However it’s often just the case of a manager clicking with a club. Yes of course due diligence regarding character and the type of football philosophy he has are important, but there’s an element of the “it just works” when making any appointment. After all Ron Saunders was nothing to shout about either before or after he was with us. But boy did he make it work here!

I've got a mate who works on a few projects at Sheff Utd - says Chris Wilder is v v v pro-English players, to the point of not entertaining the ideas of picking talent from Europe. Don't think that really fits into the new owner's plans. Could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viloon Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Ambition is what sells a club when trying to convince a higher calibre of manager, player or tea lady to sign. If the owners are looking to pump in ambitious amounts of money once promotion is gained, then I think managers like Rodgers, Howe or a foreign manager like Nuno did at Wolves, would certainly entertain a conversation of dropping down to the championship if there was a long term plan that meant they had a crack at the top 6 of the premier league. For me, we have that capability, it depends just how much the owners are willing to part with on this project. I didn't blame them at the time for sticking with Bruce, even though I wanted him gone then, I see why they wanted to take stock and patiently build from the bottom up. I would rather they took measured decisions. Only time will tell, but if we are serious about success at the highest level, I do think we can attract a top manager, who is stagnant at their current club due to hitting the limit of that clubs expenditure or pull, will be willing to start from where we are.

The players just need to get their boots on and get at ‘em. This is The Championship, it’s hard football for hard men. None of your little triangles and one in the hole namby pamby rubbish. Up and at ‘em, up and bloody at ‘em! If you’re going to get technical, do remember that sleeves need to be rolled up as well! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 If ever Brendan Rodgers is going to leave Celtic it is this season. Out of the champions league before it began and lost twice in 6 games this season already. Considering they have lost 4 games in the previous 2 seasons combined and only 12 in the previous 152 games that is about as bad as it gets for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didiersix Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 OK this is ultra-ambitious. Ridiculously so. BUT What about Leonardo Jardim? Could we tempt him with a vision and a plan? Much like Rodgers, I think he has taken Monaco as far as he can... and is fed up constantly selling his best players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While my Villa heart says "yeah he is a realistic target" the realist in me thinks this has to be a fantasy. He's a top top manager and given his record at Monaco he will be looking to move to one of Europe's elite clubs if he walks away from Monaco. I put him in the never going to happen pile, alongside Zidane! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
