Turkish Posted 1 March, 2013 Posted 1 March, 2013 A decent pair of Italian leather brogues, fitted suit and tailored shirt and then ruins the whole effect by wearing a bench jacket over the top. Surely he should go for a dark grey or black double button number if he wants to be taken seriously as a top coach. I can't ever remember seeing mourinho, guardiola or Mancini in a bench coat. If he is serious about his ambitions he needs to express this in his choice of touch line clobber. What's the verdict saintsweb style gurus?
Colinjb Posted 1 March, 2013 Posted 1 March, 2013 (edited) Wenger has obviously spoilt the look. As for Pochettino, he should go the whole hog. Raid the Saintsfc store for all it's worth, only wear club merchandise. Live the brand, live the club. Saints bedding and lunchboxes, even branded pencil sharpeners. If he wants to be taken seriously in his attempts to adapt to life in england he must not leave any item untouched. And yes, I even include the branded golf tees. Edited 1 March, 2013 by Colinjb
Saint_Ash Posted 1 March, 2013 Posted 1 March, 2013 Haha, I love that! My wife has an irrational fear of stilt people so can't wait to show her long arsene!
Huffton Posted 1 March, 2013 Posted 1 March, 2013 Good thread actually Turkish. What are peoples opinions on what a manager should wear on the touchline? For me its a sharp suit and club tie. He's a manager and needs to put himself above his players, a good suit gives an air of authority. Managers that wear training gear look like coaches imo, and lower themselves to a matey level. And then there was Cloughie...
scotty Posted 1 March, 2013 Posted 1 March, 2013 Its probably because the players have started high-fiving and embracing the manager and assistant when they score. You wouldn't want your favourite Armani ruined by grass stains and sweat, would you. And thats without even thinking about Punch
Barry the Badger Posted 1 March, 2013 Posted 1 March, 2013 I liked the big cardie he wore for the press conference. I think he stole it off my grandad.
Graffito Posted 1 March, 2013 Posted 1 March, 2013 Is that fake? It's got unnaturally short arms. Of course it's f"kin fake!

For someone who dresses properly, it makes him come over a bit, well, Kingsland stand. Personally I think he should sport a retro Mille Miglia.

Personally I think he should sport a retro Mille Miglia. I'd love to see a manager in one of those!! We may need to appoint Paulo Di Canio to fullfill this dream though.

whelk Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 He should drop coat but adopt shorts like Owen Coyle. Get the respect in the same way I look on in awe when I see a 50 something estate kid in Tescos bearing his legs when it is two degrees outside. Is Coyle still favourite to be next Arsenal manager btw?
manji Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 I am so glad someone has brought up. Its been bothering me for a while. Generally his clothes arent bad Ive seen him in Smedley for casual and his suits arent bad. I think a genuine Crombie would complete the look.
John Boy Saint Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 Twin set and pearls, tweed skirt and court shoes that would show them............................. Oh dear I have just posted on the wrong forum: blooming iPad!!!
Lazlo78 Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 I think he would cut an imposing figure wearing a Saints striped mankini and a giant foam hand!

corky morris Posted 2 March, 2013 Posted 2 March, 2013 He got rid of it today for some sort of trench coat. Not a good look Rich. He needs a simple 3/4 Cashmere coat from a decent tailor!!!
itchen_dan Posted 3 March, 2013 Posted 3 March, 2013 I looked down at the bench and thought we'd appointed AVB before the game!
del boy Posted 3 March, 2013 Posted 3 March, 2013 not sure about the blue tie,not very saints agreed, that surely has to be the most disturbing aspect of his decision making to date
