s (2012) and the U21s (2013)

He can play whatever he likes but when he take over this team with most of the players so poor at passing, creativity and dribbling it’s simply impossible to play the way he wants.

Well then we should keep Silva for 2 years till we have a decent squad!

We would boss League One I reckon.
