The New Manager Thread

[Shaggy]

I bet he smokes dope.

[Fan65]

What about Martin Jol?

He's a good manager and takes no nonsense

OK so he fell out with the owners at Spurs, that's not hard these days

[Shaggy]

He can't even win the Dutch league with Ajax.

He's no Steve McClaren

I think I was the first one who woted for Bilić in this thread :P for the exact same reasons that Maxiedge has already given; his charisma, there's just something special about him (but still nowhere near Mourinho's arrogance and basically just being a total prick). Yes he's very inexperienced, but he knows the modern game really well, and don't forget, he was also Croatia's manager at the EURO 08 where they played excellent attacking football and were so unlucky in their defeat versus Turkey (selecting young Rakitić and Modrić to take penalties under pressure at such an important match was probably his biggest mistake then), so maybe judging him based on these world cup qualifiers is a bit unfair, especially given the fact that the group was far from easy.

Thank **** he got the Wolfsburg job before Rafa left.

Is there any way of re-setting this poll to get rid of those who have already been ruled out? Would be interesting to see where the Hiddink votes would be re-allocated....I think I'd go for O'Neill now, ahead of Hodgson, despite the club's previous run-ins with O'Neill and my dislike of the way his teams play. He'd get us straight back in the top 4 and I don't feel as confident that Hodgson would do the same.

[Shaggy]

Kenny and MON can't stand each other though, can't see that happening.

Thank ****.

Only lost it by a point, and Ajax goal difference was 86

I know...he still didn't win it though.

He's obviously a decent coach but he ain't got the credentials for us.

Mind you nor has Hodgson...

[Neil Young]

single transferable vote?

Purslow wants to appoint Cameregg so we can have massive cuts in the playing staff.

IAFN

Would never have been my first choice, but he's done a great job at every club that he's managed and would get the results. Wouldn't be pretty to watch though.

Is it true that they can't stand each other? Does that go back to playing days, or while he was at Celtic?

[calvoboy]

single transferable vote?

I'm happy to consider any number of alternative vote systems - shall we have a referendum?

I'm with Dalglish on this one.
