Because he is out of work and has burned his bridges at top level clubs.

So he will stoop to a mid table/bottom half of table prem team who have achieved nothing in 25 years. Don’t think so. There’s showing ambition (which we never do anyway) and then there’s being deluded.
 
I’m really struggling with why so many are fixated with wanting Arteta, to me it seems based on sentimentality and delusional thinking that Pep’s magic will somehow make him a good manager

I’m the same, we’re dismissing managers with solid records for a manager with no experience but just happens to work with Guardiola and has the best squad of players in the world at his disposal.

Not one part of working with Guardiola and City will help him if he came here.

he's currently sat on his arse with cretins like Jamie Redknapp. As a city fan said to me in the pub yesterday... "why wouldn't Mourinho take the Everton job? Huge club and big profile"

Seems other clubs fans regard us higher than some Evertonians
 
How come? What's sold you on him? (Not against it, genuinely curious)


For me, the future of managers is young expansive attacking managers.

Obviously at 49, he's not necessarily young, but his approach at RB Salzburg turned heads, he then moved onto Young Boys, in a league monopolised by Basel for the last 20 years, and he made them champions for the first time in 30 years.

He went to Frankfurt, and he signed young, attacking flair-like players, and he's basically making Eintracht a force again. Beat Bayern and won the cup, their first trophy for 30 years and he's developed some really quite good attacking players. Haller, Jovic etc... that's what we need. A manager who isn't afraid to go at big teams, is attacking orientated and Eintracht play some really nice stuff.

The likes of him, Nagelsmann at Leipzig etc are the people we should be going for.
 

Gallardo owns South America. He's won everything. It holds no more challenges for him so Europe beckons.

Welcome to Eberton Marcelo Gallardo
Absolutely, the guy is a stone cold killer, an absolute winner through and through.

Get it done Brands
Of the ones grounded even a little tiny bit in reality I'd like if we made a push for Gallardo soon because I think he's in our range for now but will not be if River win the Libertadores again.

I'd have Dean Smith before any of the PL managers listed. I think Villa play really good stuff and are mostly held back by having some really poor options on the wings. Honestly Iwobi and Richarlison in his system could be quite good.
So they say but it’s a long time since Barca sacked a coach during the season. I’d say barring disaster Valverde will be in place for the season

Has to be Gallardo as 1st choice especially as were bringing in South American talent.

Hed be my first choice by a huge distance.

Others there like Mourinho and Ten Hag i think are attainable because of their current situations...but why bother if we could get Gallardo.

I want Silva to be given more time but clearly if we could attract Gallardo its quite clear what we need to do.

Yeah agree about young, expansive attacking managers and I have heard and read good things about Hutter. A manager like that with that style of play is the sort that quickly get the fans falling in love with them too. We've unfortunately seen an example of it at the RS. I rate Marco Rose for similar reasons and he's currently top of the Bundesliga (had an awful performance in Europe a few weeks ago though...).

Not seen too much of Frankfurt lately but I'll take yours (and others) word on how nice the football is. And if he is doing that well, don't see why he shouldn't be under consideration should Silva be sacked.
 

The big worry for me is that if we wait much longer the potential for a new manager to do something this season vanishes. Look at our Christmas fixture list. We could be in a serious relegation scrap if we replace Silva much later, and that changes the managerial target from someone with a future vision to someone up for a Sam Allardyce rescue mission.
Pretty much spot on this.

Wait till after Xmas and its hello again Fat Sam.

I know 49 isn't young, but he's expansive, and he likes to attack. I think they've failed to score once in 30 games or something. Not sating German total football is the way, but certainly i'd rather have an attack minded manager.

I don't actuall think he'd come here. Frankfurt are on the up and we're really struggling. But you want a manager in that mould, well... i do anyway.

Apparently!

but you’re turning your nose up at Simeone? Incredible.

Never said no, just not convinced he can do it in the Premier league. Obviously done well with AM but will always be a risk

My point was more that there is no sure fire hit on that list. All of them are risks in one way or an other. It's not like the old days when you could pick a wenger or a fergie and know they would transform your teams fortunes

Yeah I agree with you. And honestly, out of styles of football right now, the modern German style is one of the most exciting. Could do a lot worse than a proven manager from that crop of managers imo.
