deadredfred Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Just saw this on the BBC rumours page: Four-time Champions League winner Clarence Seedorf wants to manage in England and would be willing to take on the right "project" with a Championship club. (Talksport) If there's ever a word we use, it's "project"! Not suggesting for a moment there's anything in it, but would you welcome a former player of his calibre to manage? I believe he had a spell managing Milan, and appears to have been in China too. Relatively inexperienced but a great player, incredibly articulate when I've seen him as a pundit and would surely be an attractive proposition. I didn't think Jaap Stam would do much at Reading but he's turned them into a very decent side? Nothing else to talk about. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 If we required a new manager, he may be worth a shout indeed. Can help to begin with if you're an ex top player, with an illustrious playing career. Also thought the same of Stam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexukhc Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 If Stam doesn't take Reading up, I expect him going to Palace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeneys Penalties Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Seedorf... legend. If there was a vacancy at AG, I'd take him in a heartbeat. Sadly, I don't think we'd fork out for his level of wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gasbuster Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Quality player in his day; and a fantastic character, a real gentleman as well. A forward thinking club would do very well to appoint him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 No reason to take him on when our current gaffer is doing a good job with a project of his own. Far rather stick with Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Yep. But I do believe that. Horrible 'middle' this season but overall we're going into another Championship season with a decent squad and a setup clearly happy to invest. Feel good about 2017-18.

Obviously the view (as always) depends on which way you're looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanting him at City is neither here nor there, it's the suggestion that he would be good appointment based on his character and playing career.

TBW Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Bet he would love a job. Sadly he's not exactly got a good track record as a manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 He lacks experience and has an unremarkable track record as a manager. Even if you don't like LJ and want a change, given the main criticisms of him are his track record and lack of experience, I can't see the reason for going for a less experienced manager with a worse track record.

Well one was a small in stature but dynamic and cultured midfielder who played for one of the worlds great clubs... the other was called clarence.

I really cant see how we are likely to improve to any significant degree next season, and how much it will cost to get us just to survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfOfWestStreet Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Defo the sort of person id love to see lead the club when we finally sack Johnson. Would completely raise the profile of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
