New manager thread

[Exiled_red]

Yup.

He's only 38 so he has plenty of years ahead of him to learn his trade and cut his teef.

I know I keep harping on about it, but I can only see Rafa as a suitable and realistic replacement for Kenny.

And anyone who gives it the "sentimental appointment, don't go back" guff can **** off and educate themselves.

We won't get Klopp, Mourinho or Guardiola. I can't see Capello moving to us (and sadly he's probably five years too old), I'm not too keen on AVB.

So we're left with Rafa who would demand no compensation, and then the likes of Martinez, Rogers, Lambert, Curbs etc. There's only one winner there for me.

I'd love to see Rafa back but I think there are alot of "issues" that would have to be overcome to bring him back, I'm not sure how likely it would be to happen.

I would be amazed if Rafa comes back, I think they will want a younger manager willing to work with an older DOF

I agree mate, it's difficult to not get my hopes up.

It'll be Martinez won't it.

Who would you go for moosh?

[kingfunk]

Iv made my mind up, I want AVB or Rafa!!

I agree

[malg]

This idea of a younger manager is bollocks, it would be a massive gamble and I feel one that would not pay off. Bring Rafa back the man has the skills and the desire to get us playing again.

[Kenneth]

You just know they will go with bodgeson mk2 AKA Martinez.

He loves you too

Lol gutted.

[Shaggy]

Still want Rafa but seeing as it's an impossibility I would be interested in AVB. Stitched up by those cunts at Chelsea, likes good football, ambitious....much prefer him to Martinez.

Who would I go for? Rafa and forget the DOF

I think they will go for a Martinez or AVB with someone like Cruyff or Van Gaal above them.

I just hope that they make an appointment for the long term and are being advised correctly

[Reece]

It's interesting to see so many up for the idea of AVB. I'm certainly warming to it. He's a far better manager than he was able to show at Chelsea, where lets be honest he had a bunch of cunts to deal with, who never seemed to get behind him from day one. It's hard to argue that he failed there though (although he laid the groundwork for them reaching the CL final I suppose). He'll go on to manage another club and be a success I think, so I'd not be disappointed with his appointment.

Would love Pep but doubt he can be talked out of his sabbatical.

Klopp has done really well but I must admit I don't know a great deal about him other than the obvious.

Rafa would still be my #1 choice but just don't think that'll happen.

Martinez I'm a fan of but someone like that would be a massive gamble and this summer could be a defining moment in our future so not sure it's the right time really.

Erm so yeah, **** knows

[Fredo]

The owners are up against it and they've got a hell of a challenge, judging by the amount of bile directed at them on Twitter. Honeymoon is well and truly over.

AVB was a complete failure at Chelsea. I fear that his abrasive personality won't cut it with our squad.

Fredo, where have you plucked this from?

I don't like the idea of this DOF thing. I really don't think it's of any benefit at all - we've seen that with Kenny & Comolli this season.

I just hope that they make an appointment for the long term and are being advised correctly

Who is advising them? That's the big worry. I was torn on keeping Kenny and letting him go, but the big worry is who FSG will bring in to replace him.

Martinez if he comes might be fantastic and turn us around, or he could be completely out of his depth and come this time next year we'll have another summer like this one and the last two.

then if he gets the job we'd change the squad.
