Next Manager (Poll)

[Goat]

In my more quiet reflective moments, I often think about what drives these elite coaches. Like, it aint cash. So that leaves glory. And then based on nowt but how my life panned out, I can build a narrative that might see an elite coach thinking "Why not?"

Hear me out. Its international week after all. In my working life, whilst appearing immodest, I was by most statistics one of the best in the country. I know, hard to believe, but its true. The financial rewards were significant. I was rewarded on top of big money with free holidays in Dubai, Cannes, Barbados, and South Africa. But as time moved on, it became boring. I knew I was good, I didnt need anyone to tell me, and after a while, the financial incentive became less interesting. Didnt need that much any more basically.

So I jacked it in. Got a van, and now happily deliver parcels of crap round Portishead.

So back to elite coaches. The accusation against them all is always, "But can they do it at a different level?" Or perhaps to rephrase, they have had the glory, they have the wealth, but do they have the hunger or desire to try sommet new?

No mate.

These elite coaches want the glory, theres no glory at Everton, only misery.

Like I said, quiet reflective moments. But me and Jose are similar ages, similar stage of life, (kids etc) as far as I know. Maybe thats where the similarities end, and all he wants is the high end nitro fix that only managing a United or RM can provide.

Or maybe not. Its a narrative, at least.

Maybe you could put a word in for Jose with Yodel

If he wanted a less stressful job with no pressure he could go China or International footy.

Jose wants to be noticed, hes not doing Sky for the money.

I'm wondering who will be our next manager when the next one is sacked in a year or so?

Sacking clubs' who perenially win nothing aren't that attractive except to mercenaries (if it pays well)

Jose Gomes has been let go by Reading. He's Portuguese so surely he'd be in with a shout.
On the subject of Mourinho, to underline my earlier comment, by all accounts he's waiting for Pochettino to depart Spurs and ready to take that vacant post.

Aye. Needs to have a Roydo "F it" moment basically.

Then knowing our luck, he will lease a flaming van.

He wont be getting a van anytime soon.

He would be rubbish at the delivery game anyrate.

*makes me feel validated*

For a minute there I thougt it said 'ev' in the corner

Spurs, Pochs favourite for the United job too. All will work out lovely for them and we'll get Moyes

*Sad noises*

Saying that, loads of Arsenal fans online seem convinced he's going there. Don't get that one

Seen Emery getting a ton of stick recently because they’re playing poorly.

I’d take their poor performances and results gladly.

For sure... If that did happen I'd definitely say he's attainable for us
