Next manager?

[clash city rocker]

A few names appeal to me and others don't but this manager business is a strange thing. Prior to his appointment if someone had said to me Southgate I would have said no thanks...yet their he is now manager of England.....It,s a funny old game

[Malandro]

If we are looking for an experienced coat is Kenny Jackett available?

Unavailable. Paul Parker is.


Darn done.

TSM 3 - Angus Mcoatup

Faria is another novice. No thanks.

Novice? You obviously haven't done your homework. Terry and Henry are the novices, Faria has played a major part in success of Mourinho. Whoever we bring in will be a risk but Faria would most certainly be on my shortlist.

Clubs managed: zero. He's a novice.

Not as much experience as your man, Bruce.

No Jacket Required?

It’s gonna be Phil Collins isn’t it?

I appreciate that and wouldn't want either, as while Faria has a lot of experience as a coat

He taught Mourinho how to parka the bus.

Serves me right for posting while serving dinner!

He's not my man.

Phil Collins might keep McCormack away from Greig's and off the Schubert but I can't see him getting a tune out of the squad.
But I do like the sound of Wagner.
Perhaps Purcell,he'll get you clean sheets

Just read that Ranieri has managed 17  clubs !!
At least he ticks the " experienced box"

I thought Wolves were stupid appointing Nuno, who I had never heard of.

Sooner or later we have to get lucky. It doesn't happen very often at Villa, in my time only Saunders, GT1, BFR, Little and MON* have been good appointments. We are due some luck surely.

*Yeah it didn't work out well in the end, but was great for a few years.

For any of the newbie group, it all comes down to how good the 2 people either side of them are. Henry may be a tactical genius or a brilliant coach, and the managers he has played under and coached with are certainly footballing types, but the assistant manager and the sporting director being right will allow him to do the job. Same for Terry etc.. A good coaching team and sporting director all pulling in the same direction should allow whoever gets it to thrive, no matter their experience.

Chuck Blazer has a lot of form.

[Brend'Watkins]

We just need a manager who can do Debussyness.

I think this is one of the reasons that Dean Smith has been so good at that there Brentford, as was Mark Warburton as they have all the right people in the right places.
