What do I know mate out of Martinez , Rodgers & lambert I liked lambert and he's not exactly setting the world alight although he's working under a lot of restrictions wages wise that are still relatively in house .
Not even a season in laudrup looks a prospect and I quite like poyet and his style to be honest . I don't rate Martinez but Iive hear people well connected at Wigan be less than complimentary about him , surprisingly I suppose. If he wasn't an ex RS I'm told hypia is massively highly rated but I'd be amazed if we went abroad as a club .
I think it's just so difficult like I say it's timing , Derek Mcinnes last year was being talked of as the most innovative and talented coach around and less than a year later he's had the bullet from Bristol and I hear similar stuff about Steve Clarke but again it seems way to early to judge.
I think we underestimate the pull the club will have given the quality of the squad , our league standing & wages available however given the success of moyes I think kenwright would look at a talented young comer although when moyes was close to leaving last time Hughes was in the list (he was disillusioned at city by the Thai cowboy and the porential huge financial issues there ).
All that basically says I have absolutely no idea so I'll be waiting to see what happens and whose the flavour of the monthly moyes moves on.
I wonder if Moyes hadn't even existed, who we would have ended up with?
Well known that it would have been Megson.
Sorry mate yeah it's one of my regularly posted opinions but I do think it's accurate .
By the way I think that's a very decent post , I'm not sure about Martinez's decision as I'm not convinced he's just not bottled it. I'm told he told the RS last summer to make a decision on Dalglish because villa wanted him then 'ummed & ahhed ' and at the last minute even batted his eyelashes at villa again before disappearing again.
Laudrup's playing history and his general demeanour plus later face it a potential trophy in his first season certainly pushes him forward and for all my opinion of Martinez if they get passed us (or Oldham ) and make the final he'll almost certainly by flying up short lists .
I'll say it again look at moyes cv before he came here , look at the cv's of an array of managers available at that time and how considerably more 'qualified' they seem than moyes. So there has to be a huge element of good fortune in there .
Sheeds, what's your gut feeling with Moyes?
Is it really? or are you teasing me?
No, it's well known he was our first choice and then walter smith took kenwright aside and said actually this kid Moyes is better.
who was our last foreign manager?
