Next manager discussion (poll reset 21/05/2016)

[Thomasc]

Whoever it is has a big job on his hands. The squad looks like its going to change beyond recognition. Several players out of contract, some others seemingly wanting to leave. So, the sooner the better. The new manager must be given as much time as possible to get settled into the club and be ready to work with the players as soon as they return for pre-season.

This is why I want Koeman, exactly the same situation he took over at Southampton.

New managers tend to bring players in from their old team if possible; would you rather we got City rejects or the chance at the best players from Saints or Ajax?

De Boer has done the same with Ajax every summer he has seen his top players move on, and had to replace with limited funding and promoting youth.

Who's MP? Hope you don't mean Pellergrini?

So, according to posts so far, and discounting JM, it's either FDB, MP, UE, DM, RK, MO'N, FSW, LF, EH, DU and UTC and all.

Yes

No

I wanted Jose (pipe dream I know). Koeman next in line for me, but he's not available and I think he'll stay at Southampton. They're in a better position than us right now. We are a massive challenge for any manager and we need someone who is up to that.

Pretty much spot on.

And he has a plan B

Oh not adverse to FDB either by the way, especially as I backed him!

Collymore did say weeks ago he had heard it was going to be De Boer after we lost against West Ham. Not sure why if it is though they cannot announce it and let him get in with the job.

 

[Coffee and TV]

Koeman will have Europa League football at Southampton next season after yesterday now.

He already had it, its west ham that got it yesterday

If Koeman stays on at Saints, Frank De Boer goes to the Chinese league for the money I can see us going back to Moyes.

The Royle Rhino show.

Dream ticket.

At least we know he will sign players with a bit if steel like Cattermole. None of these foreign namby pambies!

I really dont want Pellegrini , for me he has underperformed at City and some of his transfer dealings have been extremely ropey.We should be looking for a younger man with fire in his belly for example Simone or Emery , I know they will not be easy to get but lets start at the top(Mourinho) and work down.
Pellegrini for me looks more like a grave digger than a football manager on his title run in he lost the biggest game they had when RS beat them on the run in and but for slippy would not have won it.

Why does it matter what he looks like, if he wins football games I couldn't care less, but he did win it, it's irrelevant what could of happend, it didn't, if we had won 38 games this season we would have won the league, we didn't
