Interesting quotes from Enzo Maresca in the past: “My thesis at Coverciano [Italian coaching centre] is called ‘Football and Chess’. There are a lot of similarities.

“The most important is positional play and strategy. For a coach it’s important to have the mentality of a chess player: develop a plan, study counter moves, choose the arrangement of the pieces.”

 

The “twat it up to the big man” brigade are gonna love that quote.

And I think he'll attract a better quality player due reputation for developing players and his connections with pep

Maybe I'm asking to much but would love to see kasper as our goalkeeping coach and love to see Cambiasso back at the club ,

[Clever Fox]

I just hope he shows some passion on the touchline similar to O'Neill.  I hate Managers who just stand there.

Great appointment.

All we need to do now is sign some good players.

I think we will see a couple of loans from Man City.

Nothing more passionate than writing something in a notebook and giving a little clap.

I prefer those Coaches that clap their hands and write bull-sh*t in a small notebook.

What’s interesting about appointments like this, is that there’s no ambition to use us to immediately leap frog to a top club.

 

If he can produce winning, Pep style football with an Ndidi - Choudhury - KDH - Albrighton midfield, PSG or Barca will snap him up.  And deservedly so

I don't mind keeping notes. I used to take notes myself 40 year ago. when you'd spot something that needed a mention or work on the training ground.

But the notes can come after the passion has passed.

Having said that, There's no need for notes now with Video Playback sitting in the Office where he can take all the Notes he wants.

One encouraging thing about the appointment is it suggests maybe our finances aren’t as bad as expected. I can’t imagine he’d leave for a club with a first team squad of about 14 and no budget. I hope!

How have we managed to get a manager before Leeds and Southampton lol?

 

I’d imagine we’ll be heavy favourites for the league.

By Mistake, Rudders thought he was ordering a coffee!

I'm amazed Southampton haven't appointed. I thought that had theirs all wrapped up.

I’ve passionately given someone the clap before…

It’s Leicester’s Maresca! Gotta be a tune in there… either this goes wrong very quickly or works out quite well in the mid-long term. I’m going to be cautiously optimistic!

Swansea are owed 1.75 mil if he leaves for a PL club, but only 1.25mil if he leaves for a championship club. Southampton are saving 0.5 mil by waiting until the new season officially start’s

It won't hurt.

 

I imagine prospective players would already have seen us as perhaps the most attractive Championship destination even before this.

Their forum and fan chatter seems to point them being run just as badly as us.

It's short sighted that though, the reason everyone was excited as he's going to build an exciting brand of football, if we wanted someone just for promotion we'd of gone with Parker. We need to build from the ground up again, I don't wanna see us come up and straight back down again.

I agree, but if we are midtable by Christmas, many fans will start to turn. That is the way of things I am afraid.
