bad, bad goal to concede that

Surely Koeman would be the best man for you if/when Martinez goes

Maybe. Take a peek in the Martinez thread for a better idea though.

I'm not just saying it because they are 2-0, I said it months ago, but if I was to pick a manager we could get in this league to come here it would be Koeman, I just think he's a top manager, and he was a world class defender, so he'll make sure that part is sorted first.

He's won loads in Holland, doesn't matter what the leagues are like, he's got experience of managing players to win things.

I'd have him over Pellegrini for sure.

Ajax

• Eredivisie: 2001–02, 2003–04
• KNVB Cup: 2001–02
• Johan Cruijff Shield: 2002

Benfica

• Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira: 2005

PSV

• Eredivisie: 2006–07

Valencia

• Copa del Rey: 2007–08

AZ Alkmaar

• Johan Cruijff Shield: 2009

The most recent thing he won was seven years ago, he got sacked after winning the CdR with Valencia (largely because he took them* from four points off the top in November to two points off the relegation places in April), and that trophy with Benfica is their version of the Charity Shield - which they qualified for by winning the league the season before he was appointed (they finished third** in his season).

We should give him a big swerve.

* they had Villa, Silva, Banega, Raul Albiol, Marchena and Mata in that squad
** in what is a three team league

And yet some lads would be happy with Pellegrini as our next manager.

Love the way Sky had to rapidly mute the Saints crowd when they were serenading City with "you're clucking bit"

Changing my vote even as I type this ..........

Bit unfair.

The managers a dead duck and they have a Semi Final next week, no surprise that the motivation is lacking.

that sounds familiar

Some of their defending over the last few months though, has been Evertonesque.
