D-Day for Ollie

[The Old Fox]

What exactly is the Mandaric manager profile?

In his time at Leicester and Portsmouth he's appointed young up and coming managers, older experienced managers, managers with top division experience, managers with no experience, foreign managers etc, and only one has worked out. And he wasn't even appointed with the idea of making him manager.

My reading of the man is that he really likes the flash smooth talker (Redknapp in his earlier days, Allen and Holloway) who promise attractive, attacking football, but that he can be persuaded by the exact opposite the dour Warnock, Megson types as long as they have a string of successes.
Grayson is nearer to the latter but, I am not convinced that he has the CV to convince Milan.

Eagley awaiting potentional manager (eg Ince/Grayson) to either resign or publically state hes unhappy. Common knowledge here in Blackpool that Grayson is privately at loggerheads with his Chairman re funding

Jim Smith it is then.

I'm surprised to find that there is anybody who feels that Manadaric has any real idea what he is looking for.

I didn't say that Milan is aware of the fact. Indeed, one could argue from his rapid disillusionment with his managers once they are in place, that he is unaware of the ticks that persuade him to make his choices. He is seduced by promises that he doesn't really believe.

I wonder if you are talking about Howard? If so, surely any manager is under pressure to play an expensive signing?

 

[BOB HAZELL]

.....surely any manager is under pressure to play an expensive signing?

Yes, LF - under pressure from all.....

Open or closed question BH:-
