The clubs owners have over the past decade made some poor decisions on appointments. If we're going to sign an inexperienced manager then it should be Rui Furia, at least he had nearly 20 years as Mourinho's assistant, if he can't coach, then it's far far less a risk than Henry with no assistant experience. Personally, if he is interested, and he hasn't come out and said not interested, yet, I believe Rodgers is the man and the club should do all it can to sign him.

westholmevillan Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Rodgers....no thanks! He is an 'experienced' manager who went to Scotland to get away from the pressure of managing in England. I think he would find it extremely difficult if/when he decides to come back down south!.....just my opinion of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViewFromT2 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Wouldn't be averse to Thierry Henry personally. By all accounts he is a proper student of the game. I think he is articulate enough to get his message across to players and he will command respect for his achievements in the game. Not sure JT as assistant makes sense though. Not sure they ever really got on did they? My personal choice would be Rui Faria with John Terry as assistant. I know nothing is proven until they prove it, but Mourinho speaks so highly of him and is adamant Faria has everything needed to manage on of the worlds top clubs. You could argue that Morinho has suffered without his trusted right hand man this season. He is recognised as one of the best coaches of tactical periodization is the game....a coaching methodology utilised by most if not all of the top coaches in the world. I've no doubt he would transform us. He was pictured at Stamford Bridge the other week watching the Chelsea v Liverpool game with Michael Essien. Essien has just completed his Uefa B licence.....maybe he could join the setup as first team coach maybe? All pie in the sky I know but......

I think Henry and terry are both winners and I’d expect the coaching to be far better than under the likes of calderwood and clemence - far from being a circus act I’d expect both to be very professional in their work Edited October 8, 2018 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mazrim Posted October 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2018 Danny Murphy has apparently talked down Terry and Henry so that's it for me. I want them.

I was unsure about Henry, as he was too much of a gamble, ,but I am warming to him. I read his Wiki page, and he is such a winner. Captained Arsenal at some stage, leading goal scorer, POTY, 9th most marketable sportsperson, lots and lots of international caps, yada yada yada. If the guy fell off a cliff, gravity will decide to take the day off. The guy cant do wrong. As for Dwight Yorke, I am glad some comedy has come out of all this. Having Dwight Yorke in a managerial race is like those " fun" candidates during an election, which somebody puts up their cocker spaniel as a candidate. Thanks Dwight, very funny, but no. That's Dwight second from the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 At least this time we are being linked with decent candidates like Henry , Rodgers and Faria all of which I’d be happy with , a big improvement from the likes of pardew, Bruce, moyes etc of the past 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the conditions that Sherwood and Garde operated in are quite different to now.....also Garde in particular is not on the same confidence level as JT & TH. Admittedly they are new to this, just like Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, even Darren Moore.......but hey they have not been ordinary players, they have played at the top end of the game. Kevin MacDonald said our lot need to tidy their individual game up and they will rise up the league, it sounds like a bit of a BMH problem has crept in......who better than them to work on this. I think, we will never have another opportunity like this......lets grab it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
