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

[Moomin]

What people need to realise is that whilst Biesla inspired managers like Guardiola and Pochettino, both of those amongst others took the basis of his high pressing game and TWEAKED it.

Basically Biesla (like Martinez) adapts the purest forms of their philosophy with little in terms of a plan B.

my own personal opinion is that he would be a bad appointment, his temperament and stubbornness may have us as frustrated as we currently are under Roberto, alongside the fact the bloke hasn't won any trophies in the game.

If we don't go for a top manager like Mourinho or Emery then we really do need to aim for a Mancini or Pellegrini.

Are you available? I bet you are good on football manager.

Bielsawould be entertaining at least. It would be the wildcard of wildcards

If Gary Neville can get a gig in Spain, I am sure Roberto can.

But he would get nowhere near the wage he is on here.

He is a very good 'one off game manager' no doubt about that. The FA Cup has been very good to him (even last season we where very unlucky to lose to West Ham with 10 men).
But he got Wigan relegated and a taken a well drilled and very competitive squad of talented players here, to the lower end of mid table in the league and I can only see that decline becoming more evident as the seasons progress.

Any club would analyse our consistency with no finance as such over the decade of Moyes in charge, and then the capitulation of the past 24 months in the league with 100m spent with Martinez in charge.

Would you hire him?

Bob, Bielsa? bielsaBob, Beelzebub! Ye gods it is the end of days! Bill Kenwright truly is the antichrist! )

Guys do you think that Echos tone has changed?

We don't pay the difference do we? lol
He is a Manager that wants to manage. Not stay out of the game for 3 seasons.

Would you hire him?

If we could find the poll when Moyes left you will see I was scathing. I didn't want to touch him. Fortunately for him though, there are BKs and Daves out there in the world that gush at the thought of him. He will find a job immediately.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Agree with groucho here I don't feel sorry for him. Although football managers tend to get sacked regularly they do get paid very well and like Bobby are either paid up or kept on gardening leave until another job comes along. A bit different to the real world that if you're sacked that's your lot.

Think it's pretty much the same as the "real world" if you're on a fixed term contract and sacked for something other than gross misconduct.

I think what we are all forgetting with Jose is the fact that his Chelsea contract was 30m over 4 years.

Seems unlikely we would pay a manager 250k a week.

Basically, Jose is OFF lads.

We pay Martinez 3m a year, we could give Jose 5m a year no problem.

Mourinho is not money motivated, he didn't want his pay off from Chelsea when they sacked him.

I don't really want Bielsa, he's never won anything and he plays a crazy formation that I don't think would work over a whole season in the prem.

who do you fancy then?

My god the Pellegrini shouts really need to do one. Look at him, he's fed up, bored and looks ready for retirement. The only significant thing he's ever won is a Premier League with the most expensive ever team in this country, and a title that was gifted to him by Slippy G

I'd say same things about Ranieri last year.

 

[Coffee and TV]

Ideally I'd like Mourinho but I don't think that's possible. I think De Boer would be a good choice, he's won titles and cups at Ajax and was assistant manager when the Netherlands got to the world cup final a few years ago.

Also for a 60 year old he hasnt got a lot of games under his belt, probably because he keeps leaving clubs and then buggering off for years.

He would be intriguing at least. I dont like his choice of dresswear. I always like my managers to look smart and wear a suit. Bielsa is a bit of a meff.

lollollollollollol defo a bit of a meff.

I think he would be interesting, however his record doesn't look like he stays anywhere that long. Plays interesting football formations though, and he plays a style we would love of high pressing and non stop running.

but... i don't think he is the one for us.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

Honestly, if Utd don't want Mourinho, and there is a lot of talk they don't, I think he would come here 100%.

He wants to stay in England, after Utd, we are a great project for him, he'll look at our squad and see the money Mosh is willing to spend and think that's a good gig for me.

Mourinho has always admired us, complemented us many times when he came to Goodison.
