Crab Lungs Posted 5 June, 2016 Share Posted 5 June, 2016 Totally uninspiring if true; satisfactory at City, but some of his buys and their performances stank Would prefer Howe, QSF, Sampoli or Marco Silva Definitely not FdB, AVB, Moyes, Martinez or Giggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefuriousb Posted 5 June, 2016 Share Posted 5 June, 2016 And how would he fit into a 5 year plan? He is only 62 years of age not 72. His age though does mean we won't be a "stepping stone". He has European experience in his last 4 jobs. He also carries a healthy respect within the game. Enhanced by his handling of the Pep which dominated city's campaign from the start.

CB Fry Posted 5 June, 2016 Share Posted 5 June, 2016 Why are people obsessed about mangers not using us as a stepping stone? One of the main reasons I really don't want Howe is because of this very thing. SFC will be the best job Eddie Howe will ever get. He ain't stepping stoning nowhere. I want our next manager to use us a stepping stone to a bigger club - because that means he'll be bloody good and if he ends up at a bigger club for loads more money it means he's done a brilliant job. Win/Win. Stepping stone me right up and let's make our next two-year boss a ruddy good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get a manager who doesn't use us as a stepping stone/is very loyal then we'll end up treading water for a few years in the middle of no where (alas Pulis, Hughes, Pardew etc). I want our next manager to take us even higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO16_Saint Posted 5 June, 2016 Share Posted 5 June, 2016 Unless you are a Real Madrid or Barcelona, you will always be a stepping stone club for your players and managers. Personally I hope that our players ams managers DO use us as a stepping stone to their next rung on their career ladder. If they do progress, it invariably means we have had a good season as a team, and have progressed up our own ladder. The only time players and managers don't go in to bigger and better is if they've failed in their current role. Long may the 'stepping stone' cycle continue at SFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Successful enough in Russia, winning the league and Cup and okay in the Champions League. He's won the Europa League, and did excellently at Spurs and was a gnats away from finishing fourth. More points than Poch got. His availability - he's a free agent - as much as his track record means he is a compelling candidate. Although you can see him here, can't you? He's like Pochettino and Pardew blended into one Portuguese peacock - half footballing scholar half preening egotist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergei Gotsmanov Posted 5 June, 2016 Share Posted 5 June, 2016 With our existing squad and realistic ambitions we must be a very attractive proposition. Koeman has sacrificed his long term footballing aspirations for money. He will fail to ignite Everton and they will bumble along just above mid-table for a few seasons before the locals turn on him. He has missed out on both the Arsenal and Dutch jobs now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monosaint Posted 5 June, 2016 Share Posted 5 June, 2016 I can bet you that the SFC board will have put in a contingency plan on the basis that RK may not extend his contract which many thought highly likely. What we all thought though was that he would be true to his word and see his contract out but as with players having a manager knowingly seeing out the final year of a contract is not healthy so I would bet that SFC would have planned for it. List already drafted and we are implementing the next phase of the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
