Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[PaulWinch again]

All hype and style over substance - just like Bielsa was fawned over after achieving next to fuck all in the game

Delivering CL football to Spurs 4 out of the 5 seasons he was there was no mean achievement.

Indeed and the Bielsa thing just isn’t accurate either.

It will be wayne rooney wont it

Ha ha, made me laugh.

In a 'or cry' manner.

Exactly - at least he might pick up some of the players wages

Poch is an incredible manager. All hail the man from Murphy!

[CT Villan]

This Joachim Low...

No thanks !

We should be going all out for Poch.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

On that list is Stankovic, Dejan who played in midfield for Lazio and Inter?

[N'ZMAV]

I'd love Bielsa

Delivering CL football to Spurs 4 out of the 5 seasons he was there was no mean achievement.

Getting Southampton up top 8th was an even greater achievement.

He also got Spurs to finish second in the league on 86 points, the year after Leicester won it with 81. (Man City won the league with 86 points in 20-21, for comparison).  But on the other hand, he did inherit a solid top 6 side at Spurs, one that had finished in the top four twice in the previous five seasons.  And the Southampton team he left in 8th place, then went on to finish 7th and 6th under Koeman.  So I guess you can find something to support your position whether you rate him, or not!

Well there's more than enough evidence to dump Gerrard immediately if Poch was interested. Tuchel the same.

I was against Gerrard from the start as I didn't think his CV warranted any PL job. It still doesn't.

[Rigadon]

Of the names mentioned above, Im' sure a good few of them would do a better job than Gerrard.  But only Pochettino and Tuchel (so long as he fucked that stupid cap off) would be exciting upgrades and relatively safe gambles.  Bielsa might be 'fun' but is now forever tainted with Dirty Leeds.

That Low video is a really uncomfortable watch. What the actual fuck is he doing??? Bizarre. 🤯

Gerrard pulls his tactics out of his arse at times

[dr.chekov]

Zidane is my favourite non-Villa player ever, so based on little except that (and 3 European cup wins as a manager obvs) I’d want him. Would make the McGinn song a bit jarring mind.

[Londonvilla]

If SG goes it will be in part due to the fact that he is happy to see McGinn drop back and cover the full-back and not play as a wide forward or a number 10.

McGinn has scored 14 goals and assisted a further six in his 35 games for Scotland

I think Bielsa would be a great appointment, but like someone else on here said it'd be caveated with expecting to replace him in summer 2024.

Think Bielsa is a little old now and would be difficult to replicate what he did at Leeds here, especially mid season.

If you want a younger version of Bielsa then Jorge Sampaoli is your man. Done very good jobs at Sevilla and Marseille in europe and worked with Kamara last season.

Only failed as Argentina manager in his career so far considering he pushed Chile on to last 16 at world cup in 2014.
