If You Could Pick Our New Manager

[Blue Blood]

Mourinho or Ranieri.

Two managers with bags of personality and a head for tactics and transfers.

[dazby]

Paul Jewell.

[dikdik]

Martin O'Neil touched by the hand of Clough...

[The Original Special One]

People have been proclaiming Hiddink the greatest coach in World football
But he failed badly with Russia.
Dutch coaches, since the great Rinus Michels, more often flatter to deceive.

Mourinho has the pedigree and he's the comon sense to know that you start with your defence
And once you get that right you can work on the entertainment

[Chopper]

I want.....

Well I do not know why this needs another thread - seems a weak and transparent way of breaking the rules - but please please not that shallow egotist Jose - the 'project' would have some shine for a year - we would hear a lot about him and then it would be set back several years - people are so easily tempted to give up the long term domination for a short term bit of gloss

So who do you reckon suitable for this long term domination? So far, no manager has achieved it if not Taggart with the scum, all the other big clubs have changed managers often, or haven't been that successful, like Wenger at Arsenal or Rafa at Liverpool (and he's not been there that long after all, what is it, four years?). Chelsea, Barca, Bayern, Real Madrid, Juventus, Milan, Inter, every big club has changed manager, for a reason or another, every two or three seasons, with the exception of Milan which kept Ancelotti for seven years I think, and not all of those seven years have been successful.

Has anyone actually looked at Hiddink's club record?
It's not that impressive, people are judging him on his achievements with Australia and South Korea - why?

BEcause the press says he is good so he must be.

If we could pick there woudl be two options

Wenger, first choice by a mile.
Mourino (but it wouldn't take long before people were complaining about boring football).

There isnt many about is there?

[avoidconfusion]

Mourinho
Hiddink
Mancini
O'Neil
Rijkaard
Van Gaal

Maybe not all available but every single one of them better than Hughes. I'm sure one of them would be tempted.

This lost minus Rijkaard who I don't rate at all. My grandma could have managed that Barcelona team.

No, Mancini for some reason is still unemployed, Van Gaal is having trouble at Bayern, Riikard has took Galtasery on one of there worst seasons for years, Hiddink is unproven at club level (he was only at Chelsea a short time and basically got an established team playing well again, as will international football). Also if he really does want to stick with International teams you would have to question whether he would even want to manage a club.

[avoidconfusion]

Van Gaal had problems in Bayern but does not have problems anymore. They destroyed Juventus in the Champions League and then battered Bochum 5:1 and are now 3rd in the League only 2 points behind 1st.

I have to say though I'd much rather have Schalke's coach (Felix Magath) who got Bayern the double (League title and Cup) two years in a row (first time in the Club's history) only to be sacked anyway. Then he went to Wolfsburg, had a lot of money to spend and won the title with them.

Now he is managing a young Schalke side, has hardly any money to spend and they are still 2nd in the League. Top top manager.

Maybe Mancini has not been offered anything he considers suitable being the reason for his continued unemployment and Rijkaard has taken Gala into the next phase of the Europa and at the moment has them 2nd in the table after the season Gala finished 4th.Van Gaal has Bayern in 3rd two points behind the leaders with plenty of games to go how is any of that a failure?
Clueless started in international management and it was after that he got BB overachieving so much apparently and Hiddink has already proved what he can do with good players so why shouldn't people want him.

What about getting,Olympiakos manager,or Stuttgart,Porto? Hell even CSKA.

[Fish111]

Mourinho.

Hiddink a close second.

We should be sounding out Jose now and if we don't get positive vibes then Hiddink should be appointed asap.

Agreed, but i would be willing to wait for Mourinho until the summer.

Still all of them miles better manager than Hughes. I don't think anyone can argue against that.

Absolutely. Some people were saying ridiculous stuff like "look, he didn't go to Sunderland". Why would man with his experience of success and managing in a big club go to Sunderland or Blackburn?

I really genuinely hope we appoint Mancini after Hughes. Young, experience of spending money, experience of winning stuff, experience of managing big egos, experience of getting best out of players he has got, tactically astute and young. He could, and in my opinion would, be our Wenger.

Doesn't that raise the question, if he is so good why have none of the bigger clubs gone for him?
