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

He's an absolutely brilliant manager who seems totally suited to the club. I can't see him leaving, must be superb if you're an Atletico fan.

I hope he stays there. What an achievement to take on and beat real and barca with nowhere near the resources. Just down to a brilliant manager who tactically is up there with the best of them.

And he managed to throw away a two goal lead twice in the process, it's like he was born to manage us.

Cocu for me out of the ones Goat listed.

AVB for me. Everything points in his favour.

Personally I think we need someone that is better at press conferences and post match interviews. I'm sick of listening to his generic, eternally positive, straight from a management manual bullshit. The novelty has firmly worn off. I even wonder if he is some form of extra terrestrial masquerading as a football manager. I can just see a little man in his head driving him, perpetually hitting the soft tissue injury button.

Someone put up that Paul Merson rant about him on soccer Saturday again - that hit the nail on the head .( not sure how to !)

It reminds me of an article i read after Moyes left on Tuchel mate, gave a great insight into his way of working and the fact he was almost obesessed with football to a detail of minutia

Would take Emery in a heartbeat after reading that though, type of mindset combined with actually being able to get a team to perform for him as well which is the sign of a top manager

Really interesting to see how these very top coaches/managers work. A very good English (non football) example of this would be Dave Brailsford who worked on making improvements ( no matter how small) in the minutest aspect of cycling. The result - we smashed everyone at Cycling in the Olympics and a British rider won the Tour de France for first time. Good article on him here http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/inside-the-mind-of-dave-brailsford-2615

This is why when Martinez goes on about small margins it drives me mad because he doesn't work on every aspect of the game which can give you those small margins, set pieces being the most obvious example.

Noticed Graham Jones having a bit of an input with the press this week, think that's a first ?

It's just more of Martinez excuses getting said by him now ! They're trying to look right when we all know they're wrong, both saying black us fans saying white and the colour is actually white if you know what I mean

Was wondering if he was getting his hand in like, to take over for a few weeks when
Marinez gets the bullet. ?

Reckon they come as a pair to be honest, can't see him sticking around once Roberto gets the chop.

For some reason I blanked that AVB was on that list, aye he'd be my first choice out of them 4, I am a fan. I'd still take Howe ahead of most of them.

Yeah I actually think you could be right they're but wouldn't surprise if Martinez has put him up to it too To back him up , they both work together with the tactics and subs could be wrong u know ,

Does happen tho, just thought it a bit strange like, but you are most probably right..

Howe? Oh lord. we want or I want someone who wins things consistently at a managerial level

They all start somewhere...

 

[Damo W]

Who ever it may be and I would like one of AVB, FDB or Jose. They need to be in place from the end of May at the latest. As their first task will be to make sure our top talent don't leave then to have a good run at new bodies for pre season.

 

[bag a yoko]

Yeah. But why would we want a manager who is starting out? We can afford one who's actually learnt his trade. I'd take Fabio Capello over some sharp dressed, handsome smooth talker.
