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

Lopetegui

His Porto team was awful.

 

[HuddersfieldToffee]

Roger Schmidt.

Just throwing my usual monthly suggestion out there.

Not a bad shout got a pretty solid team at Leverkusen

 

[Garrick]

Bob Bradley currently has Le Havre in the promotion spots over in Ligue 2.

The rest of you keep throwing out joke suggestions, so I'm just gonna keep riding this train.

 

[nsno-chris]

Anybody with a bit of a football brain who can actually inspire players

 

[anton66]

Someone who can actually see what we are.

 

[hetion]

I'd take Pellegrini based more on what he achieved in Spain than what he's done with City.

Also Lucien Favre...the way he left Gladbach was weird but would be an ideal candidate apart from that perhaps.

 

[Woolly Blue]

We'll get the Neville bros.

.

Right now, I'd take the Chuckle Brothers.
I'll probably feel different tomorrow though.

http://spielverlagerung.com/2014/04/15/red-bull-salzburg-under-roger-schmidt-2014/ Good Analysis of the Team shape he had a RB Salzburg, the tactics haven't really changed, for those who're into that sort of thing.

He'd be pretty fun

Lucien Favre was my pre-Moshiri choice. Now that we aren't skint I would probably go for Pellegrini.

Probably a few people who are in to who'res mate, but this is a family site

By the time we get spanked at anfield and made a mockery of in the cup semi, I think most of us on here will be happy just to see a fresh non bull shi##ing face spouting absolute guff week after week.

Pellegrini shouts everywhere I look at the moment, I mean he's certainly better than Martinez but I'm not wholly convinced. His time in Spain was very impressive but he's not set the world alight at City, particularly this year. Looks like the only manager of quality who will be available though, he'll definitely do for me.

When you look at what he said about "being willing to take a project on in the Premier League and it's not just about the money" ( i'm paraphrasing ) , you have to wonder where he might be thinking of :-

• Leicester - no. Ranieri's got that covered
  
• Tottenham - No. Manager's safe as houses and not a project anyway
  
• Arsenal - No - not a project
• Citeh - Plainly not
• West Ham - Kind of fits "a project", but Bilic's in control
• United - Not a project
• Soton - similar to West Ham, but substitute Koeman for Bilic
• Liverpool - If Klopp hadn't been recently appointed I could see that, but not now
• Chelsea - not a project
• West Brom - not enough ambition there, they'll be happy with Pulis
• Bournemouth - Can't see them shifting Howe out
• Watford - A possibility, but not very likely
• Swansea - might have legs
• Palace - Can't honestly see it
• Norwich - See Palace
• Sland, Newcastle and Villa - Err, no.
• Promoted teams - Seems very unlikely

So, if it's not just words, it's us or Swansea. I'd say if Pellegrini is managing a Premier League club next season it'll be us. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he'd been sounded out about that possibility.

I think he'll go back home mate. His family have always remained in Chile whilst he's been here and I recall him saying after City, that he would be calling it a day.
