The Manager

[Machiavelli]

Really? How do you qualify this bold statement?

-- Highly respected at Barcelona
-- Considered for the head coach role at Barcelona
-- Loved at Maccabi Tel Aviv
-- Recruited by Bloom

How would you disqualify it?

Its been 16 bloody weeks. Take it you changed everything in your job in that time and were 100% at the top of your game?

What's been 16 weeks? He has been here 9 months which in my calendar is a lot longer than 16 weeks!

 

[Stuart Munday]

we should judge him this time next season

He won't be here this time next season.

-- One of the most respected up-and-coming coaches on the continent
-- Training ground coming in a few weeks
-- Not been helped by injuries to attacking players this season, CMS now back, his original aim was to play Orlandi in attacking CM role and he's been on the pitch for the equivalent of about seven games this season
-- Now familiar with the Championship
-- Chopping and changing managers is a bad strategy
-- Given the number of players whose contracts are up in the summer or are returning to their home clubs, he'll be able to put together a team that we can blame him for if things really do turn sour...
-- ... which will give him the chance to try and identify a goal-scoring attacking CM, two wide players that know where the net is, and consider whether Ulloa really is the player to score 20+ goals next season, or whether we should look elsewhere
-- contacts in Spain and Barcelona, which is arguably the most likely location for quality and value

On the negative side:
-- his selections in midfield have been disappointing -- this is not something that we can blame him for today, but he's picked Andrews, Ince and JFC too many times for my liking
-- I'm genuinely unsure whether a manager as calm as Oscar is a good thing
--

This is a masterclass in grasping at straws.

Who considered him for Barcelona?? He obviously isn't that good or he would be at Barcelona!
Loved by an Israeli league team? Great would prove he may be able to do a job in the conference!
Given a chance by Bloom which he has not grasped and unfortunately he has proved inept!

Still don't see how your examples make him one of the most sort after coaches on the continent! If he was I don't think he would have come to us! I would imagine that he couldn't believe his luck that TB wanted to employ him with so little experience.

I believe Oscar to be a good man and should be given time but he really has to up his game
The football we have seen so far is just not good enough no game plan and lack of tactics we play
As he managess I want to be pushing for promotion but more importantly I want to see us play with
Some flair and more positivetey I cannot remember the last time I see a good game win or lose at the amex

This is a masterclass in grasping at straws.

I'm grasping a glass at the moment.

 

[Seagull1989]

Because the atmosphere is bad enough as it is and the OG chant is the only one everyone joins in

 

[Mutts Nuts]

It does not matter who is managing the Albion we will not get promoted untill the board make funds available for decent strikers

Great another whole season of the negative clueless football we have watched this year........great idea!

all depends on who he brings in next season
