Next Coach?

I want Simeone just so he can come in and be an absolute c**t to every single little sh*thouse player we have, treat them like the pathetic little children they are and scare the living sh*t out of them.
We are dreaming of simeone and Enrique, I think we should all be prepared to be underwhelmed at best, at worse f**king fuming.

Some of the names being mentioned hardly say ‘watch out city’ do they.

If they try and be clever again we are screwed, they could easily afford a top manager without all the pay offs of bad ones.

 
Won two trophies and made top 4 in his first season. I beg you keep the same energy for the next few managers cause with how it's looking right now we aren't doing that for a while.

Asked for a CB and got given Garnacho.

How did Liam do? How will we end the season?

We're back to where we were when Poch left.

These sporting directors have blood on their hands, it's as simple as that.
We were far better under Poch in the second half of season than we ever were under Maresca.

Its great throwing headlines out without looking at the details.

He won the conference league, the third tier of European football. He didn't manage to do it unbeaten like relegation battling West Ham. We were 1-0 down in the final until Cole Palmer openly admitted he decided to ignore his instructions. This competition is more of a stain on his accomplishments than an achievement.

CWC is a celebration of a single game where he went against his playstyle and the opposition massively underrated us. Had he not been embarrassed by Flamengo in the early stages he would have been out the next round against Bayern like we saw in the CL this year. Funny that Maresca watched us play our best football against PSG then decided to go straight back to his boring football match week 1.

Top 4 was AGAIN a matter of circumstance. We couldn't have been luckier than Liverpool won the league the week before playing us and took the end of the season off and Forest fell to pieces for the last 5 games. We finished top 4 because of others failures, not his management.

The best thing these owners could have ever done was give Poch what he wanted for another season rather than saddle us with that bald idiot.

Amen.

38 points in that second half of the season, plus the positive carry over into Maresca's first season, before Maresca implemented his own tactics, nullified Palmer and Jackson, and we fell off a cliff, which we are still struggling to climb back up ...

 
Cannot believe I am saying this, but I can see Gary O'Neil in our future. Really hope not but I wouldn't put it past this board...

If we had anything about us, we'd go all in for Enrique this summer. They will not do that, and we'll end up with some nobody with a "point to prove" again.
Nope, they wont go for Gary O’Neil. He does fit the Rosenior mould with losing 0-2 and 0-3 at home the last two matches against mediocre opposition though

Seriously, what sort of fantasy world do we live in where we seriously think Simeone or Enrique would take a second look at a mid table club, in a small stadium, that hasn't mounted a seriously sustained challenge on the title for a dozen years, with Conte's 2017 success now looking like an oasis in our recent years. Similarly with TT's CL success tbf. Simeone is the highest paid manager in world football. Enrique is on the brink of being a back to back CL winners. What could possibly interest them in our failing club that these poisonous f**kwits have taken closer to the point of extinction that any Cabra Estates, Subordinated loans, Transfer bans or sanctioned ownership in our previous history.

I don't see Luis Enrique having a second thought about us, but I wouldn't put it past Simeone if he were to leave Atletico, though I think that if Inter were interested, he'd definitely go there given his relationship with that Club.

 
For the record, Maresca is a better coach than most of the candidates linked.
Laughable.

If by better coach you mean you are happy to watch some of the dullest football ever produced, yeah fine!

Just hope we appoint someone who can at least produce football that is watchable rather than sleep inducing.

 
Need a manager who can come in, lay down the law, give the players a boot up the backside (literally, I hope) and remind everyone what this club is supposed to be.

Simeone or Enrique would be the best at doing all of that. Simeone in particular appeals to me massively, we have always done well under managers with similar playing styles and personalities to his. He would be genuinely amazing to have.

Simeone is genuinely a pipe dream.

No manager worth any self respect works here.

Yeah, Siemone will never happen. Alonso I do have just a miniscule bit of hope for, just because he might look at our players and see young, impressionable players he can control, which might be tempting after his experience in Real.

Actually, let me correct myself: I WOULD have had some hope for Alonso if it wasn’t for Egbhali and his five stooges.

Oh well, I’d be surprised if he didn’t end up in Liverpool anyway

Oh to be a fly in that boardroom.

They know if they get this appointment wrong literally 70% of the squad are handing in transfer requests.

 
There are gettable names out there though and probably more after the WC.

It’s going to be telling who they get. Every other club that’s wants success starts with the manager, has that penny finally dropped with these twats, have they realised this project is not working?do they harbour any ambition to challenge for top honours or what?

The next appointment will say it all.

You imagine if they do try and hire a decent coach. So rather than another dimwit and yes-man like Potter, Maresca or Rosenoir, we do look at someone WORTHY of the job. But then in the interview, he tells them that in no uncertain terms, he cannot work with a lot of the players in the squad 'cos they are just not good enough. Tells them that he needs a new keeper, a centre back, at least one decent wide man and another striker.

Would love to be a fly on the wall and see our 5 SD's fidgeting uncomfortably in their seats and all looking to blame one another so some of our very questionable signings.

 
Tbh I still maintain that a proper manager someone mid like Glasner, given a couple of experienced players would get them organised,disciplined and a much better unit straight away.

A bit like carrick did when he took over from Amorims nonsense. We have had a couple of seasons of poxy fad football and LR just continued it.

I don’t really want a Glasner or Araola though. I’d like a bigger marque manager who sets his sights on Arsenal and City. Who players will buy into, who can attract players etc. someone I know isn’t a yes man for the club.

Indeed and on top of that, quite a few of those players handing in transfer requests are likely to sell for less than their book value, so will only increase our financial difficulties.

Big decisions ahead, get it wrong and i fear we’ll be mid-table at best the next 5-6 seasons

 
None of the coaches linked to us fill me with great confidence. Cesc is inexperienced and doing a decent job, but in a dogsh*t Serie A league. Iraola is obviously a good coach, but it's a big step up to coach Chelsea with the pressure that would be on him. Realistically, most of the coaches available are inexperienced, younger coaches. The Premier League will chew you up and spit you out if you can't handle the pressure at the top level.

I agree with you. I don't think that Glasner or Iraola are yes-men (certainly they've shown to have strong personalities when dealing with their respective boards), but at this time what this team needs is a strong character with more experience, someone like Simeone (or Mourinho if he wasn't done at this level) that can set some discipline and cojones in the dressing room, although I really don't like his football and antics. Having watched Palace and Bournemouth some times, I prefer the football they propose to that of Atletico, but the character of Simeone is more required at this point.

 
I guess when Maresca wins the league next year at City we can all have a good laugh (hopefully in the Championship).

You honestly believe City would be daft enough to appoint Maresca?!!

He was at the right level when he was at Leicester.
