Unfortunately, I don’t trust Sport Republic to make the right appointment. Expectation is someone of Graham Potter levels, realty is they’ll probably get Lampard or Rooney. My expectation, if it happens, is that it will be someone nobody has ever heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 9 hours ago, SWLondon Saint said: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cq6l2mq23nyo Obviously I know we're not going to get Amorim, but just read this article about him - humble, always trying to learn and improve, and most importantly, with the same squad and players, overachieves. We should be trying to find the next Amorim, not sticking with someone who does none of the above. Agreed. But this strikes me as part of the problem that SR think they can be identify someone to become the next great thing, but end up with someone less than average. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 After the draw, they were interviewing Ruud van Nistelrooy. He was in a black pullover and had stubble. So 2 of the key SR requirements right there. If he's not part of the incoming coaching set up there, he must be on our radar now. Obviously, he'll have to ditch that high scoring nonsense he was doing tonight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coalman Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 (edited) A little harsh on van Nistelrooy to lose the position after winning every single game and so the door closes on Russell Martin at Man Utd.

Convict Colony Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 I know most of you know this but Kompany was like Bayerns 7th/8th choice for manager after quite a few turned them down, it was a pure fluke he got that job. They wanted before him Alonso, Ragnwick, Nagelsmann,Glasner, tried to keep Tuchel when their search was going to shit and were interested in Flick, De Zerbi.

Convict Colony Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 6 hours ago, Saint_clark said: Maybe Ruud Van Nistelrooy? I'd say 2 things about Ruud as manager at PSV: 1. He had a front 3 that season of Gakpo (left in Jan), Simmons and Madueke (left in Jan) at PSV and came 2nd to Feyenoord. 2. Peter Bosz took over after Ruud fell out over transfer budget (they didnt buy any great players with their sales) and they lost 1 game all season in the league and are currently played 10 won 10 this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
