Succession Planning - Managerial Wishlist

If this happens we go round the same track again. New manager or not we need a way of building a way of playing. Moyes had a way of playing, some say negative way, but this squad definitely doesn't suit him. So the question is do we back him to build that squad?
 
Yep. Did well at Sporting and Utd is a clown show. Still managed to get them in and about CL places.

Also his 3 at the back obsession may work for us
He would have been my first choice before being at Utd. So hard to tell once people have that stink of manure on them.

Think he probably will go on to win stuff elsewhere. The lack of willingness to adapt is a red flag though. You would have to be really really sure that you have the players to make 3 at the back work.
 
Just need to get him looking good enough to sell just like we should have sold Beto in the summer after his ‘hot’ streak when we actually managed to play balls for him to run onto as I think there was interest from Leeds early in the window.
More chance of him joining the harlem globetrotters.....

Well, the league dictates what is allowed, kick and rush football exists because it occasionally gets results. A good defence makes less mistakes.
We got an entertainment brand philosophy manager, look how bad that ended up. Great watch for the neutral like, but we were doomed with a thimble full more. A quite horrid excuse of a man, so warped by his own lies he couldn't tell night from day. Thankfully found out 100 times over since.
This season has criticised boring one nil arsenal for being set piece merchants. They're top of the league. Who is happy anywhere?
Took Moyes what, 6 years to get a good starting eleven together in his first spell, and we expect sexy samba football after 12 months?

Aye, right oh!
I hear what you're saying Rita and I'm not being overly greedy I think as I'm prepared to be patient with a new manager who can implement a style which has us enjoying watching the football on matchdays again (I can't remember the last time this happened) I'm just sick of defensive and reactionary coaches who are more preoccupied with the opponents ability rather than focusing on how we can take the game to the opposition and unsettle them. I'd also like a coach who isn't afraid to play attacking full backs even if it comes at a risk of defensive instability (even one attacking full back would be nice!)

For me you find a manager that does suit what we already have. Moyes building this squad in his image just gives the next guy more work to do.
 
Iraola and Glasner look more possible than they did at the start of the season.
Motta
Inigo Perez
Farioli
Hoeness
Rose
Hutter
Italiano
McKenna

The manager market is very weird right now because there's not many absolute banker elite coaches (Ancelottis and Peps) available but there's absolutely loads of very interesting managers in the tier below that who'd largely be chomping at the bit to manage in the prem. I'd be surprised if there wasn't one that was a good fit.

There's some wealthy sides looking for that unicorn manager atm.
And we don't have attacking fullbacks, in fact we barely have any fullbacks at all.
Wins would cover a lot of ills, hell, goals would cover some of the same ills. But bill and ben the stationary flowerpot men aint cutting the mustard.
£60M down on Thiago? Bring Robinson home (should never have let him leave, considering they were begging Kenny to stay).
Our recruitment policy and proceeding fallout is like that of a problem gambler, just desperate to end up penniless.
We need back to basics, the support wont like yet another reset but they keep clamouring for reset after reset when the flavour of the month goes stale and tries yet another reset.
Sooner the fans are ignored and a ruthless streak is incorporated the better. They don't like it, don't turn up. See ya!
 
no, we need a world class manager. He's just a bit better than Moyes, we need a lot better.
Get Ancelotti back after the world cup.

Yeah cos he did so well in the fa cup for us against the worst Liverpool team I’ve ever seen

Our football this season has been so style-less I don't even know what we're building towards. We're not particularly direct. We're not looking to dominate possession. We don't press hard. We don't counterattack. We don't keep the ball well but we're also not high risk high reward.
 
He's got good pedigree and he did outstanding at Bologna. I just want a manager who makes us play on the front foot and with assertiveness so from reading that bio he seems like a good fit. Do you have an opinion of Sebastian Hoeness?
Definitely also someone worth considering. Impressive record in Germany. Brought success to midtable clubs by playing entertainment attacking football, similar to Motta at Bologna.

Ended up unearthing a lot of gems at Hoffenheim and Stuttgart, though I have no idea how much thats to do with him or the scouting departments at those clubs.
