When I think about Mark Hughes, I think of his time back in charge of City.

I don't mind ex-Chelsea coming back in charge, but Hughes is NOT the first person on my mind when it comes to that

Simeone represents everything this club should stand for.

Hughes was in charge of City before the investment really paid off in terms of quality. Similar IMO to Ranieri here.

Still, I don't think Hughes will be the man.

I'm guessing hard work, tough-nosed football with an emphasis on canceling out the opposition.

I'm guessing he is suggesting Chelsea should look for someone who is similar to Mourinho, even though Simeone and Mourinho are 2 different animals in every possible way.

According to The Times we have a shortlist of four managers: Simeone, Sampaoli, Deschamps and Pochettino, although Roman hasn't yet given up hope on Pep. The Independent also mention these managers, in addition to Conte.

I'd rank them in terms of my excitement as:

1.  Pochettino/Sampaoli

3.  Simeone

4.  Deschamps

That means Deschamps is nailed on

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

- I'd happily take Pochettino, would be difficult to get him from the Spuds though. 

Maybe he could bring Harry Kane with him. 

[Fernando 6,454]

Yeah I be happy with Pochetino as well.

And why is that? Because Mourinho brainwashed Chelsea fans into thinking that counter-attacking football and playing like a small side is the Chelsea way? 

Btw 'should stand for' is just wrong. Many fans here including me don't want us to play like a small side anymore. Imo, In order for us to establish ourselves as a truly top club in the long term, we need to focus on attacking Football as a philosophy and choose our managers and players based on this philosophy.

Why does attacking football = top club? Arsenal have been like that under Wenger but haven't won the league in years. The beauty of the game is that there are many different styles and playing one style doesn't equate to success.

I said attacking football is better if you want to be a a top club for the long term. There are many reasons but mainly it's because the most talented players in the world refuse to play under this philosophy for a long period of time.

Arsene Wenger is just a very poor manager. He lacks tactical intelligence and often lets his side down due to a lack of plan B. He also fails to adapt to certain situations in certain games.

Attacking football doesn't send me up the fucking wall. Nothing raises the blood pressure like watching a CB pass the ball back forth between his defensive partner, the DM and the GK. Wew lad.

That's not attacking football though.  That's possession football, and it's not exactly the same thing.  Attacking football is kind of hard to define, but you know it when you see it.

I don't want to watch a whole season of performances like we saw in the second half of last season, but I also don't want to watch Barcelona or Bayern all season. Borussia Dortmund's play excites me. Leicester City's play excites me. I wanted Klopp until Liverpool snatched him up, and Ranieri's not coming back, so I want whoever is going to impose that "philosophy" of quick buildup, decisive passes, and high workrates.

I agree that my word choice of 'attacking' football was a bit vague and general. But yes, I agree that we do not have to have a Barca or Bayern sort of system where we dominate 80 percent of the position. A team that plays with urgency and will to attack can be successful in the long term if we have good managers who could go along with the philosophy along the way.
