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

[Peter The Dog]

In my eye's there's only one man for this job and its Pellegrini.

I wouldn't say no to Pellegrini, I really wouldn't. My biggest concern with him is that his recent posts have involved managing top teams, where he has ultimately failed with the resources given to him.

I just want a solid man-manager who can set-up the team to play some intelligent and effective football. That's not a big ask, given the squad we have.

RM had his Villa interview today

So you're a Villa mole as well? Busy lad.

 

[roydo]

Can someone highlight in one paragraph why they want Pelegríni over de boer

Not that arsed either way.

Both have merits. Proven v Potential basically.

Think FDB would be the more imaginative one, and never been that bowled over by MP. But MP would not be a disaster. FDB might be.

Where has that splinter come from ffs.

Why? There were plenty of fans that had it out for Martinez before he was even appointed because they wanted Vitor Pereira instead (who's managed 3 teams in nothing leagues and won nothing either in Martinez's time) and now they've got their way and Martinez is gone they want it all swept under the rug. All they want to do is talk Martinez's flaws without acknowledging his good points. Did he have flaws, bloody right, but let's not rewrite history eh. What exactly would Vitor have done for us do you think? What was his philosophy? At least Martinez had a long term vision, any manager we pick from what's on offer now is same old same old apart from FDB and he wants to join us because of the foundations laid by Martinez, his philosophy which is now seen as OUR philosophy. I'm not saying bring back Martinez but at least open your eyes to his bad AND good points.

Wind it in.

Martinez wretched philosophy included not being arsed about clean sheets and valuing the supposed performance over the result.

If you genuinely think that De Boer is interested in Everton due to the complete failure of Martinez then you need to go give your head a wobble

Concerning

Certainly a massive contrast to their home form which I always find a little bit strange but usually exists to some extent.

I would open them, but they're still bleeding after watching the painful bilge Martinez served up for waaaay too long.

Good points:
Seemed nice

Bad points:
Crap at being a football manager

Seemed being the operative word. In reality a complete charlatan and fraudster.

Either way, this is not about our ex manager. Its about our new one.

But come on mate, youre literally just looking at Emery's performance in half the games this season. And he still managed to win the Europa league for the third successive season! Look at his career as a whole mate; hes consistently done very, very well in the league, won trophies and all with a net spend of more than -£100m. Are you really going to ignore that because he finished 8th this season, had a poor away record and yet still won a trophy!

To be honest the -£100m net spend means f*** all to me. I'm sick of not spending money considering how much clubs are making and receiving. I want a manager who is gonna spend not save.

 

[orly]

So we're agreed that there is only Moyes and Pellegrini left on the list?

Come home David.

Thingy was a childrens TV presenter here in NZ. Here is a pic of Thingy

WTF IS THAT?!

But obviously you have to factor in the players at his disposal when judging his ability.

You can't expect a team with that net spend to win La Liga...right? It's a variable that has to be accounted for when attempting to judge who is the best manager for the job.

I doubt our next manager will spend anyway. That will be left largely to the other appointment.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Some absolute bubbles being chatted in here. The most recent Esk post should be stickied to the top of the thread for all to see so people don't miss it and get wound up by helmets with too much spare time.

 

[ijjysmith]

We need a manager sharpish to stop the madness.

I am going to cry soon.
