[Archived] Next manager

[patrickvalery]

Would anybody like to see a management team of Sven, Faz, Tugay as first team coach.

Yeah i imagine Sven would love to see that. Not sure that many others would be delighted.

[gumboots]

See above. Wouldn't care who he brought with him. If it were up to me his CV would already be in the bin. Never could see what he brings to management, especially at a club in our situation

+100.

I seem to remember us going for Eriksson like ten years ago?? I think he pied us and went to Lazio or something.

I think Eriksson would actually be a good choice, far worse on the list. He has a ridiculous CV, and I thought he had a shocker at Leicester but it wasnt too bad especially the first season. He left with them sitting two points off the playoffs

With us he would have the best squad in the division. If we got him I'd be pretty confident of promotion.

Anyone else showing up with an honours list like this(takin from wiki, but think its accurate):

Degerfors IF

• Division Three Västra Svealand (1): 1978
  

IFK Göteborg

• Allsvenskan (1): 1982
  
• Svenska Cupen (2): 1979, 1982
  
• UEFA Cup (1): 1982
  

Benfica

• Portuguese Liga (3): 1983, 1984, 1991
  
• Cup of Portugal (1): 1983
  
• SuperCup Cândido de Oliveira (1): 1989
  
• European Cup: 1990 (Runner-up)
  
• UEFA Cup: 1983 (Runner-up)
  

Roma

• Coppa Italia (1): 1986
  

Sampdoria

• Coppa Italia (1): 1994
  

Lazio

• Serie A (1): 2000
  
• Coppa Italia (2): 1998, 2000
  
• Italian Super Cup (2): 1998, 2000
  
• UEFA Cup Winners' Cup (1): 1999
  
• UEFA Super Cup (1): 1999
  
• UEFA Cup: 1998 (Runner-up)
  

England

• FA Summer Tournament (1): 2004
  

The last achievement of any note whatsoever on that list was over 12 years ago.

No way to Sven.

[patrickvalery]

I think Sven was the first of the new breed of lovey-dovey managers who treat their players with affection and respect. At first it was a novelty and lots of his ex-players probably performed for him on that basis. But these types are ten-a-penny nowadays and i think Sven has been found out. I would be very disappointed if he got the gig.

Like the sentence: While we are in a hurry, we won't rush into things.

We could have some competition as Owen Coyle is expected to be sacked today.

Sven and Jerome go back a long way.

Anderson's role in the recruitment of Eriksson became public when Eriksson's own agent, Athole Still, appeared unaware that discussions were taking place; then on the day Eriksson was unveiled as City's manager, Anderson publicly discussed the scale of the job required at City. After that, he marshalled his energies and contacts book to help deliver the players.

Seems to have a history of being involved in dodgy or ignorant owners. Over paying for players. etc etc.

QPR Board to meet to discuss Hughes' position. Yessssssss!

[Blue n White Rover]

Burnley will soon have a vacancy too. Howe to Bournmouth is very much live as we speak.

Tony F was on talkshyte this morning and said Hughes is going no where at the moment.

Hughes stock is very very low. A saying about barge poles springs to mind

Really? I would be amazed if that happened.

............Thats Hughes looking for another job then.

See Manchester City.

"At Manchester City, between £5 million and £7 million was reported to have been paid in commission to Anderson as part of the recruitment of eight new players in the weeks following the takeover of the club by Thaksin Shinawatra May 2007.Anderson advised Shinawatra on the takeover, introducing him to Keith Harris (whose firm, Seymour Pierce, handled the deal) and recommending as manager Sven-Göran Eriksson, before his influence waned as the new owners balked at such payments and other figures –notable Kia Joorabchian and Pini Zahavi– became involved"

Sven, also involved at Notts County...

No. No Sven for me thanks very much.

I suspect if Coyle is sacked today Bolton will move quick to get in another manager because I think they will know exactly who they want. I can see someone like McCarthy getting the job.

He seems to be the current favourite for us but Andy C in the LT is saying the brothers want someone who shares their passing football philosophy so I guess that rules him out.

I have changed my mind about 4 times who I want as manager and today I think I would want OGS. He has a balance of some experience and he will bring fresh ideas to the table.

Yes, I can't see them going for a young manager again this time, I imagine they'll get an older experienced head who has got teams out of this division already.

I wonder which will be the most sought after job, ours or the Bolton one?

[Blue n White Rover]

Keep an eye out on that situation. Bournmouth have some money behind them and Howe is interested, regardless of what he says in his press conference. Interesting one to say the least.

[LeChuck]

Just had a look at Sven's record....his win percentage is bloody good actually, I'm surprised it's so high. He's only dropped below 40% at one club, that was Fiorentina back in the eighties.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sven-G%C3%B6ran_Eriksson

He's definitely not my first choice, but I think we could do a lot worse.

I'd have him back in a heart beat!!!!!!!!!!!

Good question.

I guess from the outside looking in we have spent a lot more money than Bolton and you could say that the owners have shown loyalty to the worst manager in our history so the new guy will be thinking he will get time.

On the other hand Bolton seem a hell of a lot more stable than what we do.

If we both go for the likes of McCarthy and Curbs then I think they would choose Bolton over us because they know exactly what they are getting themselves into.

Bolton want Big Sam back if paper talk is to be believed.

The funny thing about Sven is that his agent has been in touch with Shebby touting his clients. I'd be surprised if Sven wasn't one of them.

Hmm, Redknapp back to Wham, Allardyce back to Bolton, could actually see that happening.
