Sometimes, I think fans just want a foreign Manager. His record is nothing to shout about and still so much unknown. 

I can see people are spinning this into a lot of positives though, but I don't think this is a particularly inspired appointment. 

 

I will support him, but there are a few red flags for me. Let's all hope something clicks with him and the squad. 

Who would have been your top realistic pick and i will find you three red flags.

Didn't RVN beat Cifuentes' QPR 6-2? Bodes well. Hopefully just the difference in quality between a PL side and a Championship one!

Yeah massively different resources 

[Turtle27]

Disappointed when I first heard, thought about it, slept on it and now I’m positive about it. Could be a good fit 🤞

[Jazzy_Jeff]

Here is who he brought in last summer. No-one from PL/EFL senior squads and bar the gk all younger players. We need to go back to unearthing talent rather than lazy purchases of players that no one else wants.

Yeah actually RVN's United smashed us twice, means nothing does it? 😂 He's still useless.

On Board a bit more now. Worked his way up, started managing at 30/31, similar trajectory as Potter, done reasonably well at QPR. A bit worried how it ended there. Just hope we back him with a few signings.

Potter had way more success in scandinavia and made waves in Europe which alerted clubs in  bigger leagues. Cifuentes hasn't really achieved anything in any role that would alert you to the fact that he's a quality manager.

Good watch, would be well up for this.

good watch that, if it is MC the likes of RIcky P, JJ or Aluko could have a massive influence in the team

They’re about the same aren’t they really? Both have done a decent job with a load of shit. 

I prefer the look of Rohl's background, learning from some significant managers at big clubs.  Marti has gone another way and taken on manager roles himself at smaller clubs. 

[Bob Weasel Fox]

I would prefer Rohl to be fair

Agreed. Reminds me of Sousa's appointment.

tbh i think a good number probably would,but MC is certainly a better alternative compared to the others linked

Has he "distanced himself" yet?

[Mickyblueeyes]

I don’t know, don’t know much about him but looking at his past, he’s not really a stand out. We are by some distance his bigger ever job. The expectancy very different from other roles he has had. He’s never exceeded expectations and seems to manage well in patches. 
 

On paper, dare I say it, Wilder and O’Neil have achieved significantly more. Not that I’d want either. 
 

If he does get it, I’ll be slightly nervous.

Their jobs in Scandinavia are pretty incomparable. Potter spent 7 years with one club building them to where they went from the Swedish 4th tier to 5th in the top and a European knockout game. Cifuentes spent a total of 4 years at 3 different clubs, in 3 different countries. Achieving what was set out and moving on each time. 

 

It's kind of like comparing what Phil Parkinson has done at Wrexham to what Enzo done here. 

[Skidmark]

How the mighty have fallen.

 

This has got Sousa vibes written all over it.

 

It was dead simple. Bring in a proven manager with a record of promotion, get promoted, then bring in someone else to take the club forward. 
 

We will never learn. Deserve everything that's coming for the club.

Seems to play the sort of football players would enjoy but seems like a big step up job wise to what he’s had before.

 

At least it’s got me feeling optimistic compared to if we were to appoint Wilder/O Neil but it’s a huge gamble compared to bringing in someone like Dyche.

[FrankieADZ]

I dont get why people think experience is the be all and end all; 

you can have experience up the ying yang and still be a woeful manager at certain clubs

Only player over 25 was a reserve keeper? GERRIMIN

Haha Roy is very emotional on Twitter

Wonder if we’ll hear this is done today, or a new name comes out.
