Next Manager (Poll)

[jtp0000]

This group of players needs a tough-minded forward thinking manager, in my opinion.

I think Wilder fits the bill.

Otherwise, like most, I favor Arteta.

" tough minded" Well that rules Arteta out then. Quiet, sheepish guy.! Just nods when Guad,s talks to him. Never stands up out of his seat. Come,s over as a Yes Man. AND ! Whats he really done that stands out? Just take a look at him next time City are on the tele.

From BBC Sport's gossip page:
"Lyon have failed with an approach to hire former Chelsea and Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho as their new manager, with the 56-year-old Portuguese determined to secure a return to the Premier League. (Mirror) "

Bet he's keeping his eyes on Poch.

Didn’t mean to insinuate Arteta isn’t tough minded.

You work in politics, eh?

I don’t take the Mourinho votes seriously.

ignoring the results? I might be a politician!

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?

Would you like a job in the States? It doesn't pay particularly well, and you won't get much recognition, and probably you'll be shot by a racist because you "talk funny," but we need a new number cruncher and someone with a fresh approach to getting things done, so just asking like.

Of course he is. Nice shiny new stadium, living in London, higher profile team, wouldn't be seen dead in this far flung impoverished provincial outpost.

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

I’d take their poor performances and results gladly.

If we had Aubameyang we'd be getting their results.

 

[Nymzee]

If we had Aubameyang we'd be getting their results.

We don’t even create half chances let alone chances for our strikers.

 

[svenboss]

I never thought I’d say this but Rafael all the way. Good manager besides his previous Liverpool job. I want to see how he copes at a small club.

He managed a small club in Newcastle and got them relegated mate.

Fair enough. If we had Aubameyang AND dropped Sigurdsson we'd be getting their results.

 

[roy vernon]

I don’t want Rafael either, but, I would have to credit McClaren with at least an assist in the barcode’s relegation.

Can you see Mourinho working with Daniel Levy?
