Next Manager

[TornadoShaunUK]

It would be a gamble for sure but my two cents is:

a.) We took a gamble with an even more inexperienced Maresca and he has turned out to be a pretty damn good manager so far...

b.) The little managerial experience he has dad, he's literally been great in every role. League cup win and a decent finish in the table in his first season in Holland deserves credit. Solid interim showing for Man U.

Plus our record under King Power in appointing unproven managers has been damn good with Pearson and Maresca.

KP have got it right more times than they've got it wrong in general. Even Brendan you'd have to say was a good choice it just took them far too long to react when things started to turn sour a few years in.. Cooper though was a wrong un.

Pearson had managed over 200 matches before King Power appointed him. He was fairly unproven when Mandaric appointed him first time round.

I'll give you that one

I would argue King Power gave too much influence to BR and that is why it went sour?

It is easy for Potter to say no to us if he still has 3 years of his Chelsea contract to run.
He is probably picking up twice what we could pay him, so where is the incentive to immerse himself in a world of grief by having to work hard.

And work for an unqualified owner who hasn’t got a ****ing clue, and work with average players who have far too much power.

Anyone would be mad to take this job right now.

I've just had a read/listen to some Van Nistelrooy stuff.

I don't get it. What makes him a viable candidate?

He's just a name who has done very little in management.

It might as well be Lampard if this is our approach.

We need a manager with the knowledge and authority to get a tune out of a muddled and technically challenged squad.

Where is the evidence that Van Nistelrooy has this?

He did well at PSV. 51 games. Won 33, drew 10, lost only 8. 64% win average.

It's also not like he hasn't done anything until recently. He has been in and around coaching and good managers for something like 10 years now.

His Man U contract was until 2026 I wonder if that’s a sticking point

He did what was slightly above average for PSV with a group he knew very well because he'd been the youth coach for years.

He then quit before the end of his only season because those players rebelled against his methods and he fell out with staff.

Had he not had a bang average couple of weeks caretaking Man Utd, he'd be way off our radar.

What a bizarre article. If true, the emphasis is on survival at all costs except for spending on acquiring a decent manager.

Just when you think these ****wits can't get any more idiotic.
