Lots of Maresca You Tube analysis of tactics popping up,you don't need to watch many to see our squad his made for his approach.Think the fact a lot of people at the club probably going back as far as Txiki seem to have known who they want and prepared to ground for it should give us a lot of confidence,yes. I'm excited by it too.The fact Enzo was desperate to come to city, turning down multiple clubs as well as prepared to leave Chelsea is such a huge positive to me.
I’m really excited for some fresh ideas

The club aren't intending to tread water and risk falling back or out of CL and PL contention for 3 years.Especially as he knows he’s he will be under pressure to deliver, and will always be compared against Pep. I’m convinced this is an interim appointment and we have our eye on an another manger in two/three years.

On the other hand, everyone knowing how hard it is to follow Pep, might take some of the pressure off.Especially as he knows he’s he will be under pressure to deliver, and will always be compared against Pep.

Trafford, Nico G ?
The club was in a different place then,plus maybe the greatest coach of all time was our target. Not a chance the club are waiting around now,they want to maintain the momentum we have.Plus do you think players like Haaland would accept 3 years of waiting about. We will all have different opinions on what we think of Maresca for now,but the clubs expectations will be high and his targets will be high,if he meets them he'll get an extension.We didn’t with Pellegrini, still qualified and won trophies. He was interim wasn’t he?

He might also have the 'valve release' effect that Pellegrini had after Mancini and to some extent Slot had after Klopp.

I'd have Klopp in a heart beat....exciting football, great teeth and with Pep out of the way, the only way is up, baby.......True, although not sure Slot is feeling that this season, they all want him out, and Klopp back.

And we'd all know where to go for the best hotel deals...I'd have Klopp in a heart beat....exciting football, great teeth and with Pep out of the way, the only way is up, baby.......
As long as he curtails his tendency to punch imaginary dwarves on the touchlineI'd have Klopp in a heart beat....exciting football, great teeth and with Pep out of the way, the only way is up, baby.......
Really!!! Well who will this manager be?Especially as he knows he’s he will be under pressure to deliver, and will always be compared against Pep. I’m convinced this is an interim appointment and we have our eye on an another manger in two/three years.
Man management is probably 50% of the job at our level. If you can't do that, everything else is irrelevant. As he's been at the club for 2 years I'd assume the club know he has the emotional intelligence to be excellent at this. There's no doubt that with our club culture we wouldn't recruit an arsehole. There might be results for a year or so but then it would kills us quickly as morale drops off.Nothing wrong with Maresca's ideas but the question mark for me is his whole man-management credentials. Klopp would be an interesting idea but that would be too much change in one go.
