So did Vesty and Bertrand. 
We seem obsessed with a side we battered 9 nil a few years ago and last season we beat 9-1 over 2 games and now rumoured to want that manager who was in charge. 
I don’t understand the obsession we seem to have with them. 

We dont have a proper contacts circle.

Apparently we heard it worked for Liverpool …..

Claudio? 

[kingfox]

Five managers who are doing solid jobs overseas, working with youthful squads and are not possession obsessive…

 

Sebastien Pocognoli - Union SG 

Thomas Thomasberg - Midtjylland

Carles Martinez - Toulouse

Paul Simonis - Go Ahead Eagles

Alessio Lisci - Mirandes

Martin is a step away from a fruit pastel….. we shouldn’t be even thinking about him……

Just listen to this, quite interesting to be fair. Never knew he was a practicing Buddhist…..

He comes across really well (as most managers do Infront of camera) but he seems like a really sound person who have a clear identity and a really methodical approach, I just dislike his style personally, if he came here and said he's learned from his mistakes and he wants to keep possession but play more freely and attack more, i'd accept it. (He's not on my list at all, but I'm mentally preparing myself for him coming)

Fully expecting Russell Martin to be our next manager, I quite liked him as a player, he was a bit of a rogue and was a hard hitter, so watching this to get his side. God I hope he has changed his ways if he ends up here though, his football was a snooze-fest. 

 

TBF he comes across well in that interview. At least the 20 odd minutes I've watched so far.

 

I've cringed at previous snippets, and I'm not too sure about the vegan, Buddhist, bearded hipster, glamour model girlfriend side of it. But the monks would be mostly happy!

Mehmet Ali, currently head coach of Arsenal Under 21s definitely should be on the watchlist to be our head coach. Sets up with a fluid attacking 4-3-3 formation just like Arteta does with first team. Developed likes of Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly who now part of Arsenal's first team. Rather have someone leftfield as a footpath to be one of best as the project instead of known names without due diligence that don't really fit like panic appointments of Cooper and Van Nistelrooy were.

Mehmet Ali opens up on vision for Arsenal academy after clear message from Mikel Arteta - football.london

Agree other than 5 has done well everywhere they have been. Have done there time in lower leagues. Agree about the others.

Lot of manager can do the job in the lower leagues and not be able to transfer it to the higher levels.

I actually don't think he's a bad manager.  However, he's very much in the this is my personal brand of football and I won't change it for anything.  Which works better at very elite clubs and not us.  So i hope we steer well clear

I've actually watched half of this and I didn't get as wound up as I thought I would. I'm worried now, I think I no longer care as much about things 😂😂😂

What more can you do than succeed at every level you have managed at though? And where does new blood come from if those working their way up don’t get given a chance at the next level? This is how you end up with so many foreign managers and the merry go round.

That's what bothers me. It's precisely what I expect Top likes, and in line with his previous decision-making: short-termist (if we'd have to tweak the style upon promotion; see Enzo), possession-fixated (like Puel, Rodgers, Maresca, and to a lesser extent Sven and Ruud), presentation-fixated (they love someone who looks the part, has a bit of hype behind them, and brings their own determined 'brand' of football), Southampton-centric (like Puel, the Head of Recruitment, and many of the defenders we've signed or tried to sign since we put nine past them) and would appease the players who like to believe they're budding Man City stars (i.e. the ones who were fine at a lower level, but kicked and screamed and got a manager fired when they weren't allowed to play that way at a higher level, and whom - if we had an ounce of sense - we'd be marching towards the exit door now) . Maybe we can add the Buddhism to that list now.

 

I increasingly believe that the assumption should be that it's an awful appointment as long as it has Top's fingerprints all over it. Until there's an overhaul of the club staff, I wouldn't trust any of the conclusions they come to. In fact, I'd be inclined to presume them to be horribly misguided.

Not sure Dave Challinor is fresh blood.

 

If you are 50 and nearly managed 800.

Russel Martin is exactly what King Power and Aiyawatt want a Leicester City manager to be. Sadly it will 100% be him, if he wants it.

[winteriscoming]

Top and Rudkin are so gullible to believe that Martin has turned down offers that he’ll be announced mins after Ruud goes.
