If You Want Ivic Out, Who Do You Want To Replace Him?

Thankfully discovered this morning that he's got a new job in Qatar.

 

Good old Squiffy!

 

Squiffy to replace itchy?

 

We need a former world class striker to get this team going not some second division flop in his 50s. Would love to see Thiery Henry

 

My Christmas wish list for our new manager:

1. A manager with Championship experience

2. A manager who will try and attack. You can't defend your way out of this league

3. A manager who will challenge player power, but try and use some people skills while he does so, and keep people like Sarr and JP on side

 

He's been really not very good everywhere he's been, including Montreal Impact in MLS, so...

 

Zola then. Or Joka.

 

So QSF and a big compensation fee to the Qataries. This just gets better.

 

I would settle for either.

But wouldn't necessarily want to go back to a previous manager. Didn't work out so well last time around.

 

Zola with the best defensive assistant coach we can afford

 

79 in 129? Any idea if he's still got it and fancies a few 90 min runouts?

 

I guess Munoz isn’t hugely different to when we appointed Aidy or Rodgers, except it almost certainly won’t be as good.

 

Law of averages says Gino has to get one right sooner or later

 

I've never belived in the law of averages, if this were true, how come we ain't won anything in ages?;;

 

“He speaks English, is very friendly, very kind and attentive,”

What's he doing Tuesday? My recently single (again) sister is coming over for lunch. Sounds like the sort of bloke she needs rather than the lazy, immature, selfish, drunken ba5tards she usually goes for

 

Brave.

 

I'm sure somebody mentioned he doesn't the right coaching badges but maybe he can come in and be an assistant in name only and then have somebody else who looks after the media side and is manager in name only. Could happen. I have never heard of this bloke but equally I had never heard most of the managers we get

 

He has a UEFA A license which is enough to manage at Championship level.

 

Anyone have any insight on Javier Calleja who the article also mentions?

Given his exploits at Villarreal, would surely be unlikely. But don’t know what his style is like?

 

Munoz Munoz Munoz, must be Munoz.

It's a rich man's world.

 

Going by the commentary yesterday it's apparent that Tommy Mooney and Paul Robinson know more about tactics that Ivic did, What a managerial combination that could be, and I don't see them taking any crap from uppity players.

Ideally though I'd love Jokanovic to return, he had us playing good football, with a winning mentality, and most importantly a real understanding of how important the connection to the fans should be. Biggest mistake the Pozzos made was letting him go.

 

The bit in bold is the issue though.

Clearly Ivic didn’t suffer the egos lightly either and dealt with them accordingly. And it’s backfired. And while the club continue to recruit on talent alone and not on personality traits, it’s destined to happen again.

But we are where we are - I think we need a manager who, when encountering a player who is playing up, can put an arm round them and ask ‘What’s up? What’s causing this? Let’s see if we can sort it out together...’ rather than the colder approach of ostracising them or calling them out. That will only go one way.

But the club must start scouting all aspects of a player and stop being so vocal about the club being a stepping stone for players.

 

Fair enough, sounds like it might be him then

 

THIS THREAD NEEDS TO CLOSED FOR NOW

 

Can somebody reboot TVOR? He’s glitching again.

 

Did anyone in the world think 'Munoz, he's the guy for the job!' - except Gino??

 

Who said Xixcxo Alvarez?

 

Ar epeople on here happy now? Lets be honest after sackign Ivic there was no chance of getting anyone decent - what self respecting manager with a good record would come here?
