Played in it.Has he managed in the Championship?

But seriously, I don't get the negativity. He's an unknown quantity, which Gerrard, Lampard. Smith et all most certainly aren't.
We are in a desperate positionI don't want anything to do with the awful Man City domination project. Getting excited about the prospect of nurturing their young players is pretty desperate stuff.
We will need to loan players this season, but I really hate the idea of helping them.
TureTo be fair, any manager will be a massive ****.
I agree. It’s lunacy.He's a huge risk. We have our largest parachute payment and Premier League players. Yes they played shit but there were multiple reasons for that and for us going down. The majority are PL-level players.
We need to bring someone on with some sort of experience of this league or a good level of football management. Not a complete gamble on someone who's only experience was with a Serie B team where he did an average job.
This could be the right appointment at the wrong time. Someone who needs maybe 2 or 3 seasons isn’t what we need right now. What separates us and the rest is the parachute payments and the superior players. Say what you want but I want to give it our all to bounce back ASAP. We can then rebuild etc., in the Premier League.
I hope I'm proved very very wrong if we appoint Enzo but Parker is the obvious choice. 2 promotions in 2 attempts speaks for itself.
Don’t give them ideas ffsKolo Toure.
He's 'managed' in the Championship.
He knows our players.
Perfect.
Athletic reporting that Maresca is unable to bring some support staff with him due to work permit issues.
And so it begins.
If it gets us a crop of half decent players in pronto, then I'd be OK with it. As you say, needs must.It’s sad that we’re going to end up suckling at the teat of Manchester City but needs must.
