Young Progressive Manager or Experienced?

[kingfox]

Young & progressive might be the way forward.

Just look at the Championship this season, McClaren & McCarthy aside, all the other managers in the top six are basically just starting out. Howe still only 37 has done a remarkable job with Bournemouth, Jokanovic has only started consistently managing for two years, Karanka is in his first proper managerial job, Neil remarkably only 33 and has turned Norwich fortunes around, while Warburton like Karanka is in his first managerial role.

If you look lower down, Rowett did tremendously well at Burton now getting a chance with Brum, Gary Bowyer doing a solid but unspectacular job at Blackburn, while there is of course Neil Lennon.

League 1 & 2 you have the likes of Karl Robinson, Lee Johnson & Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.

None of the play-offs managers will leave though, but have liked what Rowett, Johnson & Hasselbaink have done recently, possibly a punt worth taking.

Why does Karl Robinson's name get mentioned ever? He's done absolutely fvck all.

[stillwater]

We all know we are down so IMO get rid now, give the new manger the remainder of the season to get to know our club so that.

We can hit the ground running next year in the championship.

I think ex footballers as managers will end up being a thing of the past. Your 'Arry Redknapp types who by his own admission aren't clever enough to know how to switch on a computer and has a vocabulary that's frequently uses like "top, top player" are dinosaurs in today's game.

 

You just have to look at the Peter Taylor types who didn't know the value of money and would have spent every penny you gave him. Buying players with no long term strategy of what he wants from his team in the future, vastly improving contracts of younger players who all ended up not good enough to get in the first team. Giving players who were finished like Denis Wise contacts for far too much and far too long as they took their pensions from Leicester City. A lot of ex players are too thick and have no concept of value.

 

Managers in the future will be in the Mourhino type mould. Educated in sport science to degree level and have been employed with a football club on the coaching staff from their early 20's and proven themselves to know the game with ideas of their own and tactically astute.

 

The Middlesbrough manager seems to have this background. I'm not saying we should target him specifically as he probably wouldn't come but lets get someone like this rather than the same old manager on the merry go round.

Wasn't he an ex player?

"Young progressive". You mean the sort of manager that would need time to build a squad? Really, it's no better option that our current situation.

 

What exactly is being 'built' here now? That argument's been shot to pieces now unfortunately. We've got the oldest team in the league.

He's one of the biggest frauds going. He should've had that lot promoted years ago.

Agreed, been at MK Dons five years and has done nothing more than they achieved when we were there with them under Di Matteo for one year after promotion.

[MHC]

I would actually be chuffed if we got Paul Lambert, performed a miracle at Norwich and he knows how to keep a team in the Premier League. He would be a massive improvement on Pearson, get him in!

[nettle]

I'd get Hoddle in plays good football he must have one good job left in him. We could suit him everything is in place to change the philosophy of how we play instead of watching hoofball every week.

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

The question is what is best for City?

A young progressive manager like Eddie Howe for example ( not that he would come here!)

A an experienced manager who has been their and done that at both the championship and in the prem ( Big Sam?)

"Big Sam," but I doubt he would come here.

[Tuna]

I'd break the bank to get Big Sam. He's from Dudley so we'd be a bit closer to his roots. Not sure whether he'd come though.

 

First signing...Kevin Nolan!

[lifted*fox]

The "put Cambiasso in charge" idea seems to be gathering pace.

 

Why? Just because he's played football with big teams and consistently at a high level does not give any guarantees whatsoever that he can transfer that to being able to manage a team successfully.

 

This, this, this and more this. 

 

Honestly, I seriously wonder if some people think before they put things like this. 

[Guest]

It must be easy to manage a team and win every game. I'm not sure why EVERY manager doesn't win EVERY game (especially when it's all in the manager's hands).

[Guest MattP]

A manager who knows the Championship and has had previous success in the division.

The Championship eats 'name' managers for breakfast and spits them out.

[Babylon]

I would like to see someone like the lad from mk Dons, but with a old experienced head as his number two.

Really don't get why he gets touted so often for jobs, one of the biggest budgets in that league and has constantly fallen short.

[Babylon]

I'd get Hoddle in plays good football he must have one good job left in him. We could suit him everything is in place to change the philosophy of how we play instead of watching hoofball every week.

 

It does make me laugh that there are so many people who slaughter Pearson about everything... then trot out stuff like this themselves. What the hell has Glen Hoddle done in the last decade to warrant getting one more job, let alone give people confidence he could be good at it.

 

I'd see how the championship season pans out and who goes up / stays down.

**** Hoddle, still not forgiven him for Joachim's red at Swindon away..... & his non-stop hounding of ref at Wembley trying to get players carded

[Max Power]

Agreed.

 

His agent definitely puts the yards in.

[Ollie93]

Some suggestions on here can't be serious? Out of available managers we are trying to pick someone who is the best of a bad bunch.

 

I'd love to see Big Sam, but realistically after the season he has had with West Ham, why would he come to us?

 

Personally I'd only want someone who has the same or better credentials than Pearson, with a club of a similar stature.

[Freeman's Wharfer]

Would anyone take Poyet if Sunderland get rid?

 

Did pretty well with Brighton and had a tough job on at Sunderland. I remember reading an article from The Secret Footballer basically saying there's a culture problem at Sunderland and until they have a complete clear out it will keep on seeing them struggling regardless of who is in charge.

 

Looking around at who else is available, I think we could do a lot worse. Experienced at Championship level, has led a promotion campaign, is still relatively young and has Premier League experience.

Did a good job at Brighton yes, but left Brighton in disgrace, and will be leaving Sunderland in disgrace

 

Sign him up

[Hirsty The Blue 94]

I will stick with Nigel cheers after some of the shite names put forward here.

Only decent name touted is Big Sam, but he can command a Prem job once he leaves West Ham. How Karl Robinson gets touted for any job is beyond me, the man has bottled promotion every single season and are doing the same again this time.
