OH GOD WHY HIM? AWFUL DECISION. LOL, WELL DONE TOP. You said no support from day one - until the end of his tenure. Find me the staunchest Pearsonite who didn't appreciate and thank Ranieri for last season and I'll happily concede. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I'm not joking because I have seriously had conversations with people at games who still didn't want him here - even when we looked like would do it last season. They had to pick fault with something about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggested Kovac a few months back, I don't think we're an attractive proposition for any in-work manager with reasonable stock in a steady league, though. I think Monk / Wagner would turn us down, as it stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very decent shout. I'd like us to look abroad for the next manager, the English coaching network is infamously poor even now. Van Brockhorst, De Boer, Dardai and Nagelssman all look streets ahead of any young English coach, with the possible exception of Howe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWFUL DECISION. LOL, WELL DONE TOP. Initial reaction was that we'd sacked a manager that got us up and put us in 14th and replaced him with a man who'd lost to the Faroe Islands. Ranieri proved us all wrong and nobody has looked back since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I don't see anyone in a job touching us but say Huddersfield stay down I think we could get Wagner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Monk / Wagner would turn us down, as it stands. Which is why I said Hiddink and then see. If we stay in the Prem and throw big money around then there's no reason we can't attract a Van Bronckhorst, a Kovac or the like. But nobody is going to leave a successful season in any reasonable league to come and risk relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AjcW Posted 24 February 2017 Share Posted 24 February 2017 I keep hearing a lot about Howe, and a few months ago I might have been in that camp.....but they're a couple of games away from swapping places with us and being in the same position. - Worst Defence in the League - Not won in 2017 What is there to suggest he isn't just another Rodgers? He left Bournemouth once and failed miserably, it's his safety net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The state they're in, the fact he pretty much immediately had to cope with all the Icardi mess and that he was given 85 days is all a bit harsh.

The four straight titles at Ajax though, albeit in a poor league, suggests he can't be written off just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfox Posted 24 February 2017 Share Posted 24 February 2017 What we need is a motivator, I don't see Mancini as that guy, Pearson as great as he was I wouldn't want to go back, Pardew...snap, there goes my season ticket. Three options for me... Martin O'Neill with Roy Keane - Said it the other week, of all the times he's been linked with a return this could be the perfect time to get him back. If O'Neill & Keane can't motivate these players then nobody can. David Wagner - Doing a phenomenal job with Huddersfield. Huddersfield this season are a bit like us of last season in terms of playing with spirit. With Wagner take the Leeds game for example and the passion he showed, we need someone like that right now. Gary Rowett - This would be a gamble, but he's a well rated manager who was doing a great job with an average looking Birmingham team. If the worst comes to the worst and we end up getting relegated, at least we will have the foundations of a manager who knows the Championship.

Certainly not questioning recruitment whilst at Burnley, just making the point that his only venture away form what is clearly a comfortable job hasn't gone to plan. His recruitment this season mind has been nothing short of terrible... whether that is his doing or not I couldn't say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to him, he quit Burnley to drop down a division and head back to Bournemouth because his mum died and the family wanted to be close. Can't really fault that. Who knows what would've happened if he'd stayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 24 February 2017 Share Posted 24 February 2017 41 minutes ago, cityfanlee23 said: Mancini being backed quite big it seems, Would crack some skulls and kick some arse thats for sure, knows how to grind a game down but also knows how to win a game 2012 - Goals scored 93 Goals conceded 29 Had a cracking defence to work with but knows how to tighten things up clearly, Hopefully he can get the best out of some of these players, I think collectively we've been very hard on players like Musa/Drinky/Okazaki/Ulloa/Albrighton, Who knows, Maybe fresh ideas will see them save themselves for us, I genuinely think Musa could be a class player for us in the future if we stick with him. Look at the young players we have - Musa, Ndidi, Chilwell, Amartey, Gray, Kapustka, Mendy (sort of) We can mould these into very good players, it's clear these players who have come in are hardly likely to make an impact when the players who won the league for us last year can't be bothered to even get in position, get the basics right and it's like a snowball. If Mancini comes in, I genuinly think he could turn us around within weeks, We have 3 days to get someone in and get some belief for liverpool. . Kasper Simpson Wes Benny Chilwell Mendy Ndidi Drinky Albrighton Gray Slim/Leo Back to basics. Let's not get carried away!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
