The new manager thread

This just highlights how quickly they need all the upstairs people in place long before January. Once it’s getting run by a director of football & sporting director it should be a lot more smoother.

 

Also, I’m sick to death of hearing that we need someone experienced in battling relegation. Surely they are only “experienced” because they are shit.

Balague is regularly one of the most credible and informed journalists out there. He called Messi leaving first, he gave all the insight into the Ronaldo shenanigans in the summer, etc. If he says Emery isnt coming then it is most definitely true. I'm not worried about Emery not coming, I think we could do with an English manager and someone who knows their way round the bottom of the table.

 

I smell a cheesey chip with a hint of blue pop...

Good post.

 

Could this be the week when CT can rightly say he is getting the hang of this forum lark?

I agree with others that they really need a footballing structure in place ASAP. It’s taken far to long to bring a manager in, and the approach has seemed a bit haphazard especially if this week was the first time contacting Emery. If the options here are Emery or Howe that’s also fucking weird, it could of course be the media just making shit up but that’s a hell of a difference in terms of stature and quality. If we get Howe I’m doubtful we’d stay up tbh, the bloke was a disaster at Burnley and has only ever achieved some level of success with one club. 
 

Fwiw it does seem a bit like posturing from either the Villarreal chairman (to try and hang on to Emery) or Emerys agent (contract negotiations starting), as it just seems a weird turnaround for Emery to have discussed with the chairman, then went out of his way to not deny it to the press, only to then hours later supposedly leak to only Balague that he’s not interested.

If this doesn't go through I'm blaming @Polarboy. NOBODY should change thread titles apart from @Tom

 

🤣 Hey I left it open ended with the question mark. I even knocked on the imitation wood table I was writing it on. With regard to this Emery situation, if Balague is correct then this is a major embarrassment for Staveley and co, there's no two ways around it. The club have acted like a lad who already had a girl coming home with them, who then scares her off by wittering on about how much he can dead-lift for an hour. Although I see Keith Downie is saying it could still happen and that the club still see Emery as their number one target, so maybe Ballbag got his wires crossed, or Emery and or Villarreal are just trying to get more money. Surely the club wouldn't make it be known that he was still their number one target if they didn't think they could get him through the door. It would just make the eventual rejection even more embarrassing, and make the second choice look like someone you took home with the beer goggles on. But maybe it is just a case of amateur hour at the club at present.

If we end up with Eddie Howe that’s tragic tbh :lol: Not just because I think he’s a fairly shit manager, but also because he could have been appointed day 1 and it’ll have took them a month to end up with him.
