I don't see what's inspiring about Faria.

[Sexual Ealing]

I hadn't realised that the Henry Winter interview that RCF linked to earlier in this thread was so recent. This is going to be the chap, I think.

Not sure what to make of it, if he is. I'll take him over Bruce all day long, however.

I'm not sure I do either. Can't think of too many long-time assistants to a big dog going on to do well on their own.

[garyshawsknee]

de la Ney might be available.

We approached De La Soul. They say no go.

Don't even think about it.

[BFKlovesKFC]

Darren Moore anyone?

Always like Dazza. Would definitely a popular choice, very attack minded and organised.

I don't mind taking a chance on a newby if he looks like he's got what it takes

my problem with Faria is he's only ever been with Mourinho a winner in the past but with dour stealth football, I just hope he's not going to try and replicate that style or we'll be back to watching paint dry

Never liked him. Always seemed to act even more of a petulant child than Mourinho on the touchline when having a go at refs.

Mourinho proteges in the championship recently. Barnsley appointed a guy called Jose Morais who was also a long server under Mourinho last February. Were in the bottom 3 when he took over, remained in the bottom 3 when he was sacked despite SHA giving them chance after chance to overtake them.

Guess Karanka has done fine at this level but to echo John his teams play incredibly boring football so not a good sign.

Mark Delaney's U23s have just beaten Brizzle 8-0.Only watched last 15 mins but pass ,move and support play was excellent.Evidence of good coaching.

He's been invovled with our youth teams for quite a while hasn't he after his early retirement?

Would've been nice if maybe he'd got the caretaker gig ahead of McDonald perhaps just to give him something to work towards in the future.

[itmustbe_it is!]

Odds swinging wildly - odds on favourites today have been Moyes, then Faria now Henry again 4-6

Suggests they dont really have a sccoby

I would have liked Delaney in charge for tomorrows game, possibly cos the time when MON left and we had won first game at VP with the departing James Milner brilliant , we then went to Newcastle. I was in Turkey with lots of friends. Big group of us going up to watch the game in hotel and little bluenose lad came shouting you are 2-0 down Tone. The game had only just kicked off so I said yeh right Ryan. Got into the bar and it was 3-0 and we lost 6-0. Came down to dinner and they had 6 pints of beer for me (it was free, the bluenoses weren't paying)

That 6-0 was horrible. I remember listening to it on the radio while painting still depressed at our prospects for that season. Little did any of us know it was the start of the downward spiral!

The correct answer.
No one does.

[SoccerHQ]

Would've been completely different if Carew hadn't hit his penalty towards Scotland.

I agree though losing 6-0 to what was a newly promoted team was shocking and cost Mac the job as I really think the board were going to give it to him but that and then going out to Vienna four days later completely changed the thinking.

He picked up 7 points from 15 from that run of games so not awful. Disliked the team he picked for that Spurs away game and pretty much panning all our foreign players at the time last caretaker game he got though.

Terry, Henry, Faria, Arteta, no thank you.

Whilst not sure about Faria myeself I think it’s a bit unfair to lump him with the other 3. He has been a fully qualified coach for a while now and has been working at major clubs. Terry and Henry are just Marquee names and we would do well to avoid them. Arteta has been going about it the right way but still would be a big gamble.

Thanks mate. I am waiting for the phone call. I have great references and a far better CV than Dwight Yorke.
