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

[Toffeeslam]

He's nothing like Martinez, he hasn't relegated a club for a start. And he also has a bit of a personality and toughness to him, he takes no prisoners and can actually motivate players

But how do you motivate players when you don't speak the local lingo ??

That's why I'm not too sure

 

[kithnou]

Perfectly understandable. @The Esk agrees but I just think we'd benefit from his experience more than we'd be at a disadvantage due to personality.

then I hope @The Esk 's choice is someone very special indeed

 

[MikeH72]

do they want to win things or date him?

They want a boring beige blank canvas of a man like Martinez who rolls out the same cliched crap every day and has the same reaction to winning as he does losing. The best managers are knobheads, that's just how it is, because they HATE losing. Sir Whiskey Nose was one of the biggest bell ends that's ever been involved in football, you think any United fans care?

 

[MikeH72]

That's the reason I want him. He demands success from his players and staff, who at the moment are getting an easy ride. The club needs a big shake up and he has the personality to do it.

This pretty much

A grenade waved in my face would motivate me

I'd just feel that one day it'd all explode and he'd leave us with a colossal mess to clean up.

We've got one of them on at the mo lol

Not sure I like the idea of a short term guy.

 

[riddick]

Can you imagine the media coverage we would get if Mourinho rocked up at GP?

I hope this Esk suggestion is 100% true and happens sooner rather than later. If we don't win this week it would be the perfect time if the right candidate is available to take over immediately.

I would actually prefer a Mourinho or a De Boer to a South American, as much as I respect Pelligrini or the other fellow Bielsa.

what @The Esk say? Don't see anything here...

Not sure they want boring.

But to add, Harry Catterick was famously difficult but look at what he did.

I don't, either. I want a 20 year dynasty, winning everything in sight. Mourinho definitely wouldn't deliver that - but I'd take the short-term lift if it were offered.

Grenade eh ?

remodelling Goodison on the cheap

Jose Mourinho is the greatest manager of his generation. If there is even an inkling that he is interested we should be all over him, he'd bring us to a level we havent been in a long long time.

Brian Clough too was hard as nails, players feared him but in a good way, it got them to perform at a level above what they would normally perform. Our players are in a comfort zone because our manager doesn't care about losing

The club has already spoken to at least four potential replacements. It's just a matter of time now.

Like a cheap suit...personality and all

HUZZAH!!! Now hurry the f up already. Need this MUCH sooner rather than later..
