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

[Eggs]

....I hear the words 'risk' and 'gamble' repeatedly used but the fact is that virtually any recruitment comes with a risk factor. It's so difficult to suggest anybody with certainty in a role which inevitably sees candidates stock rise and then fall so rapidly.

I don't know who I'd prefer, I really don't.

The nearest other contender is Southampton manager Ronald Koeman, who Betfair rate as 3/1 - but a spokesman for Boylesports went as far to say O'Neill is "nailed on."

Not really. He got knocked out of the CL playoffs by Rapid Wien, scraped past FK Jablonek (??) 1-0 on aggregate in the Europa qualifiers, then came 3rd in the Europa group. 1st and 2nd were Molde and Fenerbahce. That was this season. Last season did better but got knocked out of Europa by Dnipro. Season before he got bummed out of the Europa 6-1 on aggregate by RB Salzburg.

None of those are in a financially different class to Ajax.

Haha sorry it sounds like I have a massive vendetta - I just have large reservations.

Edit: @Hong Kong Phooey - I guess it depends which results you look at.

When he won the CL for Bayern, Guardiola had taken over when they were already in the knockout stages. The next season, they were humiliated in the semi-finals with a 0-4 home defeat in the semi-finals. This year they had to overturn a 1-3 first leg deficit to an average Porto side that are third in their own league, 15 points adrift of the leaders. That was desperate, and they could easily have been knocked out at the quarter-final stage.

The reason I'm making these illustrations is because Guardiola is the best, and even the best can be criticised for anything, or questioned. I am very excited at the prospect of De Boer mate!

You cant have a go at De Boers euro record, considering weve been in it, 2-3 times in 10 years and had a 5 goal spanking all 3 times.

Mourinho would be perfect even for a season as wed loss the *plucky little Everton* tag weve had for years, we'd stop being a joke team to the papers and bookies(martin o'neill as fav seriously?) Mourinho would put us on the map.

Pello a good manager but with City it seems that all their stars turn up or non do, they either win 3-0, 4-0 or draw. Doesnt seem to be a middle ground with them, Citys last 5 signs have been terrible except for kev De.

1.Mourinho
2.Simone(no chance)
3.Lowe(highly unlikely)

What are you talking about mate?

Guardiola has never won the CL at Bayern, he also never took over part way through a season at Bayern

Like with the City job - he was announced around January as taking over Bayern - but started the job in the Summer, also makes me wonder just how much of Guardiola doing that back to back times was trying to scupper the manager he was taking over from so they'd fail and pep comes in to instant improvements

Also Guardiola is the best? nah not having it, Mourinho has done more and a few others have matched what Guardiola has done

Barcelona tremendous job - mainly in Europe that it stands out
Bayern - won a one team league 3 times - having taking over the team that had just won the German double and CL the season before, what top level manager wouldn't have matched what he has done at Bayern the past 3 years though? - Bayern the season before under Hynkes actually where bloody brilliant and far more exciting a team to watch that any Guardiola team has been as well

I don't think pellegrini has ever bought a single player for city...

The barca guys above him do all the transfers.

I think you are right but who selects Navas , DeMichelis and Toure ?

Toure was already there.

Demichelis and Caballero played for him at Malaga so assume he had some say in those two.
