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

[Connor]

Some absolutely dreadful choices.

Sampanoli? Villas Boas? Come on ffs.

DAVID O'LEARY NEEDS A JOB.

 

[Dymak]

Unai Emery for me. He's out of contract in the summer too. Bringing in Eddie Howe would show no ambition at all, he's the type of manager we would have been looking to bring in back in March 2002.

I would have liked to seen Guillermo Barros Schelotto. Argentine legend.

He would have brought ALL the Argentinians with him. Higuain brothers. Messi. Strac.

 

[oliverwri]

Lucien Favre would be an amazing appointment, really really want him.

 

[Dymak]

Would only want Roberto moving on if an outstanding candidate flashed his knickers at us, the way Klopp did with the RS. I'd put Bielsa in that category, and presumably he'd consider it if he held talks with Swansea, but none of the other options listed do it for me. Though I honestly would take either Moyes or Benitez just for the laughs.

Martinez has built a squad we could only have dreamt of under Moyes. Players like Lukaku and Deulofeu did not consider signing for Moyes' Everton. 'Berto doesn't seem to be able to get them winning often enough, but I'm up for showing some of that oft-lauded but seldom-practiced patience to see if Martinez can learn from the mistakes he's making and eventually get more from our ostensibly excellent squad.

That said - I would like a bit more honesty from him in interviews. It's buried deep in the vaults but I specifcally remember posting on here in his first season when everyone was windmilling about how 'positive' Martinez was that we'd all change our tune when he was still using all the propaganda phrases in the midst of a slump in form. And so it has come to pass.

Yeah, Moyes was only capable of attracting absolute crap players like Arteta, Fellaini, Cahill, Yakubu, Lescott, Jagielka, Stones, Coleman , Pienaar and Mirallas.

Didn't Riquelme once say he wanted to get into management?

.......it's back on, lads.

 

[Walter Ego]

I voted Jose Mourinho. I hope no neutrals see this because how they will and they will be right to do so.

 

[sageyefc]

5 votes for Rafael

 

[Walter Ego]

Silly poll btw putting Benitez up there so RS can come on and vote for him. What blue would want that clown anywhere near the place.

 

[Cels]

Let's get Roy Keane in.

 

[ToyFish]

Jose. I remember him saying he would never mange the rs. So first order of business after the takeover is appoint Jose, that's us sorted for 2 years

 

[sixtynineseventy]

Rafael! A pint of your finest bleach please bar man...

 

[Abertonian]

De Boer or Cocu for me. Both have built successful young sides and learnt to cope with big players going. European experience as players and managers a bonus.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Just buy Ranieri.

 

[Bluekahunaburgers]

Anyone suggesting the FSW are either on a wind up or have short memories. I wouldn't take a slash on him if he was on fire.
