tom27111 Posted 1 July 2015 Share Posted 1 July 2015 Patrick Viera for me...the guys a winner...France World Cup..Arsenal & Juventus/Inter serie A....the players would respect him...never gave less than 100 per cent,would demand the same from his players,,,has played under Wenger & Mouhrinio,must have learnt something...has by all accounts done well with the under 21s at Man City...was considered for the Newcastle job,so it looks like he is wanting to make the step up to manager...ok it would be a gamble but if Klopp/Allardyce/Moyes not interested,its one i would be willing to take... I'd be happy with that. As I mentioned earlier, Remi Garde could also be an option. Whilst the likes of Klopp, De Boer and Montella might not take the job, we'd be mad not to approach them. It's not going to hurt. You don't ask, you don't get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Fox Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 This is all so utterly depressing. Lennon the front runner now? Really? How could the owners do this to us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callabinho Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 The owners haven't really got a clue what they are doing, first manager they had come to the club was advised by Milan, obviously they had Nigel back (more out of desperation) which turned out to be a good call, now they have to go searching again, the problem is they have limited experience with talking to people, so they will be impressed by anyone who sits there nodding his head saying "yea I'll do that". They will end up chasing big names not landing them and panicking into offering someone of Warnocks ilk the job. Basically we're ****ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaelicFox Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 Klopp 1st choice, we are ready made for what he wants, team outside the top 4 to improve and just wants to be a coach.... Cambiasso 2nd choice, just for the fact he will play again and have Shakespeare as his right hand man..... Moyes 3rd choice, steady manager, would keep us up and also bring the younger players through, not an exciting style of football though..... All the rest can 'feck off and die' Up the City.... Are we deluded or what , what on earth would Klopp or moyes even be doing looking at us Kop yourself on if moyes wanted the job we should walk on hot coal to get him , but he won't We will get a cheap option .....as none of the better options will come here without 60-70m in transfer funds Bottom 3 here we come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 And there's Andrew Neville too - the director of football operations (whatever that is) - I would have thought he's no mug inputting into this process... It's just a ****ing mess... new manager comes in - perhaps he doesn't fancy the likes of Fuchs, Okazaki and Huth. Then what? I thought we'd gone above and beyond the managerial merry-go-round with a guy who seemed to be relatively loyal. Now I fear we could join other clubs who chop and change all the time. Absolutely critical appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many punt that kind of money unless they know something. clearly an appointment to satisfy the fans but what the hell are they doing appointing someone who is going to be in the press for all the wrong reasons as Pearson was. Even if it works out , we will just end up in the same place. Not convinced about his tactical nouse, though no doubting his passion and probable ability to keep the team spirit going.

Foxhateram Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 If its Lennon I will be even more bemused. He has no premier league experience and very little managerial experience at all. This is all bloody crazy and radiculous! Someone experienced and is going to play similar football to Pearson or get grovelling on the phone to big Nige so he can complete the job. Stupid decision by the owners. Still fuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roblcfc84 Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 Had we gone down the Lennon appointment would have made more sense. But having survived and signed three solid PL signings this whole episode is sheer madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 I am underwhelmed with the prospect of Neil Lennon managing us, He was a great player for us And I want it to remain that way. Still needs to do more work in the championship add a promotion to his CV then maybe we should consider but certainly not now. FFS the Thais need to get their head out of the sand and appoint someone on par with NP hell I would even take Eddie Howe here not that I would think he would come here but we are likely to stay up more than Bournemouth.

ian_marshall Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 Loved Lennny as a player, but can't say I'd be overjoyed if we appointed him as manager and personally think it would be a backwards step. Doesn't come across to me as a manager that has the pulling power to bring top players to the club, the intelligence to put in place leading class support functions (Training, Sports Science, Scouting, etc), or the dynamic tactical prowess to succeed at the highest level.

The 'trade' never thought that Nigel had any tactical nouse. But I think he has shown his intelligence in embracing the sports science side of the game. I wonder if Lenny is as forward thinking in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Dynamic tactical prowess" - and you would equate that with Nigel Pearson?????!!!!!!!??????? Really, so many members on here need to get their heads out from up his arse. Your head must be up his arse. Is your head up his arse? Are you flexible enough to ge...aah **** it. Interestingly Ian Baker is touting Lennon too.

Bob Hazels shorts Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 Known of Lennon though certain people (facts) since he signed and was staying at the Sketchley Grange in Hinckley. Whilst a fantastic player for us, he was one of the lads and off field his lifestyle may not fit in with that of a Monk to put it politely. Even Marshall a pal suggested the job is too big for him. Be surprised if its not a name that would be known in Bangkok/ Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artursteppe Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 There are people on here who have definitely over estimated Pearson. We won 7 of the last 9 after a desperately poor first attempt by Pearson in the first, let's say 26 games. We survived because eventually Pearson let Cambiasso take control on the pitch and probably to a large degree on the training ground. We had Huth - You do not have to be a genius to realise our central defense up to Christmas was awful so to get a recognised top level central defender to the club on loan ( who was on the bench at his club) is something my mother would have done, it was so obvious! Then at long, long last Pearson realised the experience and quality of Albrighton should be utilised. [ Wins to matches played ratio for Huth about 50%, Albrighton was second best at about 40+%] Now OK, Pearson did manage survival, but don't overdo the 'saviour' bit. The way people are talking on here suggests they actually think Pearson is better than everyone else, he ain't! Average at best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzy1981 Posted 2 July 2015 Share Posted 2 July 2015 Got a feeling we may get a big international name like Hiddink or possibly Moyes. Think they will want to get a big name in a move to get cambiasso to stay too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
