Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[in exile]

Based on what has come out today he cannot make it past tomorrow.

What's that then, have missed most of today.

In short, we have an interview with Sky where he tells them he is bored having to watch us and that the players won't play as he tells them to.

We also have his mate who is chairman at Swindon having a swing on his behalf on Talk Shite about how he wasn't allowed to sign 3 or 4 players he wanted and that some of those that did come in were foisted on him.

So it's everybody's fault but his own...f**k him off asap

Did I miss Juan Pablo's ITK update today ?

Did I miss Juan Pablo's ITK update today ?

Me an' all. I think we all did.

I fairness, I got a whisper yesterday that the game was up today and fuck all has been announced. I wonder if the media from today has made a difference and there are rather fraught negotiations taking place?

Cut it however you want but his position is now the very definition of untenable.

Alex McLiesh was on £2 million per year more than Rodgers. Think on that.

Biesla for me.  Give this a read:  http://8by8mag.com/el-loco/

I'd love Bielsa.  It'd be crazy.
In an ideal world he'd bring one of his disciples - mentioned in the article - with him to step in after the seemingly inevitable exhaustion.
He would be the ideal guy to identify and build our footballing philosophy.  We just might need some peacemakers to make it sustainable.

So you want to appoint a 60 year old eccentric who has never managed in the premier league, has limited experience as a manager in major european leagues and has never won anything. Whats the attraction?

[Legion]

He's not Sherwood.

Well the top managers - Guardiola, Klopp etc - all say that he changed the whole sport. Or, we could go with a dour Scottish defence-mongerer (sound familiar?) whose had as bad a start to the season with a club very much like us in Spain - and has never won anything.

I don't know enough about Bielsa to know if i'd want him or not, apart from he's not Sherwood. But does anyone know if he can speak English?*

*No Lambert related jokes!

Here's another article on Bielsa
http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/apr/10/marcelo-bielsa-west-ham-marseille

This line "Above all it would simply be great fun and a deliciously counter-intuitive move for the league that doesn’t think" [for West Ham to appoint Bielsa] sums up the 'something different' approach he would represent.

[cheltenhamlion]

Bielsa is that bat shit mental he would be perfect for us. I genuinely believe he would be a great fit. It won't be him though.

Come on here to have a look to see if he has gone or that he was on the verge and Ancelotti has taken over....this situation is not giving me 'lols'.

After having Mc Leish, O'Neill, Lambert and Sherwood, really is there someone that has any objection on one of the most influential manager in the world, commonly considered as a genius?
And just because he does not know the Premier League? I obviously love the Premier League, but I can not help notice that it is the sole and only big championship in the world where tactics have zero importance and  where every incompetent can suddenly claim  to be a coach and actually coach  a big club (see Lambert and Sherwood). In this PL the level of tactics is so low than even a bloke like Claudio Ranieri, that is nothing more than an honest old-school coach (although pleasant), is shining like a new Pep Guardiola!  And  we should have doubts on Marcelo Bielsa? C'est de la folie....

[Ger Regan]

The only downside of bielsa that I can immediately see is the amount of time he normally spends at any club. If he got us playing like his bilbao team, I wouldn't complain, mind.
