KrolMong Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 There’s some no’s for me. Gerrard - shit. Lowe - would fail. If we end up with any of the following, it means there is money to spend. Smith Lage Viera Farke Carlos If we end up with either of these, it means Paixao has taken his 20%. Liebermacht Campelos If we end up with the likes of Duff and Evatt, we’ve done a good job. So, picking from each group, Lage, Farke, Duff and Evatt. I like how all of them set-up and play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Petrie Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 A very interesting write-up for Brian Barry-Murphy from the Man City site. The making of a Manager… Brian Barry-Murphy… could he? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylluan Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 He didn't exactly have the best of times as player at Hillsborough and I think that would follow him if he came back to manage. Especially if he had a rough patch. He is a good coach but he walked into a City academy system that was already set up to win and had just won PL2. What he inherited would be akin to Pep leaving tomorrow, Kompany coming in and finding all the players stayed as well. But if he brought a couple of City youth players like the ones that went to the Lane last season then it might be worth a gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyben Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Without significant investment perhaps we should become an unofficial feeder for City or Man U. Use their coaches, adopt their methods and utilise their squads to help develop young players or even older ones on loans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyben Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) In conversation recently with an ITKer and there was one Manager that turned us down in the recent past because he couldn't work with just the squad that was available to him. This was the forwards available in the squad.... Plus Windass and a decent crop of youngsters. Edited June 21, 2023 by Andyben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I don’t think a top manager needs to have been a top player. However, historically there have been a lot of good managers that were top players if not necessarily captains of their country etc. TBH though I think the game has become more about the best coaches being able to come in and coach any squad of players and be able to command respect of the players whichever way they do it. Maybe B-M could by the way he communicates and coaches and not by wowing them like maybe Rooney, Gerrard and Lampard might like to think they can.

Chelters Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Heard some good things about BBM when he was at Rochdale. Apparently he had some really progressive ideas about how to play the game and could do well with a better standard of player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no inside info on ST sales, but would be amazed if we didn’t currently sell well over 80% of our STs in the early bird phase. If we were regulars in the PL, without any ground capacity increase, and without Chansiri managing demand through Arsenal style prices, I suspect that we’d sell out the complete ground with STs.

Arsenal's are so high because they're paying for the new ground.
