E_H_Saints Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 I thought the criticism was well written and exactly what's wrong with out defending. Before they came think about playing high or passing too close to our box they need to focus on basic defending. Mke us difficult to score against.

Youth management is a different skillset and we'll learn absolutely nothing against low ranked teams in the nations league. When it comes down to the crunch games, and the pressure that involves, he's completely untested. No such pressure exists in youth football. Like the Americans, we shouldn't limit ourselves to only domestic talent. If we can't find the English talent, look elsewhere. Pochettino has extensive senior management experience and unlike Carsley, he played in major international tournaments as well. We should be approaching names like Xavi, Low, Tuchel, Zidane (if he speaks English)... I doubt we've approached anyone. I refuse to believe his CV is the best we can attract but we all know the FA have already decided he's got the job.

Zidane, reasonable enough shout based on CV. Although I'd want to see him do something with someone other than Madrid (why hasn't he taken another job - waiting for France?) and I doubt talks english and/or be interested. Low & Tuchel both German and I'd rather win nothing than a german win it for us. Low lasts 2 tournaments as Germany manager were a disaster. Poch, won nothing and is an argie (see above). Xavi...? Other than an underwhleming stint at Barca, what on earth has he done to warrent the job. You've just shown that you're after a big name rather than the right name. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the pressures and quality of opposition manager they face in senior club managment is a better test for their aptitude than international youth management is. They have all shown they can manage big characters at senior level and have playing or management experience in major international tournaments. They've all won silverware in senior management. They've proven they can thrive under pressure. They're all far more qualified as far as I'm concerned and personally, I couldn't care less if our manager is German. It's a one sided rivalry anyway. These are the high profile names currently out of work that come to mind but that's not to say there aren't others that are more qualified than Carsley. I'd even rank the likes of Potter and Solskjaer clear of Carsley on the basis they have both managed senior teams to silverware. Youth football is a skillset more dominated by player welfare and development than expectation. It's also a place inexperienced managers go to learn their trade. When we go to the world cup, he'll be up against seasoned managers with a lot more nous. Carsley is not the best man for the job nor do I believe he's the best man that wants the job.
