Appy Posted 15 June, 2017 Share Posted 15 June, 2017 Poch took over from one of the most popular managers ever, he was viewed with sceptisism and it took some time before fans came around And after one game those negative voices stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Wolf Posted 15 June, 2017 Share Posted 15 June, 2017 The thing is with the Poch appointment, it was more the way Adkins was sacked than actually getting in Poch that causes the stir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working in Basingstoke, there are a few Reading fans in the office. They tell me Stam's style is equally sterile and boring. To read they could get compensation from us excites them.

Stams football to date is more boring than Puels! Its his first year though so maybe just building a platform and the start of a style - theyve had good results so he gets the chance to improve it next year. If he had average results though their fans would be like us im sure, its so stodgy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks. That being said, this seems like an awfully flimsy reason for not appointing him last summer: De Boer was close to being appointed last summer when Southampton eventually opted for Puel but the perception then of hiring another high-profile Dutchman immediately after Ronald Koeman had left for Everton was understood to have been a factor.

DrunkenSaint Posted 15 June, 2017 Share Posted 15 June, 2017 The more I read about Pellegrino the more I like.

SuperSAINT Posted 15 June, 2017 Share Posted 15 June, 2017 All I can find on him is how he beat Barca 2-1 using a very defensive tactic, got any other read ups on him? Guillem Balague said this about him: Mauricio Pellegrino, Alaves Also on my list is Mauricio Pellegrino, who has done wonders taking a newly promoted, totally changed, Alaves side with 11 new players and not much money to a respectable mid-table finish. They have been experts at making the most of the few goals they've scored this season, with a win over Barcelona and draws in both matches against Atletico Madrid catching the eye. Mauricio Pellegrino's Alaves have made every goal count this season Pellegrino might well have concentrated on achieving a better finish but he eased up in the league once his side had earned a place in the Copa del Rey final that they will contest against Barcelona at the Vicente Calderon on May 27. He would certainly have settled for that at the beginning of the season. But will he be there next year or has he got bigger fish to fry? I think he could go. You would likely have to look deeper into their squad to know how good a job he's done there. Sounds like he's got them massively overachieving.

Leo_ARG Posted 15 June, 2017 Share Posted 15 June, 2017 FdB dind't do well in Italy. Why bring him? Does he have a special relationship with VvD? Not that I'm aware of. And about Pellegrino... I was suprised by the fact that he had such a good season with Alaves. Here in Argentina he coached two teams and didn't achieve anything out of the ordinary. Of all Bielsa's understudies (Sampaoli, Pochettino, Berizzo) he is the most defensive-minded. Or maybe the more "balanced". However you want to see it. Not very different from FdB. Neither of this two coacher are like Poch. But you never know what a manager does until he knows his squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that a parting of the ways was always likely you would have hoped/thought the key targets were in place and sounded out, but perhaps not knowing how previous summers have drifted.
