I'd love to see a comparison to other PL clubs because it seems like we kill off more managerial careers than I'd expect, but I have no data to back that up 3 minutes ago, rjw63 said: Managers graveyard is B6 Emery better stay put until he retires then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted December 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 12, 2023 Depends how you look at it. Martin O’Neill got the Ireland job. Now personally speaking, I’m of the view that international management isn’t really akin to top flight club football. It’s not as demanding, I don’t know. It’s not as good, basically. Nevertheless, it’s a big job. Steve Bruce also managed Newcastle after us. Ok, “no way are Newcastle bigger than Vil…blah blah blah”, that’s not what I’m saying, not interested in the conversation…But it was a premier league job he had after managing us in the championship. On that metric alone, it was a bigger job for him. He had shit poured on his head on a regular basis, a lot of it deserved. But by virtue of it being in the Premier league, it was a bigger stage for the shit bucket to be deployed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 What a beautiful twist of fate this is, for Smith to stand at the helm of a MLS franchise in the Carolinas, the region that has become a cherished haven for he and his family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 He's got his work cut out for him. Charlotte's lineup is one of the more dire ones as they come in the MLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having that RoI is a bigger job than a PL job though, especially if you take into account the view you did of Bruce, of where we were as a club when O'Neill managed us. A comfortable top half PL job for a club qualifying in Europe is bigger than most international jobs, but certainly blooming Ireland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I accept that there are those who feel differently regarding international football generally and that managing ROI at the Euros is sufficiently significant enough to perhaps not be considered a management graveyard. It’s its own thing, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLS is going to lean heavily into the attack here, I'm hoping Dean has the chops to do it. Some pretty good up and comers (Nancy) and legendary managers (Tata) in the league.

Zatman Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) Wonder would he be interested in any of our current or ex players that he worked with. Hause would spring to mind, maybe Anwar under different circumstances Grealish could reignite his career as a DP under the only manager to really get the best out of him Edited December 12, 2023 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Hause is a good shout. Anwar I think doesn't want to move his family too much though a lot of clubs are probably going to stay away in Europe. Grealish I think is destined for the MLS one day and would wreak havoc with free reign though Charlotte is hardly the destination spot like Miami or LA.

Dom_Wren Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Tepper is the worst NFL owner in the league, nothing Charlotte FC has done has changed my mind hes any better in MLS. Ive got friends who work on the coaching side and they lost a couple of very good youth head honchos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 glad he got the job ahead of lampard, sky sports news reported he withdrew! The only names i recognise in the charlotte squad are ashley westwood and scott arfield, although they are 9/15th so it seems there is something to work with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MON qualified Ireland for Euro 2016 and led us to some really famous wins for example against World Chanpions Germany and against Italy at the Euros. It's not a huge job in the grand scheme of things, but MON will, as a proud Irishman on the other side of the border, have seen it as a big job. I find your comments a little bit unnecessary to be fair. Edited December 12, 2023 by Captain_Townsend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
