TaggertvsWise Posted 18 October 2017 Share Posted 18 October 2017 I think as the board have moved so swiftly they obviously want to get someone in to build quickly to make a European go of it this year as oppose to the traditional Christmas time 'damage limitation' strategy which immediately rules out Big Sam, not that I have an issue with him. Business wise, to continue our profile internally and in Malaysia I believe they will want an international big name who has enough experience and time to get better quality out of international class players over the next 3 months to have a good idea of what he'll need come the Jan transfer window so that rules out Coleman, Dyche and 'long term project man' Howe. I wouldn't be surprised to see Benitez here. Who knows how long it will be before Mike Ashley does sell the club (if he decides to go through with it) and with a squad such as ours and money there he may find it appealing. Would love to see Ancelotti but he may consider it a step down. Wouldn't rule out Pelegrini or Mancini, someone of that ilk but in general would hope it would be Benitez or Ancelotti.

nnfox Posted 18 October 2017 Share Posted 18 October 2017 Didn't Dyche recently turn down a 5 year contract at Burnley, opting for a one year rolling contract? That tells me that he is open to having his head turned. We would tick a lot of boxes for Dyche, both professionally and personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bald reynard Posted 18 October 2017 Share Posted 18 October 2017 Interestingly, Dyche's Coaching team at Burnley is Ian Woan (ex-Forest of course) and Tony Loughlan - who is an ex-City trainee and ex-City Youth Team Coach. He only left us in 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never really had the chance to work with the Quality of Adrien Silva tbf. We still have a fair few plodders of our own to give a fresh kick up the arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Defour albeit not as good as Silva, is still a play maker CM who he signed for exactly that reason. He's limited by his budget so I think it's harsh to suggest he won't know what to do with creative players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only left ius in 2011. I think there will be a lot of positives for Dyche moving here so I wouldn't be surprised if he was keen. Equally, he has had a fantastic start with Burnley and probably knows he will be backed there no matter what (as proven by last time they were relegated). If he comes here, 10 games in, he could be on his way quite easily with our ambitious owners. He's emerging as not an exciting choice but probably the smartest and safest option, with a chance that with better players and more money, he can himself jump up a level.

Royston. Posted 18 October 2017 Share Posted 18 October 2017 Don't like the idea of douche. (Auto correct). We are now aspiring to be Burnley? He's have sole access to all the top championship players paying 3 times the odds for every player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajthefox Posted 18 October 2017 Share Posted 18 October 2017 I think it's a shame we missed out on Silva and he's ended up at Watford. I think Howe could do a decent job with some better players at his disposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, scored a wonder goal for F****t that was on MOTD titles for a season. His dad (ex-player) ran the Turnstile for a while. Dead nice lad was Tony.

I don't know what sort of football he plays though. Anyone know? Wouldn't be surprised if he's in the post by next week. After Shakespeare I doubt the Board will wanna appoint internally again, and Coleman is practically available to come in right now. Only good thing about Coleman would be the fact Kingy would start every game and wind up everyone on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simeone is a god at Madrid and his credencies would arguably allow him to walk into any big club on this planet. Why would he come to this nuthouse? I don't believe one bit in the Ancelotti job though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samilktray Posted 18 October 2017 Share Posted 18 October 2017 Pretty sure Chris Coleman's style of football is just pass the ball to Bale and we might win. I'm sure @Finnegan knows best though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jattdogg Posted 18 October 2017 Share Posted 18 October 2017 With the names denying us and the onea still being passed around having no manager sounds just as good an option. Seeing as king has won it all for us might as well give him the player manager role and lets win the league this year. Win every remaining game and its ours!

TheUltimateWinner Posted 18 October 2017 Share Posted 18 October 2017 No one will touch us with a barge pole yet some think we have a chance of getting simeone The reality is, I doubt any manager from a PL club would come to us. We really are limited in choice, we're probably stuck with candidates who will come forward for the job and that list isn't pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
