Thierry Henry

Recommended Posts

Posted

Can someone explain to me why certain footballers - like Henry - are discussed relative to top managerial posts, even though they have no management experience whatsoever?

He was mentioned in relation to Puel's post - by the media - and Arsenal's and now he is the top candidate for the Bordeaux job.

He's even listed above Laurent Blanc and others like Remi Garde.

He may turn out to be a good manager but he needs to learn the trade and get real head coach experience. Any team that chooses him over Laurent Blanc deserves relegation.

Worked with the Belgian side at the World Cup very highly respected tactically and as a man manager.

Agree though he perhaps should cut his teeth so to speak but I wouldn’t be surprised to hear he goes to a big club and does well a la Zidane.

Working for a month with the most skillful players on the planet is not related to managing a team in a top league. Zidane had worked with his "big club" since retiring and was groomed for the role, and took over a team that he really couldn't fail with didn't he? I'm not saying he didn't do well be again nothing like the Henry situation.

Henry is one of the biggest names in football, of course he's going to be linked with them. I doubt these calibre of clubs are seriously considering him as he's quite the gamble atm

I can assure you that bordeaux are seriously considering him. (ITK).

Listen here FIF, you asked if anybody could explain something so I did. I don’t want to enter into an ongoing discourse about it! The English Belgian assistant (can’t remeber his name) said he thought that Arsenal had genuinely missed a trick by not appointing him.:giggle: 

I’d genuinely swap him for Puel in a heartbeat and I’m not trolling.

Also you've got to factor in brand awareness these days as well, having a manager like Thierry Henry is certainly going to generate more publicity to your club. Especially at a club like Bordeaux, who aren't the most wealthy

Not sure how serious you are. An ex-player with no experience and not even properly studied his coaching badges in at a top 8 prem club. You must be madder than col and the mad hatter put together.

And Laurent Blanc is available.

Not quite sure how people taking a bit more notice of bordeaux will help them if they slide into Ligue 2 because they have a manager who has no experience of coaching/managing.

Many ex-players have gone into management and made a complete balls up of it - many more than ever had success.

Modern footnall management is a bit weird. Zidane has won 3 CLs in a row but not everybody rates him that highly. He wouldn't even make top 5 world best current managers in most people's eyes.

I guess you've now seen that Sky sports are reporting he's been offered the job.

I've been told that Henry wants guarantees about lots of transfer money to be made available.

Considering this Bordeaux have also spoken to another ex Arsenal player (without coaching experience).

To be clearer, it's the future American owners that he wants guarantees from and the ex-arsenal player is Gilles Grimaldi.

I was talking more of the likes of Villa really that could attract top calibre managers, Bordeaux have a cloud over them atm and haven't been a top team for nearly a decade, finances arent exactly lucrative. Why not roll the dice?

Zidane though has been in charge of biggest club in the world with full of squad of world class players. Is Zidane capable of winning the champions league with two different clubs... we'll shall see in years to come.

Henry turns down Bordeaux.

Obviously not willing to work on a team and wants one that has all the star players in place.

so you started a thread to cry about him possibly getting the job and now you’re replying to yourself crying about the fact he hasn’t got the job? 

just wondering what outcome would’ve lead to a post that didn’t make me want to injure myself?

Back on ignore.

You must be the most pointless poster on FT. I've never read a post by you that's worthwhile.

Henry proving his worth as a manager.

 

Did his team just lose by 4 to a team that we put 6 past in the same competition?

No he didn't, because we only put five past Brugge over the two games...

Pick from the managerial 'gets sacked wherever they go' merry-go-round or try out a young manager looking to cut his teeth with a serious amount of experience in the game.

 

I applaud Monaco for taking a risk. Just wish more English clubs did it (look at Derby for example).

I presume that's a joke - albeit a poor one - seeing as I have criticised other celebrity managers whatever their colour. If not have a word with yourself.

I don't have a problem with young managers cutting their teeth, in fact I'm all for it. I just think these celebrity managers should do their coaching badges and then get some experience at lower level clubs. There are plenty of young managers with lower level experience who merit the chance of getting higher level jobs but don't get it because they don't have the name.

 

And the more often a young first timer fails the more likely it is that the old tried and tested rubbish will be given the jobs the next time around.

 

Teams get into the top divisions by working up through the lower divisions and proving their worth. It should be the same for managers.
