pongo88 Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 I always thought Ron Manager was overrated. He had lots of passion - e.g. jumpers for goalposts - but I don’t think he would have been the right fit for City. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre_The_Giant Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 Steve McClaren. How has he not been mentioned yet? League Cup for Boro, fair enough, but other than that has robbed a living as a number 1. At great expense. I’ve often worried about the possibilities of him coming here given he’s an ex City player and has had a downward career trajectory post England national team. Very much a number 2 or 3.

Darren Way, Darren Sarll, Mark Cooper. That's why they are on their way to the 6th tier. Listening to Mark Cooper on the way home the other week I think he was asked why do you think you're staying up and he said 'because I have to', not the most convincing answer. And looking very bad for them now. Also got to agree with the Scott Parker shout, has 2 promotions on his cv but he had 2 of the best teams in the league with parachute money and maybe harshly I am just not convinced by the way he speaks. A good chance he flops at a club like City. Edited April 10, 2023 by Baba Yaga 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 I’m glad we’ve never gone down the “celebrity ex-player with no real track record” route, albeit we possibly tried to do so with Gerrard. Frank Lampard fortunately seems to fail upwards to an extent that he’s bafflingly out of our reach despite a poor record. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume that you have accidentally put the wrong persons name in your post, whilst thinking of some other manager...... Either that, or you are talking baffling nonsense..! Tony Mowbray has had a great career, gets his teams playing fantastic football & he has always been top of my wishlist (although usually out of our reach) whenever we have been in a recruitment search. NP was always high on that list aswell & I was amazed when we appointed him. Was very much regretting that wish until Christmas..! But we've seen some genuine improvement since then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distortia Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 I can't imagine we would be in a better position than we are now if we would have appointed Gerrard. I was very unimpressed with his work at Villa - the improvement under Emery is unbelievable. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I’m not a fan of his whining as a manager but he’s not exactly the worst is he? No, that is fair, but in his last 2/3 jobs, he has overspent on average players, seen teams plummet down the league and been sacked whilst staring at relegation. Each team has then improved since removing him. For me, his stock as a manager is very low and I have no doubt West Brom would have gone down this year had they stuck with him. I would say his failings at Villa, despite spending fortunes, then his poor time at Sheffield Wednesday, before nearly relegating Newcastle suggest he is not a manager you would want at your club anymore. West Brom was the final straw and exposed him to me, as someone who can buy success, but if it fails to click, could cripple and ruin a club. Cue his next gig at Ipswich!
