Next manager?

[SoccerHQ]

If Henry is going to Monaco, what is Jardim like?

Great manager imo. Monaco are just on one of their downward curves form selling all their good players last two years. He won them the title ahead of PSG and of course guided them to CL semi finals the same year.

Most interesting thing about him is he adapts his style to what the teams strengths are. His early couple of seasons Monaco were low scoring and kept loads of clean sheets, not the greatest to watch but that all changed when likes of Lemar and Mbappe came through and they were arguably most exciting team to watch in europe that season when it all clicked.

As you can tell I'm a fan and think he'd do very well in England. In an ideal world we'd get promoted and then appoint him which would be a real coup.

Like most of the bigger names touted I just can't see him dropping into the championship but then again Nuno managed Porto and Valencia in the CL and was happy enough to work down here as is Bielsa so if the long term project is tempting enough who knows...

For me it’s down to 3 possible scenarios all involving John Terry

1. It’s Faria as head coach with John Terry as assistant manager

2. It’s John Terry as head coach with Faria as assistant manager

3. It’s Brendan Rodgers as head coach with John Terry as assistant manager

I could stomach Ranieri as head coach with Terry as assistant

Rule out number  2 scenario. I read Faria's interview in the Times and he specifically said he wouldn't be assistant to anyone but Mourinho so he'll only go back into football as the head coach/manager.

What do we know so far, nothing, and that's the way it should be. The journo's are doing what they always do when there's no news they make it up. For me Ranieri and Terry combo looks good but really all I want is a manager that plays to win rather than plays not to lose.

Rodgers or Smith would feel right.

How come every option has to involve John effing Terry? He'd be lucky to get into the top 20 centre-backs I've seen play for us. Perhaps if we filtered it down to the top ten who played for us for one unsuccessful season in the second division...

McGrath was better. That's about it.

Rogers and hammerstein for me.

[JUAN PABLO]

José Leonardo Nunes Alves Sousa Jardim

we would get Paulo Sousa free then and the wolves manager thrown in

McGrath was better. That's about it.

For us? No chance.

I don’t get why that’s farcical really. Maybe he hasn’t made a decision yet? And if he hasn’t been offered a job why does he need to tell us anything?

Couldn't agree more!! I really don't get it. There is no evidence whatsoever that he will be a good coach, assistant manager or manager, so I don't understand why all these little stories seem to revolve around him. I'd rather someone that knows what they are doing.

I'm pretty sure our board will have a lot more sense than bark up this tree. I'd hope 'has a coaching qualification' is the first requirement when it comes to hiring coaches, let alone the guy in charge of dragging us out of this mess.

This is some bizarre revisionism, here. Terry had a good season, but he wasn't even the best centre-half at the club.

At his best, for Chelsea, he'd be up there with McGrath.

To suggest that he played better for us, at the tail end of his career, than Southgate, Ehiogu, Laursen or Mellberg did in their prime is nonsense.

He would be below Collins and Dunne too, based on one good season each. They were an excellent partnership before turning into twats as soon as MON left.

He's saying we're waiting on him
