  1. 1. Who do you want as manager?



Recommended Posts

Spoke to a guy who knows swizz football very well. Said we should avoid Yakin at all cost. Basel is almost like Celtic in Scotland, would win the league no matter who manages them. Also, Basel chose not to give him a new contract, he didn't quit.

My bet for Saints new manger

"Head Coach Ryan Huska

 

Ryan Huska enters the 2013-14 WHL season coaching his seventh season as the Rockets head coach and coming off one of the best seasons in Kelowna Rockets history.

 

In 2012-13 Huska guided the Rockets to the WHL BC Division championship with a 52-16-3-1 record, setting a new franchise record with 52 wins and also setting a Kelowna-record with a 23 game home winning streak.

 

In his six seasons as head coach, the Rockets have won a WHL championship, placed second at 2009 Memorial Cup and added the BC title last season. His team's have not finished below .500.

 

Huska is one of the most decorated amateur hockey men in Canada with four Memorial Cup championship rings to his name. He has also won a bronze and silver medal as an assistant coach with Team Canada at the World Junior Hockey Championships.

 

As a junior player Huska was a centre with the dynasty teams in Kamloops where he won three Memorial Cup championships. He would play 247 career WHL regular season games and 155 playoff games with the Blazers. As a pro he played in the IHL, AHL and also played one game in the NHL with the Chicago Blackhawks.

 

After retiring as a player, Huska climbed through the coaching ranks with the Rockets beginning in 2002-03 as an assistant coach before becoming the Rockets seventh head coach in history in 2007.

 

In 2004 in Kelowna, he earned his fourth Memorial Cup and first as a coach when he was an assistant to Marc Habscheid when the Rockets won the Memorial Cup. In 2008-09 he guided the Rockets to a WHL banner and a Memorial Cup appearance as a head coach.

 

Born in Cranbrook, he and his wife Denise have two daughters and a son.

Contradicts everything that was said & written previously.

Should we avoid all managers from Scotland and Switzerland simply because the leagues are not as competitive as the Premiership?

just not moyes, please not moyes, as a manager that man personifies mediocrity

2006-07 6th

2007-08 5th

2008-09 5th

2009-10 8th

2010-11 7th

2011-12 7th

2012-13 6th

2013-14 7th

To be fair to him Basel have won the league the last 6 attempts or so but Grasshoppers are always close so I'm not sure how there's no competition?

Would be bad news for strikers, Moyes is kryptonite for strikers. In all his years at Everton he only one time had a striker hit 15 prem goals. Half the time they don't even make dbl figures.

You've taken an arbitrary time period to back your current point, which is coincidentally exactly what glasgow would do. Weird that.

 

Went back 8 years as that felt long enough to make the point. I actually left out 2004-05 where he finished 4th.

Take your point about the SPL - applies I think to both players and managers although Wanyama has turned out ok. He's the exception rather than the rule.

I don't know about Switzerland but I'd gladly avoid all managers from the SPL unless they're proven something in a proper league.

 

Agree - its impossible to gauge how good someone is unless they have operated in a competitive league instead of a one or two horse race.

That's a fair point except he has done pretty well in European competitions with what amounts to a minnow club at European level.

If this is the new GS I like the change. Can't believe anyone would sniff at that record. Not to mention at least one FA Cup final as well from memory. Yes we can go on about style and system but he did get results.

I think we won't have a manager per se. I reckon the sacking of Dodd and Williams was to make way for an inclusive type coaching set up, with a DoF type figure, Les Reed most probably, overseeing the whole thing. Bloody hope I'm wrong.

I will claim a gold star if we get Sampaoli as I have been championing him (below) for a long time since the Adkins thread Nov 2012, I would also add I can't find 100% confirmation that Biesla has signed on the dotted line for Marseille, just "agreement in principle"

 

 

Bielsa signed at Marseille yesterday afternoon, 2 years, Gabby Heinze as assistant. T'was in L'Equipe yesterday, they don't get basic things like that wrong.

Not so sure - have heard that Martin Hunter and those two didn't get on- it could be that the whole academy may change as TBH it works but doesnt bring any success.

