2018/19 Marco Silva - New Poll Added

[bring the ghost on]

Did well at West Ham, was a mixed bag at Sociedad, with some highlights, and Man Utd has been a poisoned chalice.

I wouldn't say he did well at West Ham, he did okay. They didn't offer him the job, did they? It was a fairly uninspiring relegation scrap, really.

At Sociedad, he was fired and the team were lingering in the relegation spots. That was obviously a disaster.

Obviously, he got Sunderland relegated - difficult circumstances, yes, but it's still on his CV.

He took over Man Utd at a time of huge transition, but he racked up their lowest ever premier league points tally & couldn't even manager a Europa spot with a team which had won the league the previous season.

My main gripe with Moyes is that he doesn't have a winning mentality - he has a surviving mentality. I'll never forget the FA Cup final against Chelsea when we bagged an early goal and then went backs up against the wall for 85 minutes.

 

[Remember-the-name]

Get out of our club.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

I'd rather get stung by a thousand bees

Unsy mate. If you had to choose it would be Rhino. No big manager will be interested. We need a stopgap until the end of the season and Unsy would do that just fine.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Do you seriously think they would come here? Even if they did I think they would struggle, they only take on big jobs that have top top players at the club already.

Yeah. And Ancelotti is a guy who wins stuff as he is quite easy going and helps the top players prepare in a low stress environment. I am but sure that is the approach that would work here

How do people not understand that no managerial appointment is guaranteed success.

Pretty sure everyone gets this?

I despair at the thought

 

[Fansince1988]

To be honest, given how it went last year, I think Rhino’s mental health would be in danger if he was manager full time.

I think you have a good point there, people don't realise how hard this job is, our managers leave looking years older and mentally broken. Look at Martinez and more so Koeman at the end.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

I despair at the thought

Me too.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Apparently not as according to some, if we just appoint Mourinho or go after Simeone, managers with pedigree, then we will be right up there challenging for stuff. Its not as easy as just getting a top manager

At the moment what we need, in my opinion, is for someone who can come in, put a structure in place, get the players hungry and fit and get in a winning habit by beating the teams we should be beating. Moyes would be good at bringing that stability. If he can not then push on, even despite the new resources, then we could get someone else in who could build on the foundations l. We were so close under Bobby, and if we had a better manager we would probably have kicked in and be in Spurs position.

But we didn’t.

I think that’s down to them being third rate managers who crumbled under the pressure of the job. I’ve never seen managers go that way, ever

This is true, however with Sillva there was a good chance based on his prior he was useless.
Least if we go.for someone like Arteta he might not want a massive contract

Did well at West Ham, was a mixed bag at Sociedad, with some highlights, and Man Utd has been a poisoned chalice.

Had less than a 30% win rate at each of his last 3 jobs. Completely finished

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

We are a big club and have the added pressure of having one of the most successful teams in Europe as our cross town rivals. It’s a very appealing job, but also a very difficult job.

Totally and utterly out of his depth last time he tried it.
