Next manager discussion (poll reset 21/05/2016)

Your forgetting a big thing mate, board expectations, at Sevilla the remit seems to be qualify for Europe and try win a cup, not challenge for the league or CL season in and out. In that regard he definitely DOES prioritise the Cup competitions - and rightly so, he keepts them competitive in the league to ensure Europe each year, but rather than throwing everything into the league games late season - they deliberately rest the squad (A LOT) to keep them fresh in europe - and it works

Pretty sure that had Sevilla just jibbed off the EL and cup comps each seaosn then they would have been regularly fighting it out for that 4th spot in the league, the manger and board seem to think the best route to their goals are via europe though, and have to say they appear correct

Aye, to be honest on the thread with his name i said i was probably being a little harsh on him. I probably still am to be honest.

He has a good record, players seem to play well for him and he is flexible (from what i have seen). Just something about it not making me jump through the roof with excitement, which is silly considering people who have much better connections in football then me rate him massively. Just can't put my finger on it.

I had a fiver on Pellegrini at 12/1 the day Martinez got sacked...would rather Emery tbh but wouldn't say no to £60

No offence mate but I hope you lose your money.

Said two weeks ago that Emery will be in Real/Barca radar

Blues on here were questioning his credentials

 

[bullensboy]

After The Esks latest posts we all jumped to the opinion he was talking about Emery.

He didnt correct this assumption did he ?

He signed Nzonzi - i always liked him good tackler and can play a bit too, good shot as well, wouldn't be disappointed if he brought him with him ( if he came himself of course)

Not a chance, if i seen that massive donkey in our team id be gutted. Hated him at Blackburn, then stoke.

Hope it's just paper rubbish talk...

almost identical to the stories that got ran last season just before the EL final linking him to Madrid if he won - instead of benetez mate

Unai Emery to the tune of 'Evergreen'....


...no, sorry, had a 'mare there.

Real Madrid made a pretty good recovery in the second half of the season under Zidane to keep Barca on their toes. I think some papers mentioned a few weeks ago that Zidane's job was safe, so this seems a non-story.

Esk or.... Sorry pages move so fast hard to keep up

Yes esk

As it is apparent that no one wants the job, I think it's time we look at the undead for our next appointment. I'd love Dracula on our sidelines, turning into a bat every time we score and sinking his teeth into Klopp at Anfield. We could demolish the St. Lukes and replace it with a gothic chamber where our new man can rest his ancient soul on a solid marble slab between matches.

Anybody remember the "ooh Roy Wegerle" chant that QPR did? (Just me then) That would suit Unai Emery perfectly

Unai Emery
Unai Emery
Unai Emery
Ooh!

I'm delighted that Koeman is becoming less and less likely. I don't personally put him in the top bracket of managers, and I doubt he'd have the ability to tempt our stars to stay.

Emery is 100% my top choice, to do what he's done in the Europa League is nothing short of amazing and this is without his previous credentials with Valencia. Considering his age he should be the one we go all out for.

Otherwise my second choice would be Pellegrini. He's slated often in this thread but his career as a whole is very impressive and he's easily the better choice over RK.

Third choice is FDB as he clearly wants the job and I think he would be worth a punt if we fail with our top targets.

A huge factor is who we pick as our DOF. As much as I love JR he's not the man for the role of scouting the world for talent, he should be involved at some level within the club though. Our DOF needs to be someone like who Sevilla has - maybe we can bring him with Emery?

Echo confirming that Koeman hopes are fading. Koeman playing it safe, waiting for his dream job, sounds like the 'Dutch Moyes' might be correct. Moving forward the list would appear to be narrowing...

Would be really surprised if Arsenal/Wenger go for Koeman to follow Wenger.

After that Granada news bird Used the word 'interesting' it could be ZZ, I don't think interesting would be the word to describe emery or Diego (pipe dream I know)
