Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Don't really understand all of the support for viera? A good player doesn't necessarily make a good manager. People turning their noses up at McLaren who has won leagues, cups and managed around the world but wanking over a bloke who coaches the kids at Man City?

trooper 940 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Lee Charnley 20th January 2015 "First and foremost, they have to be a good coach and with a track record of developing players and giving young players a chance is important" Does Vieira fit this criterea ?

scoobos 298 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Wishful thinking I reckon. Ashley's sky sports interview is more of the same, bullshit statements that have always made. It'll be McLaren, O'Leary, George Graham in an iron lung, or Michael Appleton... Hope, just for once, my limitless pessimism of Ashley and co proves wrong.

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'd rather we got someone in with some actual managerial experience, more skintflinting from the fat controller. Someone like McClaren? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makom 0 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Aside from the lack of experience, Viera ticks all the Ashley boxes - a left field appointment, cheap, unlikely to rock the boat, and not foreign (yes, he's French, but I'm sure he's been here long enough to even be naturalised, and certainly speaks perfect English). It doesn't make sense to me if the transfer policy is going to change, but if it's staying the same.......then a French icon as manager makes perfect sense. Whether he'd succeed would be a total coin toss tbh, which would rather undermine Ashley's luck making promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30598 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Yeah, Vieria seems like the mild-mannered sort, unlikely to rock the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makom 0 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I was basing that on the fact he's apparently very intelligent, and the fact he'd be a novice manager joining a Premier League club with a very clear chain of command and a documented history of not giving a toss what the manager thinks, even club legends. Hard to see what he would gain, or even how he would win, if he started throwing his weight around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 "Not Foreign". Apart from his mother being from Cape Verde, him being born in Senegal and spending a good chunk of his life in France, he's not foreign mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noelie 103 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Well that does it. How the hell can a 2nd tier team like Derby attract and sign Clement? Well that's easy to answer isn't it, Derby aren't governed by the likes of Ashley & Cohorts. I think the tea-lady might be our best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30598 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 The league doesn't start until August. Why hire a man now and have to pay him for two months when we have no games? Think about it people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest up Fish, go on a really shitty holiday, lose your job, get dumped, gamble away all your money, wake up in a toilet several times and you'll feel fully refreshed for the new season.

Probably get away with waiting until the transfer window shuts too, don't want a head coach thinking he can bring anyone in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
