Who Do You Want To Be The Next Manager?

[changingman2000 35]

I'm not convinced aout Mancini or Deschamps to be honest, although would be more than willing to give either of them a go, considering who we have had to endure over the last eight months. Rijkaard has seemingly stated on more than one occasion that he wants to take a year out, whether thats true or not.

Mark Hughes? I'm firmly in his camp for this one.

I have to say i am very suprised that nearly 50% of people want Hughes over the other candidates, very suprising when you consider who those candidates are and what they have achieved. Hughes would do a good job i am sure but i would prefer some of the other manager ahead of him at the moment...

Do you think an owner like RA, who pretty much sacked Jose because of our "non entertainig style" would appoint Lippi? I personally would have no problems with Lippi, our previous Italians, players or managers have been great for us so it would probably work but i'm just not sure if his style would suit what Roman wants. Ranieri and Vialli are attacking entertainment minded but is Lippi? i'm not quite sure.

Lippi is very defence minded, but that suits our squad. RA has to face up to the fact that if we want to win things, we have to play 'boring football.'

It is possible to be very strong defensively and still be entertaining, it s all about having the right players and playing in the right way. To be honest i would not know what type of football to expect should we appoint Mancini or Dechamps, and even Hughes to a certain extent.

It is obvious that the club want the team to play with flair and attack minded, the new manager will be told this and will be expected to deliver, it doesn't mean that they have to have a history of producing this typoe of football, because not many teams get given the hype that the Arse, Manure and Barca get when it comes to their football.

As I say, defensive football suits the squad. Make the right changes, ie. introduce the likes of Ribery, Kaka, Van der Vaart, and the mentality of the squad changes drastically.

Completely agree, i don't think we have the players at the moment to produce the football that is aparently required. I am sure that will be changed this summer no matter who is in charge.

Speaking about whoever may be in charge, Mancini has left Inter, according to his agent. Could be a load of rubbish.

Looks authentic enough, doesn't mean he is comming here though. The media and the Bookies truly have no idea who it is going to be, a new favorite every day at the moment. At least the club are doing this quietly enough..... although we are aparently interviewing and you would have thought they would have caught wind of a few interviews happening.

I hope we dont get mancini.

Why is that?

[Badboy 1,526]

Why is that?

He does not give young players a chance. They have one of the best young players coming through their ranks mario balotelli, he is 17 every time he has played he has scored. Including agianst juve he scored 2 then mancini just leaves him on the bench for 4 games then brings him back.

Mark Hughes for me would do the trick.

He's a Chelsea fan to start with, played with passion and pride for us during his playing career, which face it he was coming to the end of when he signed for us, and he has the credentials to make the step up to managing a big team. My only question would be, could Sparky manage the ego's of the big name players like Ballack and Shevchenko?

Also as i've said before i think Sparky would bring David Bentley to the Bridge with him and that in itself would be a nice bonus.

And as for Jose coming back, come on guys get over it

Its possible, we have a lot of Brazilian connections with the amount of Brazilian and Portuguese players we have at the club. Not my ideal candidate, but he is certainly an experienced chap.

Mancini Sacked.

Jose to Inter Milan. And his task is to help them win the UCL next season.
