Koke Posted 29 March 2007 Share Posted 29 March 2007 no fan is ever bored with a winning team. Was it Bryan Robson or Gary Megson who once got WBA promoted with something like eighteen 1-0 wins in the league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazza Posted 29 March 2007 Share Posted 29 March 2007 Hoddle of the three as his sides at least play decent football, but preferably none of the above. I'd sooner stab myself in the eye than listen to Bryan Robson everyday in the local media, plus he spent a fair bit at both Boro and West Brom, and got both relegated, and even though he's shown he doesn't need money after getting Bradford relegated without it, i might just pass on him. Souness is just a cock of the highest order, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree met Souness at the Dubai World Cup when he was Newcastle manager complete cock and a mouth like a sewer, especially when there was ladys about he was a disgrace! Personally id go for Hoddle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookwhaticando Posted 29 March 2007 Share Posted 29 March 2007 Hoddle was on SS yesterday as an "expert" on the England game and you must admit he knows what he is atalking about. His one "failure" may have been Wolves but that doesnt make him a shite manager. I hope we get him in as I can honestly see him attracting the right players to the club and moving the club on. I still don't want Hoddle, he's still a first rate plank. His win ratio at Wolves wasn't exactly shit hot (~36%) but his points per game was about 1.51 (although he earned many more draws than wins, so if you fancy lots of 0-0 and 1-1 then he's your man). His points per game ratios is lower at other clubs - ranging from 1.3 to 1.4 mostly. His win ratio is usually quite steady, shy of 40%. Sounds like a bit of a draw specialist. Still, drawing all the time makes a nice change from losing to dross all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatbloke Posted 29 March 2007 Share Posted 29 March 2007 A chairman with a big ego will wan`t a "big name" manager, I have thought all along when I read all the Kelly out posts, be careful what you wish for, you might just not like what you get !!

I'd love eighteen 1-0 wins in the league please. i couldn't care less whether we're exciting or not. I think I'd rather see promotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows what he would have done at Wolves had there previous bosses hadnt wasted away so much cash! Those stats arent that bad, winning one game in every 3 and drawing plenty but the facts are that this is actually seen as a failure in his career, arguably the only one on his CV having done well at Swindon, Chelsea and England (relatively).

Mort Posted 29 March 2007 Share Posted 29 March 2007 ...careful what you wish for, you might just not like what you get !! True, but no one wants a cretin who cant even keep a team of professional athletes fit and motivated as the manager of a serious football team... a manager with a "big name" isnt a must, dont think anyone is keen on having a manager with a "big name" simply for the sake of it... Someone high-profile would be nice, but someone competent is a start and a massive improvement, and i think thats how most people think to be honest.

Didn't he also get sacked for being shit at Tottenham? I'd call that a failure. He didn't manage 1.4 points per game at Tottenham (39% wins). Nor at Chelsea (34% wins). In terms of points per game... he did better at Wolves than all other clubs bar Swindon. Interesting that his time at Wolves is seen as a failure yet his time at Chelsea was considered a success (where he won fewer games and drew even fewer). So... actually... by his Wolves time being classed as a failure, he's basically been a failure since 1993. I'm inclined to agree, I think he's crap. I don't want him here.

I admit that Hoddle hasnt won loads and is a bit of a nearly man having got to a few cup finals with different clubs but he took Swindon into the Premiership which is an amazing feat, kept Southampton up against all the odds and started the ball rolling with Chelsea. He also helped England to qualify for a major event, something that Graham Taylor didnt managed, Sven only just managed and McClaren is making a balls up of. I dont think he is the messiah (PMSL where is that faith healer) but I can see him doing a good job at Leicester ahead of whats available. Also, managers abilities seem to be like England strikers at the moment. A few years ago there were loads of options but now there sint much about. No names stand out in the lower leagues and even some of the managers in jobs in the Championship and Premiership are IMO not upto it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo V Posted 29 March 2007 Share Posted 29 March 2007 Dave Jones. I think I'm about to update my bandwagon. I cant remember who else failed in my lifetime but Im sure we missed out on two big soccer events in the last 14/16 years or so? As for Dave Jones, he is a decent manager but getting him to leave Cardiff wont happen IMO. Another failed Wolves manager BTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah my point was Sven managed to get us to three tournaments... not just the one, which you sorta-implied. His qualification record is superior to Hoddle's. Academic really because we don't have any world class players. ----- PS: Note the signature. :thumbsup: And it was Graham Taylor who failed to get us to a tournament, was it not? 94 World Cup would have been the tournament in question. He's a name occasionally mentioned when it comes to managers to. Frightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
