  1. 1. Who do you want as manager?



Recommended Posts

I'd take Poyet. Yeah he's a knob, but I liked how Brighton played it out from the back, as we do, whilst he was there. I'm sure there are other better candidates from overseas, but my knowledge is poor on that subject.

Just looking at the betting for the Spuds job and the man who is 5th favourite is Thomas Tuchel - not someone I'd heard of. Just left Mainz this year having lead them to 7th in the Bundesliga and Europa League qualification. They also finished 5th in his first season there in 2010/11.

 

Anyone follow German football and know what sort of football they were playing under him? He's now left Mainz so is available, would appear to be looking for a bigger job.

 

I came across his name after reading an article about Klopp and Mainz.

 

A feature on Mainz said their fans rate his achievements with them greater than Klopp. He is a highly rated 'thinking young coach', and already touted as a replacement at one of the big clubs in Germany. (Worth bearing in mind that we too have had up and coming 'thinking young coaches' in England, Adie Boothroyd for one, and things don't always work out for them). Wonder if he's attended any motivational courses run by a German speaking Canadian over the last couple of years.

The manager of Chile if we could get him, Jorge Sampaoli. Plays the same style as Poch and also the same nationality I believe.

 

I like this guy, look at the teams he's managed -[TABLE=class: infobox vcard, width: 22]

Some bookies are already betting on next Saints permanent manager. I've had a little punt on Eddie Howe at 33/1. I would prefer a young up and coming, bright and articulate individual to the ones that have been round the block a few times and I believe Howe fits the bill.

If we get rid of a few players and are in transition then Big Sam is probably the best bet. He has an unwarranted reputation for playing long ball football, but we know he would probably keep us up.

 

Apart from 'arry, can't think of anyone I'd rather not have:lol:

Hoping Pochettino stays, but if he were to leave then Pepe Mele would be a decent replacement for me http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01yyvf9

 

Have zero confidence the new board would be up to making the right appointment though.....Would probably be the Eastliegh or Sholing coach, "making the heart of the City click" and all that.

 

I've asked before but who appointed MP, Cortese wasn't a football person so someone advised him. Perhaps the same backroom staff that advised Cortese could find us another gem?

Presumably your taking the ****? Allardyce is a dinosaur.

Howe was interviewed for the Saints job before we hired Adkins according to a mate who works at AFC Bournemouth so that could be a good bet.

 

I think they would probably go for someone with experience at a higher level though.

Yes, but Cortese did a lot of research over a period of time, knowing Adkins wasn't the right man to take us forwards... this would be a rush job as whoever comes in has to sign a few players quickly.. not good

As others have said, hopefully MoPO stays. But if he goes then any of the following would have different qualities to bring: Moyes - great job with ok, but not great, resources over Everton and impossible job to take over Fergie's squad

Poyet- despite being irritating at Brighton, did great job there and done similar at Sunderland. Plays quality football

Benitez - loves managing in England, accept we may struggle to attract him.

McLaren - great job at Middlesbrough, Derby and in Holland. Does not relying spending huge sums

Howe - accept he is unproven at Premier League level, but who isn't before they take their first job? Could he honestly have done anything better so far in his career and still very young?

 

I personally think Hoddle, yes still, Allardyce and Pulis are all in their different ways very good managers but all would be divisive of fan base. We want united club after what will I fear be an unsettling summer so would rule them out for this reason

I desperately hope that none of your suggestions come to fruition ;)
