kristianity77 Posted 16 June 2023 Share Posted 16 June 2023 I'm happy with this appointment to be fair and whilst I think he might need a while to get his message across in terms of playing style I think in the long term he will do well here. The only worry is how long it takes in the short term to coach all the shit out of the players that stay that was ingrained by Rodgers. I hope he's given the time and patience to do that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lionator Posted 16 June 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 16 June 2023 The club also becomes a more attractive proposition again for new players. All they’d have seen for the past couple of years is stagnation and regression, why would anybody want to join that? Now we have somebody with a great record at development, players, young and hungry players are going to be far more keen to join us. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The_Rorab Posted 16 June 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 16 June 2023 I'm just desperate after Rodgers to have a manager that feels like he wants to be here, a manager that is willing to work with the development side, and honestly the most important part for me at least and why I much prefer Maresca to the likes of Parker et al, a manager that makes it feel like the club is trying to pull in a new direction and give a chance to change things - with some sort of actual plan behind it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 16 June 2023 Share Posted 16 June 2023 Champions league final was last Saturday evening Their assistant coach all agreed by Thursday (maybe earlier - we dont know) Parker, gerrard etc were a convenient distraction and we didn’t brief against rumours if we really couldn’t speak to enzo in detail about the appointment until after the CL final (I have a feeling that he had his interview after the fa cup final) then we’ve moved swiftly this week to get it done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club are still silent, the manager’s managerial experience is shit, and there is still only half a squad. I swear it’s just the homoerotic factor that is driving most of this current wave of positivity. Which, granted, is fully justified. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Bowman Posted 16 June 2023 Share Posted 16 June 2023 To answer the question posed in the thread's title - I want Maresca. Even though I know nothing about him, hadn't heard of him until about two days ago and have no idea if he'll be any good at all. Anyone else is going to feel like a right letdown after all this anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiv Posted 16 June 2023 Share Posted 16 June 2023 31 minutes ago, oxtonfox said: My fear is that Maresca will be another Paulo Sousa where we simply weren’t capable of playing his style. I’m guessing it’s second grade Guardiola? and we will end up bombing out Worth noting that when Sousa took over we played a very old fashioned style of football which was a mixture of long ball / pushing our wingers down the flanks with big Stevie Howard up top. We transitioned to a possession based style of football from when Puel took over. So you would hope in the same way Brendan benefited from Puel’s foundations, Enzo will benefit from Brendan’s foundations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom27111 Posted 16 June 2023 Share Posted 16 June 2023 I'll be perfect honest...I don't think it's the right appointment for us. It's got disaster written all over it. We've got to trust the ownership of the club, which hasn't worked out very well for the last couple of years. More than happy to be proven wrong, before everyone starts giving me shit about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The compensation thing shouldn't be an issue anymore as apparently it was Southampton waiting for them to be officially a Championship team, which has now happened, so they would be able to pay the lower compensation fee If they are trying to get it even lower than that then they are just asking for Swansea to tell them to do one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
