Who Do You Want To Be The Next Manager?

[JohnK 0]

After Ten Cate leaving, I doubt that it will be Rijkaard. But right now I would like to either see Sven or Scolari take charge.

Sven? Are you joking?

Sven? Are you joking?

No, I think Sven is a very good manager. He may not be the one I want to take the job (Rijkaard). But he did a goood job in the first half of the season for City. Again he isn't my first choice, but he is an option.

[Gianfranco_Z 202]

I'd prefer Sven to Scolari any day.

[kbchel 2]

when sven was in charge of england, england did not win anything

and after 6-0 thrashing by an off form Chelsea and 8-1 by boro

you guys should reconsider

[bigbluewillie 1,871]

my top 3 are:

Mark Hughes

Mark Hughes and

Mark Hughes then..............

Ancelotti or

Klinsman

if we can't get any of them we're fucked, there's no one else of any standing, apart from the worlds best and he aint coming back.

I don't think Sven was ever a bad manager for England. We didn't do well in his last tournament because he'd already been told he was off, and because of what? An affair. The FA should have left it until after the World Cup before they decided on his future, and based it on his management.

Doesn't mean I want him here though, as you say, 6-0 and 8-1 are not good scorelines.

a good manager even on his worse day, without his best players will not like that....

look at jose...

If i'm not mistaken, rijkaard had neeskens as his number two while with the dutch national team and also at barca when HTC left..

Chelsea need continuity of managership. If they get Scolari, Mancini, it'll last max 3 years, probably less, with Abramovichs quest for instant gratification.

I would like Hughes or a 'hungry to win' younger manager be given the long term option.

The first season may be silverware free, worse than Grants season where he just sat doing fuck all, if the manger has to introduce new players. But, I'd sacrifice a season to see long term growth and success. No one thought much of Ferguson or Wengers first season, but the respective boards had the foresight to spot long term potential and the rewards of continuity of permanent stewardship

I'd take that. Hughes has built something special at Blackburn over a period of time with very little funds - imagine what could be achieved with Abramovich's fortunes. It may take a while, but he is a motivated and inspirational person with strong ties to the club, he would be the ideal appointment in my view.

Mark Hughes is my favourite too...little did you know that Fergie was eyeing him as a perfect replacement for his old chewing gum red ass?

I don't think there will be a surprise really.

Roman wants a manager who will play fantasy football - Grant talked a lot about it but didn't have a clue and Jose never talked about it because he was too busy winning things and was confident enough not to give a toss.

We need a manager that we can announce within the next week, we cannot afford to wait until after the Euro Champs, a lack of a manager can be a very unsettling thing for players already possibly thinking about moving elsewhere - to clubs who actually have a manager.

We want to be "loved" according to Kenyon and co. No more rows and arguments showing Chelsea up.

We want a manager that fits the fashionable image of the club.

We want a manager with a good CV who has experience of handling a big club and all that this entails.

There is only one person that really fits that bill who seems to be a consistent front runner.

RYKAARD.

I'm not saying he is the one I want as manager.

I just think he is the guy we are going to get.

Top post FB (how are ya btw?) I couldn't agree more mate. Continuity is the key word in my opinion, I'd gladly sacrifice next season to let Sparky build his team for the future, Not sure Roman feels the same way lol. As I said in my OP Hughs will get the respect from the dressing room and I think like others How can you ever be ready for the likes of Chelsea without being given the oppurtunity(sp?) in the first place.

[diskoviolente 425]

i wanted to have Laudrup, but he is out of the race, he just signed for Athens,

so i´ll go for mancini

don´t think rijkard will come because Hank ten Cate and him worked together in Barca once, and now Cate is gone...just supposed that...don´t really know it fure sure.

[pluto 0]

Reportedly Ten Cate fell out with Rykaard which is why he left Barca.

So the fact that Ten Cate has gone should not lead people to assume Rykaard will pass up the job.

Why should he? Is he and Ten Cate joined at the waist or something - Rykaard has another backroom team now - he can survive without Ten Cate.

[diskoviolente 425]

of course rykard can ,

even though i just supposed it

i hope for rykard or mancini

[changingman2000 35]

I'm not buying into the mancini method. Inter were HUGELY fortunate because Juve had been relegated and Milan docked points, he is generally a lucky manager and, just in case, he made an ass of leicester.

He may bring Zola, or Vialli in, but he would be a poor mans Jose, given the fact that Mourinho as taken his job in Italy. Which leads to on major question? Are we willing to employ a manager who is a cast off because of Jose?
