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

I can see it now .......... Bournemouth giving us a schooling in attacking football as they tonk us 0-3.

Roll forward to mid May and there is Bill saying: "Eddie had a perfect audition".

You heard it here first

 

[Eggs]

....I genuinely don't have a preference, it's such a major decision and I'm sure Moshiri will have his best recruitment team analysing the contenders and consulting the experts. I think we need to be patient and trust that plenty is going on behind the scenes to bring the right man in.

 

[Wat Tyler]

One thing that baffles me about Pellegrini is going into the season in four competitions with 2 strikers, one of which is injury prone, Iheanacho was an unknown at start of season, they had Aguero and Bony, he never replaced Dzeko and Jovetic.

With the resources he has he should be winning every season + if Peps appointment derailed their season then how has he got them into the champs league semis?

Awful signings and i posted on here a link to the guardian online a couple of weeks ago with a couple of their fans commenting that he was awful...cant remember all the reasons but they said that he wasnt doing well before the announcement + poor transfers+ players out of position + playing Bony ahead of Kelechi inehacho (sp!) And other youngsters werent given a look in + a few more things....

If it was me, and were looking at someone 62 years old then i'd rather go for Del Bosque at 65

OK mate using that benchmark

With the resources De Boer has in Holland he should win the title every year - he hasn't thus he is a failiure
With the resources Mourinho has had at Chelsea first time and Madrid he should have won the league every year, he didn't - and he didn't win anything in europe either - thus a failiure
Guardiola should have won the league every year in germany by a mile and should be winning european trophies every season really - he hasnt so a failiure


Wasn't doing well before the announcment - City where 3 points off the top when they annoucned Guardiola mate, and their form dipped badly afterwards, it's picked up now ofc but it had a 100% noticable negative effect ont he team - and as for why are they in the CL still then, for the QF they had started to recover and play well again and against Kiev they beat them whilst still not playing very well - just that Kiev where so far below them they could get awya with it.


City fans wouldn't know a good ,manager if they had him mate, they are a spoilt brat of a fanbase by and large the ones who post on the internet are at least, they are criticising the bets manager they ever have had by the way - because pelligrini is definitely that

Rather look at this is the same manager who bought a 19yo Isco and made him a starter, brought a 18yo Cazorla into the villareal first team and made him a core player for them, who turned forlan from a united reject at 24 into the top scorer in spain and the CL the following season or who built a team around riquelme and got the best out of journeyman and young players

Ineahacho has played a part in 31 games this season mate, Bony in 32, could he have brought him on faster - possibly, but you can argue that maybe the last 6 months he has improved and is now ready and the manger is timing it perfectly for his development.

But by all means you may think the bloke who made Isco and Cazorla when they were still in their teens isn't very good at judging young players and bringing them along correctly

You would honestly rather have a manager who ahs won 4 titles in Holland with by far the bets team in the country and done absolutely nothing else, than have a man who ahs reaxched the QF of europe 5 times and the SF twice with three seperate teams?

Was he allowed to?

 

[Goat]

Was he allowed to?

Are you suggesting City would refuse to spend money?

 

[bluegirl]

Leon Knight, yes Leon Knight has broken the news that Martinez has been sacked on Twitter

 

[Joey66]

Eddie Howe being muted FGS, we need a top international manager not a nearly man like the last two managers,
Our billionaire needs to trust the money will be spent well - not on the last player we signed 13 million in Jan and has barely kicked a ball!

 

[bluegirl]

My targets in order would be:

1. Mourinho
2. De Boer
3. Koeman
4. Pellegrini
5. Cocu (only because I know nothing about him)

Not really interested in any of the others listed.

 

[savillesu11s]

Wishlist:
Simeone
Mourinho
Bielsa
Favre
Howe

I don't know why people are so averse to the idea of Eddie Howe. Klopp and Tuchel both joined Dortmund from Mainz, and I can't be bothered thinking of any other examples to support my thesis but there's method in the madness. BIELSA

Why would you target a manager you know nothing about

Him using Ihenacho rather than spunking millions on someone who would only be backup to Aguero is a big plus, tbh.

Who's Leon Knight?. Sauced?.

 

[tsubaki]

Bielsa would be a bad, bad appointment. He does educate future coaches, but that is as much down to them learning from his bad examples as it is them learning from his good ones - his time at Athletic (where he started well but fell out with everyone by the end and wrecked the best squad they have had in ages) being a case in point.
