The difference is Sousa inherited a squad of players that were only really capable of playing a more direct brand of football. Pearson overachieved getting that team into the play-offs in my opinion. Maresca will have players that will have played at a technically higher standard of football as well as several players that he will want to bring in.

The Doctor Posted 15 June 2023 Share Posted 15 June 2023 4 minutes ago, Lionator said: No because the circumstances are completely different and Paulo Sousa has turned out to be a highly competent manager since indicating that we were the problem. Eh, he was the problem, made a lot of mistakes in preseason that scuppered him. What that indicates is he learnt from his mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In just fourteen words you anger all bald men (who probably make up about 95% of this forum) and insult Cambiasso's head. Way to win friends and influence people!!

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 15 June 2023 Share Posted 15 June 2023 The smaller, more portly Pep MK2 has a very slim CV. I'm not saying 'no'. But it feels like a bit of a punt to me. He's apparently not where Arteta was when he headed south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that we will be far more likely to have the players to play a more technical style of football this time around.

To be fair I know vardy didn't get along with him when he was a player because he felt like he was trying to take over as a coach but if he actually was a coach they might have a different relationship 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppys Love Child Posted 15 June 2023 Share Posted 15 June 2023 11 minutes ago, One Arm Babba said: It does smack of desperation from both parties. Let’s assume he goes back there and wins the Scottish treble again, he’s going to be looking for a move back to the premier league asap. Celtic are either incredibly naive, or are locking him in to a contract he can’t break. Or even just the league. It's the perfect "reputation repair patch" for brand Todgers and his ego. Look how brilliant I am - I'm still elite and I told everyone the shit show at Leicester wasn't my fault, and it was everyone else that was to blaim. Chuck in a few BS interviews of how well he's been supported ( even if not) to move the team forward and further highlight his biggest gripe/ excuse of lack of funds for his failure here and reinforce the it wasn't me narrative. I still detest the odious little fraud even now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t be shocked if Vardy’s attitude and view of how Cambiasso conducted himself will have changed over the years 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if this fella takes a long time to successfully implement his way of playing? I'm hoping that it doesn't take as long as it did with Arteta. I'm hoping that the outcome is difference due to the difference in level that Maresca will be dropping down to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big difference is Arteta had a lot of players he needed to ship out, and had to take time to bring his own players in which took a significant period of time. Maresca will be able to shape the squad far more quickly working with Glover, as seven players have already left the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjcW Posted 15 June 2023 Share Posted 15 June 2023 There's no one on our 'realistic targets' list who it either wont go very well or very badly with. That's why it's not worth worrying about it this stage. Personally i'd rather someone with his background than some of the others on the list. Especially as I think it could see a real change in style of play which we so desperately need. At the end of the day if he loses 6 out of 8 he'll be gone and we will move on, it's not ideal but this situation isn't ideal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
