Manager suggestions - Now with added poll

[Damo70]

OK.  My opinion is that simply that some are more risky than others.

Absolutely. But in my opinion "being a bit foreign" isn't the thing that defines that risk.

'A bit foreign' could be classed as being Scottish. Which for our club is definitely a risk.

What happened to the guy St Ettienne had that was linked with us before? He looked like he was doing a decent job there and would have been a better choice than Garde, indeed I read somewhere he turned it down before Garde took it on.

Christophe Gaultier - left St Etienne at the end of the season and Garcia took over.

Dean Smith would be bang average. I like him, obviously, for obvious reasons, but not much about his record to suggest he'd cut it.

Is Laudrup seen as a bit too dodgy now? He left Swansea in odd circumstances with talk his agent was influencing things too much but his record was pretty good there and he'd certainly play decent football.

[ozzjim]

He seemed to get the same accusation as DiMatteo in being aloof and not there very often. Although he seemed to not get on very well with Monk either. Who then became manager. Odd one, but seemed a decent manager results wise. Did he or Monk take Pep Clotet there as a coach. He seems to be growing a very quick rep at Oxford.

[SoccerHQ]

Pep Clotet met Garry Monk at one of the coaching courses I think, he's one to watch certainly. Oxford will finish top 6 this year.

[ozzjim]

He looks a bit like Wagner to me Soccer. Ie worth getting before it's too late.

We'd probably fuck that up and get Brian.

I like Clotet. A Bielsa protégé.

I'm in.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

What I find strange (yet again) is apparently we previously went after Garcia, as we went after Wagner but ended up with Bruce.

Over to you, Mr Wyness?

Me to
that type of ridiculousness has been going on for some time mind, the previous owner did exactly the same

[Matt Collins]

It's almost as if, when you're in division two and part way trough a season, there's such a limited pool of managers to pick from that it's hard to pick your philosophy and then a manager to suit
