But the fact you put Russell Martin on it gives me the fear. I get this is your wish list, but how many of them would be in a position to become our next manager (availability/salary/profile?) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @Rousseau has taken that into account in computing the list. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Martin has built up a good body of work as a coach. I did try to be somewhat realistic. Jaissle is in Saudi so we're not competing with the money but I hope he's looking to return to Europe some time in the future after pocketing as much as he can. Bielsa is unlikely. I'm just a fan of both. Martin and Motta are free agents. Motta was just sacked by Juventus, so maybe too much of a step down. Henriksen (Mainz), Nancy (Columbus Crew, MLS), Marsch (Canada), Rohl (Sheffield Wednesday) and Rystrom (Malmo) could be poached, maybe. McKenna is about to be relegated with Ipswich. He's not getting sacked, but could be poached. Although, he probably has enough credit to get a PL job. Knutsen is at Bodo/Glimt, but seems to be averse to moving as he has a cushy situation. Compo asked the question, I just provided some names that interest me. They're better than the same old names that get bandied about, like Warnock, Dyche and Lampard, surely? Do you have any names? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin showed an inability to change tactics even when his team were clearly shipping goals. As Mourinho said about Clement he's "more worried about philosophies than on the pitch". I don't think we want him given how Clement ended up. I agree that McKenna has too much credit in the bank to come here. Yes, we wouldn't agree to Knutsen's share of transfer profits so he's probably out. Wasn't that impressed by Marsch, but don't know anything about Henriksen, Nancy, Rohl and Rystrom so interesting to hear their names being thrown into the mix. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Mourinho said about Clement he's "more worried about philosophies than on the pitch". I don't think we want him given how Clement ended up. That's not true - Martin just couldn't find / get to a solution. He tweaked things quite often. He has since suggested they got their recruitment wrong in terms of underestimating athleticism of the PL. However, we are talking about So'ton, in the PL: They were outmatched, as are the majority of promoted sides. This doesn't apply to us. Yes, he does have a philosophy, but so does Rodgers, so does Postecoglu. They've won quite a lot up here. IMO, that's what we need - someone that can implement a style of play. I will concede that his possession-based style is not everyone's cup of tea, though. Mourinho is now irrelevant. I wouldn't take notice of his opinions on the modern game. He was just beaten by Barry Ferguson. Your point is not without merit, but, IMO, this general distrust of 'philosophy' is out of date, and is part of the reason why this country is a footballing backwater. (I'm not lumping you in with those.) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 6,014 Posted Wednesday at 16:19 Share Posted Wednesday at 16:19 He insisted on playing out from the back and it cost them goals very frequently. He seemed to refuse to change from that. As for Mourinho, surely he was just saying what most of our support were saying about Clement? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