Many of the teams are just about developing the individuals rather than the teams winning - have watched quite a few games this year all ages and we play great technical football but get beaten a lot.

We nearly signed moyes all those years ago before dave jones if my memory serves me right . However Lowe remained loyal to the existing back room coaches and he wanted to bring in his guys . Lowe said no and he didn't come to us .

 

I thought Yakin might be good but reading some more sensible posts about him I have gone of the idea a bit

This makes a case for Moyes. As the article says, wind back the clock 12 months and what would Saints fans think if Moyes were available. Does he have sufficient status to convince some of teh senior players to stay? I think probably yes. Man Utd did happen of course so that can't be erased but the main question mark would be whether his style could fit with Saints'. This would be my main concern, that our style would change. But let's be realistic. We're a mid table, middle of the road premiership club with an inexperienced board and the potential for better players to up sticks. Stability is required. Moyes would provide it.

But he wasn't out of contract, he had next year too, same as Mauricio, wanted a big salary hike and better players though, can't think what for. Mutual agreement apparently.

Must admit I like the sound of this Yakin chap (although I admit I hadn't heard of him til the last day or so!), but I have a feeling that it will be Moyes that will appointed.

 

My only reservation with Moyes would be whether he would be really motivated. He's been around the block a few times with bigger clubs than us and got a kicking at Man U. We would be step down for him - got to avoid another saggy going through the motions.

How about Thomas Tuchel from Mainz 05? He is used to working with the youth set up, and has done well with the first team since taking over there, getting them to 7th this season and qualifying for the Europa league.

 

He's been mentioned a few times, and would be a very good appointment as well.

Yep.

He failed at Manyoo because he had ghosts and pensioners looking over his shoulders whilst having to try to please the most fair-weather glory-hunting fans on the planet. Doesnt mean he isnt a good manager.

Well considering strikers is what we are short of the most currently, that doesnt seem to be an immediate problem.

 

Hoddle's teams were also low scoring / low conceeding.

After failing with Man U Moyes will need to be a sucess at his next club. He wouldn't get a job at any team that finished higher than us last season TBH.

My only reservation with Moyes is that his style doesn't suit the playing style that our club has been aiming for in the last few years.

 

His name should be absolutely bottom of anybodys list.

 

We NEED to continue attacking football. Not move to a style more befitting of 10-15 years ago that Moyes would bring.

Looking at Moyes, what are his options? Us, WBA or Celtic or any other overseas club that might be looking. Because I am biased, I would discount WBA, so it would be between us and Celtic. if you were him, would you choose us over Celtic? Interesting that Owen Coyle seems to be favourite for Celtic.

10-15 years ago? A style that has kept them in the top half for how long?

What exactly is our style because its changed every manager we have had - Pardew then Adkins and the Poch so our style is what 18 months old at the latest?

Do you not think that style can be found out - some clubs certainly did against us.

 

I am not advocating Moyes but I certainly would not be unhappy with him as much as Hughton, Mackay etc

Anyone got the latest odds on Stan buying a post-match round in the Guide Dog?

IMO I doubt he will manage any Ui club soon. He's more likely to spend some time as a TV pundit and maybe manage abroad for a while, then come back to a big English club in a few years time. The only trouble for him is that the spurs vacancy will come too soon. Still ,maybe he can get it after pochettino's successor has been sacked.

not sure that clubs will be falling over themselves to give Moyes a job at all myself. Probably have to wait a while or drop back a level. He's really done himself no good at all. Martinez proved that Everton are a good side and got good results with them, Moyes fecked up at Utd in a relative way of speaking. He's perhaps not as good as some might have thought before he went to Old Traff.

Not sure who I would like. Still feel a bit numb with it all. Those knocking Moyes needs to take a long hard look at themselves. He was offered one of the biggest jobs in the football world. Didn't have a good time but I believe anyone following ferguson would have had the same to deal with. Yes he made mistakes but who hasn't. Remember when Strachan came he was on the back of a rough time. I quite like the manager with something to prove.

Agree completely should be well down the list, only ahead of the likes of Mackay and Hughton and co. Terrible fit playing style wise and not a very good fit with the whole academy approach either.
