Patrick Vieira.

[MCFC BOB]

If something were to happen, that meant Roberto Mancini could no longer manage Manchester City (sacked, resigns, family commitmens), would you be happy if Patrick Vieira took the manager's role?

Bearing in mind he's now Football Development Executive at City and training with the EDS to develop their potential.

No.

Too big a job for a novice.

As I understood it (and this could be COMPLETE NONSENSE) when he was signed as a player it was with a view to retiring into a job where he could learn management and then start a career as a manager - not sure if that was to be at City or not though.

No.

This.

Mourinho, Guardiola, Ancelotti and many others are the names we would be looking at if Mancini went. Vieira has no proven Managerial experience.

Wouldn't want him, wouldn't want Mou either after his ridiculous performances against Barca. He has thoroughly discredited himself and doesn't bring the ethos with him that suits us.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Of course, with petit as his no2 aswell

Guardiola had no managerial experience either.


I have no idea, as does anyone on this forum, if Vieira has what it takes to be a manager. He could be shit, he could be a genius. If the board felt that he had the credentials then I have no qualms with him taking over.

Guardiola was first coach of Barca B before getting the top job. I appreciate your point but you take calculated risks in football and it's far more likely that someone who has done things in the game as a Manager will repeat the success as opposed to someone who hasn't.

If Guardiola was available now without the history of what he's achieved at Barca then you wouldn't want him.

To be fair with the team Guardiola has i could of won what he has
