Enzo Maresca

[jrb]

We need to get behind him next season and give him our full support.

 

[RayCTID]

Maresca does have my support but I do have some doubts whether he can fully deliver; however the current situation is a lot more stable than when Pep first took over in July 2016.

Bring Caicedo

He retired last year

 

[Saddleworth2]

I’m a keeper you can absolutely learn and be tough how to deliver a long ball. If no one has raised it with him, or if he hasn’t recognised and worked on it, then those are separate issues. You can absolutely learn how to kick a long ball

I'm sure you can learn but if he hasn't by now I fail to see that he will.

Surely those doubts go for anyone though! Many of us doubted Pep in his first 6 months.

Pep was proven before he joined City.

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Pep was proven before he joined City.

Pep was already one of the best managers in history before he came.
Now he's far far away on his own

Starts with a Clean slate for me. Let’s see what he can do.

Pep was proven before he joined City.

But was told that he couldn't do it in the PL with his tactics.

Anyone replacing him has a tough job.
I cannot think of anyone in world football for whom there would be a seamless transition of play/man-management/tactics/trophies. We just have to enjoy the ride, support the club and the new manager, and hope for the best. Nothing can be predicted now apart from the quality of the senior leaders, who we hope will make good decisions.

 

[Marvin.]

Why ? He left them after seemingly falling out with the senior people over what control he had, fuck chelsea.

Jacob Steinberg, a reporter on Chelsea, wrote earlier this week that, "Sources close to the former Leicester manager have acknowledged Chelsea are entitled to demand a sizeable compensation package for City to acquire his services."

[LangleyBlue1970]

Go on Enzo!!!

 

[come-on-barney]

Let’s hope he doesn’t get the same arrival pre arrival as Pellers :)

 

[HolisticJim]

This. The club has my faith.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Decided to watch the treble doc instead of all or nothing. Notable how much involved and clued up Enzo is on the training ground.

I think, guys, we will have Pep mark 2.

Welcome to the club Enzo, let's hope you've a thick skin because the British press will be after you.

They’re tame, it’s the match day forum he has to watch out for.

There isn't anything official about him is there?
I don't think there are any concerns about his skin-depth - he seems like a tough-cookie to me.

The club might bother to announce him before the start of the new season, they seem to be as responsive as the Evergreen ship these days, give them time.

 

[jimharri]

Isn't Allardyce available?

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Think @Ric will have invest in a couple of new mods over the summer for the match day threads next season....
