Managers in England

[manc_don]

Unfortunately I agree, it's one thing being an excellent pundit and there is no doubting his persistence and dedication, but it's a massive, massive ask. I hope I'm wrong because I like him.

[rocket_scientist]

Being human, I can make a mistake. Forecasting is extremely uncertain.

 

In this instance, I would be shocked if he succeeded in football management.

 

Agree that's he's an excellent pundit and I also like him.

 

He's just not got the personality to inspire and is not a natural leader of men.

On the subject of managers IN England, I laff at LvG.

 

It's pretty sick to laff at another's misfortune. Normally.

 

But as anyone who has worked in the North Sea for any length of time can tell you - which I haven't but its not the exclusive method by which this can be learned of course - the Dutch can be hard work. Obstinance and rigidity is a national trait and in van Gaal, he is so full of it that he's bursting hard, it's in his very essence and it appears to come through his pores.

 

An arsehole in other words. Perfect fit. I don't like MU.

Mourinho gone!

[rocket_scientist]

Mourinho under pressure. It was his blatant sexism towards the physio wot done for him.

 

Roman's stolens bought success deserves to be halted.

 

His terrible treatment of the female physio may have been the start of him losing the dressing room.

 

That's Real Madrid and now Chelsea that he's lost the respect of the players.

 

It won't affect his future employment opportunities but he does have to learn from his mistakes if he wants future success.

 

If I were Man U, I would bin LvG and take Mourinho right now, as long as during the interview chat he demonstrates the requisite humility and admits to his big ego getting in the way and ultimately alienating the very people he can't afford to alienate, his performers, the players.

As one journalist (Marcotti, I think) said some time ago of Mourinho, he only lasts around 3 years at clubs because eventually his players begin to resent him due to his lack of empathy with them, having never played the game to a level close to them.

 

I see the BEEB are linking Brendan Rogers to the job. I would love it if that happened.

 

Love it even more if he bought Joe Allen in the January window...

Not exactly managers IN England but talking of managers OF England...

 

Gary Neville is going to fail at Valencia.

 

Of this there is zero doubt.

 

Valencia still haven't won a league game under him, I'm pretty sure but not 100% certain. With failing to beat Las Palmas at home in the cup tonight, getting beat in the next game may spell the end of this charade, this experiment that was predictably catastrophic. He may not even last to the summer, the end of his short abortion of a contract.

[BobbyBiscuit]

Van Gaal's jacket has surely dropped off the shoogly peg and is now being trampled on the floor.

 

Another defeat at home, another goalless performance with only one shot on target and his team has scored the same amount of league goals this season as wretched Sunderland.

 

Even van Gaal, the arrogant, stubborn van Gaal must admit his 'philosophy' isn't working and in retrospect never even got off the ground.  He has bought poorly but expensively. Time to go surely?

[rocket_scientist]

Valencia beaten at home by Sporting Hee Hon.

 

How the fuck Neville got the job was beyond me.

 

How he's not been sacked yet, incredible.

Man City confirm Pellegrini leaving in the summer to be replaced by Pep.

You've got to think that Man United have fucked up big time not moving for Pep, would have been the ideal candidate to recover from the past couple of years.

Wonder if they will go for Pellegrini instead?

Not sure about that. Undoubtedly a superb coach etc, but in the two jobs he's had so far he's walked into already successful sides needing little work done to them.  That certainly isn't the case at United where a full overhaul is required.

You could well be right there, I was only looking at it from the perspective that he's a top coach who would bring a more exciting attacking style of play which seems to be what the man united fans are crying out for, I've no idea how he'd get on gutting the current squad and building his effectively from scratch.

 

[rocket_scientist]

Pellegrini is shite.

 

You only need eyes in your head to see this.

 

Fuck that cunt fae Chile. Total charlatan.

 

The proof will be in who employs him next and how little - like zero - he will ever win.

[rocket_scientist]

Man C guaranteed EPL winners 2016/17.

 

That's the value of a competent manager.

 

Pep is excellent and his budget will be adequate.

 

With an absence of talent in the management to challenge him, game over.

[rocket_scientist]

Valencia beaten by Real Betis now, who draw level on points.

 

This has got relegation written all over it. Neville not won a league game yet and not looking capable of doing so.

Hopefully they'll end this charade tonight. Ridiculous form.

[Jute]

Two championship managers gone in 24 hours with Neil Redfern sacked from Rotherham after 4 months in charge and Paul Clement sacked after 8 months.

[manc_don]

McClaren sacked as barcodes boss. Benitez favourite to replace him. Hope they dont get their act together!

[Tyrant]

Da ken about that appointment like. Better than McLaren but he's never been in a relegation battle in his life.

Lennon leaves Bolton by mutual consent. Hasn't really had an easy ride of it down there but wonder what the chances of him ending back at Celtic are?

[rocket_scientist]

On the Neville situation, I find it totally unacceptable that my daughter sends me some wee video from Valencia tonight and I retort with Gary Neville = penis and she doesn't know what I'm on about.

 

I don't give a fuck about the Saint Joseph Las Fallas festival or fitever the fuck. But I thought I brought her up better than this, to be football-aware. Fucking cow.

Remi Garde out the door at Villa... Eric Black taking temporary charge.  Good luck with that Eric....
