Lacks experience but so did McKenna when Ipswich appointed him . Rosenior has done a great job at Hull. He wouldn't be expensive either. Moyes although he has the experience, He has a different style of play to what we're currently following. Do we really want to change again so soon. Rosenior did a great job at Derby where Rooney got credit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone saying Moyes needs to add their credentials to their post. If the answer is 'watched Match of the Day twice this season' then they should be banned.

pkonline Posted 23 May Share Posted 23 May Look at what Palace and Bournemouth have done - look abroad and get an upcoming exciting manager that most have never heard of. It'll also be a lot cheaper. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysalis Posted 23 May Share Posted 23 May (edited) 6 hours ago, Mike Oxlong said: If we end up with Russell Martin I’ll be invoicing the club for my resulting therapy I really dont get it, some fans seem to crave it as if they think its next level football or something. No way would Martin be a success in the EPL, he is a head case, the players cant handle his system, he is straight to shouting them out in post match interview. We dont have the squad for it or the money to create the squad for it, but some just dont understand that. We need what some would call a "boring" manager that knows what he is doing in the EPL, and then only after at least a couple of years of that would consider change.

The only way they probably cottoned on to Enzo was that first Southampton were interested in him and he turned them down and then Celtic wanted him when Ange left.

Chrysalis Posted 23 May Share Posted 23 May Talking of ceilings we won the EPL playing counter, cant get much higher then that, not to mention clearing 100 points on promotion 2 seasons before it with Pearson on a much smaller budget. Style of play has no proven affect on ceilings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you want an echo chamber. Moyes Moyes Moyes. Lets see if I get banned. I am ok for opposite opinions, but people who are acting like Moyes is some kind of disgusting worst case option, I think should back it up with reasoning. Even if its they just like tippy tappy football, or they prejudice against age or whatever, give some reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM1968 Posted 23 May Share Posted 23 May 3 hours ago, ClaphamFox said: Plenty of teams have been promoted while playing the kind of possession-based style that Enzo favours and then survived in the PL while continuing to play that style. Brighton, Fulham and Bournemouth are all recent examples. It doesn't always work - eg, Burnley - but quite often it does. Enzo has said on a number of occasions that his style of play is specifically designed to succeed in the PL. We played the way we did last year because he wanted the players to get used to playing in the way that he believes will give us the best chance of re-establishing ourselves as a PL club. Our difficulties in the Championship invariably came against teams that played a low block and showed little attacking intent - we are unlikely to face those kind if tactics very often in the PL. We'll have less possession but more space to attack, which will suit us - our best performances last season all came in games where the opposition had a go at us, which pretty much all PL teams will. Yes, we need to improve the team in a number of areas, but with intelligent recruitment that will be possible. With a few smart buys in key positions I think we will have enough to stay up next season and move on from there. Now, please explain why Enzo's style of play is 'doomed to failure' in the PL. Because we haven’t got the players and won’t make the smart buys necessary. You also contradict what you are saying. Possession based football is about having the most possession. You quite clearly say we won’t. So surely we need to think of something else? Anyway, we keep Enzo and play his style come back to me after a couple of months. Doomed mate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StriderHiryu Posted 23 May Popular Post Share Posted 23 May (edited) If not already mentioned, then Carlos Cuesta, the Arsenal no.2: "Cuesta, who began coaching at Atlético Madrid in 2014 as an 18-year-old, is believed to be open to working with Knapper again after building a strong relationship with him at Arsenal. Several other Championship sides are also thought to have shown an interest in Cuesta taking over in the summer, although Arsenal are believed to be determined to resist any approaches. Cuesta is one of Arteta’s closest confidantes and has been credited with helping to transform Arsenal into title contenders through his role as individual development coach, with a heavy focus on improving tactical understanding." https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/feb/15/arsenal-no-2-carlos-cuesta-norwich-manager-championship Arsenal play a very similar style to us, only better. Playing out from the back, attacking number 8's, tricky wingers. Look what he did to Saka, and he is known for working 1-1 with him. This would mean that the squad overhaul would be minimal, and he'd probably stick with us if we got relegated. He would have time to build a young and exciting squad in the same way that Enzo started out doing. Edited 23 May by StriderHiryu 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His body of work with Bordeaux was remarkable, and he did well with PSG (I know that's not saying much but still have to manage all those egos). I like his style of football/ van Bronckhorst did well at first with Rangers, but after the Europa League final, it was a disaster. I do like the work he did with Feyenoord though, especially as financially they can't quite compete with Ajax and PSV. Lucien Favre is a good shout to be honest. Been linked with us before too. Steve Cooper is probably one of the more realistic ones, and we know he can manage in the Premier League. He will get supported here too rather than be worrying about being sacked by a megalomaniac of a chairman! Edited 23 May by Incognito 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
