Saint Charlie Posted 4 June, 2016 Share Posted 4 June, 2016 No chance of Emery IMO. He has Champions League football and far better, richer, more ambitious teams will be following him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainchris Posted 4 June, 2016 Share Posted 4 June, 2016 Bring back Adkins. A man who would have some loyalty at least. Adkins boat sailed a long time ago I'm afraid. The egos in that dressing room now are huge and a small time manager would find it very difficult to cope.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 4 June, 2016 Share Posted 4 June, 2016 Bring back Adkins. A man who would have some loyalty at least. We don't need loyalty, its an old concept, who wants some manager who feels in his comfort zone with a job for life feeling? 2-3 seasons of hungry, ambitious mangers with something to prove would probably suit us better.

Wade Garrett Posted 4 June, 2016 Share Posted 4 June, 2016 Would love Pellegrini, think he wants to stay in England if the opportunity is right, his job at City was good but not great, but his job at Malaga was fantastic and performances in Europe with a limited side were equally so, which is what we need. The same with Emery, but I do feel like both may not be interested. Laurent Blanc maybe an outside bet? Left PSG but as far as I'm aware not linked with anything at the moment unless I've missed that he's taken a job elsewhere! Feel like De Boer is the easy link for journalists because we've gone Dutch before. Knowing us it'll be someone not on the list of favourites with the bookies, which is the way I like it. As bad as it sounds I hope we don't go British, just nothing inspiring out there for me. We need someone who has handled a European campaign, in a state of transition as we may be this season, and the extra demands of 6 Europa games, we need someone who knows how to deal with it and then we'll be fine. Starting to get excited now. You missed out him getting Villareal to the Champions League semi-finals as well. Would be perfect for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millbrook Saint Posted 4 June, 2016 Share Posted 4 June, 2016 Bring back Adkins. A man who would have some loyalty at least. You say that but what if he had got us to 7th and 6th in consecutive seasons and the scousers came in for him, don't think loyalty would have counted for much then. We only think he was loyal because he was pushed before he jumped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuncanRG Posted 4 June, 2016 Share Posted 4 June, 2016 Whoever it is, they'll need a new chant. I couldn't handle the irony of singing 'There's only one so-and-so' for a fourth manager in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabrone Posted 4 June, 2016 Share Posted 4 June, 2016 Do a swap and get Roberto Martinez, yes he had a bad time at Everton but I think at a well run club like us he'd do really well. Thought he worked wonders at Wigan. If this happens I'll be gutted - I think he's made a bad move there, the expectation will be immense but that club looks like a bit of a circus.

Chalkboy Posted 4 June, 2016 Share Posted 4 June, 2016 Frank de Boer would be a great appointment. I'm thinking along the same lines.

Lose lose really isn't it? Agree with this. Would love to have some longevity for a change, a 4 or 5 year manager - this even newer era of managers lasting a year is just ridiculous.

S-Clarke Posted 4 June, 2016 Share Posted 4 June, 2016 AVB was very sought after when he was at Porto, didn't Chelsea pay something like £15m to Porto to get him?
