Potential Manager Suggestions?

So why not put a system in place that finds and develops these coaches before they break out and become big names?

 

We can’t even get our kids into the squad never mind do this. I’m not saying it’s a bad idea, I think that’s what they’re trying to do with Kennedy, rightly or wrongly, no wait it seems to be very wrong, just saying.
But how do we fix the here and now?

 

Your point is?

 

I think they would come here, but they would be shocked by what they find. There's so much that needs to be fixed and most of it isn't even within a manager's purview. Things like academy and youth scouting policy.

A good manager could come in and give us a bump. Then two or three years later, we're back where we are now.

For me, a good director of football is even more important for us than a manager. Peter Lawwell's fingerprints are all over the football operation and that needs to change before we can move forward.

 

Incase you’ve not heard Big C, BR had zero feelings for this club. It was birthday caird pish. He hadn’t stepped foot in Celtic Park before the day he was unveiled.

 

I'd like us to get a Manager who has tactical nous & game management, understands fitness and conditioning and knows how to handle humans (when to kick and when to cuddle)

That's it!

* could come from Somalia or Bargeddie for all I care if he knew those three simple things.

 

Hire competent people.

 

If only it was so simple, everyone would be doing it.

 

Is that a serious question. It's because they're the richest clubs in the world playing in the richest league in the world and can have any manager they want. We're not the same as them. But equally why are clubs like Arsenal and Man U willing to take a risk on unproven foreign managers but won't give a job to an English manager who's done a good job with a smaller club. There's a bias against British managers at the moment that doesn't make sense. These foreign coaches people are clamouring for haven't proven themselves at the highest level just like the British ones available. Btw I'm playing devil's advocate to an extent - I don't care if our next manager is Chinese or Mexican as long as he's good. I just don't buy the narrative that someone with a foreign name and a reasonable record at a smaller European club/league is any more likely to succeed than a British manager with reasonable success at smaller British clubs.

 

Man Utd gave Moyes the job and he was a disaster.

If these clubs can have any manager on the planet why aren’t they choosing British managers?

 

lennon knows none of these simple things. arrogant * stalling for money.HH

 

I’m not saying he was standing in the jungle beside me what I’m trying to point out is his family etc were supporters.

 

Moyes wasn't backed with any kind of funds and he's one example. The owners are unfairly biased against British managers. I don't see any other reason because foreigners are just as likely to fail as Arsenal and Man U amongst others are finding out.
How can you say British managers aren't as good when they're not given the jobs to find out.
What is your rationale for thinking foreigners make better football managers - is it genetic?

 

What British managers have had success in the last decade at the top level aside from Ferguson?

 

I think that it is quite straightforward: those managers come from different footballing cultures, which, in some cases, are (far) more advanced than our own.

Also, if one is conducting a worldwide search, as one should, there are, obviously, considerably more 'foreign' candidates than British ones.

 

That's probably lazy Scottish journalism as much as anything - these tossers just think of every ex Celtic player or coach or Scottish manager doing a half way decent at their current club and put them on a list of 'possible candidates'.

Liewell likes: cheap, available and compliant. If you compile a list on that basis you'll not be far off the mark

 

Someone just said we paid BR £2.3/ year, hardly cheap no matter where the cash came from.

 

Some of those names are complete non-starters, but the likes of Jardim might be attainable. We should at least ask the question.

We needn't operate at the two extremes either. It should go without saying that there is a plethora of managers between Pochettino and Keane in terms of quality.

 

I believe that Rodgers was Desmond's appointment.

 

How many have managed a top 6 EPL or even Celtic or Rangers. I'll say it again - if they're not given the job to find out how good they are after success at smaller clubs how will we ever know how good they could be. I think there are young foreign managers getting jobs here who haven't shown themselves to be any better than the British options and they go on to prove it by failing. BR has had some success and he's the only one I can think of who was given a chance by Liverpool after some success at smaller clubs, other than Moyes.
