Patrick Vieira

[citymad]

Having no shots on goal in 3 matches is pretty dire but it can happen especially if your playing against a top team. I remember we had the odd game with no shots on goal too and look at the quality we had. After Arsenal they have a run of winnable games and I'm sure with the decent defense they have and the quality of Zaha, Olise, Edoarde,Eze and Ayew (an underrated player) they would've survived under Vieira. They need to score more goals thats for sure. Have a soft spot for Palace, something about the kit, the name that I liked as a child growing up.

They wanted new manger in for the break to prepare for the winnable games.

I thought he would be favourite for first sacking last season as they had very few player under contract when he joined, and he did better than expected, but form since early Nov has been very poor.

Patrick Vieira

Patrick vierra was touted as a future manager of city I said then and I say now, not a chance! A charlatan Discuss

Post #8 in that thread. Not always right, never wrong.

Just another 'ex-great' footballer touted beyond belief. Joins the list with Bryan Robson, Roy Keane, Alan Shearer, etc, etc.

He'll get another job soon, probably at a lower level. Good luck to him.

Taking over as manager of Strasbourg.
Strasbourg have, or are being bought, by the Chelsea.

Poor decision from Parish. They only lost by one goal in all of games in that really tough set of fixtures. Patrick would’ve got them out of trouble besides the Players were behind him. They could regret this and may get relegated now. Woy? Really ?

Proves that I know nothing. Roy did an amazing job keeping them up. It’s debatable whether Viera would’ve turned it around. Apparently they had the easiest set of fixtures in the run in of all the teams.

Anyone would have done it, with the fixtures they had coming up. Lucky timing for Roy.

Will see how he does having been kept on for a full coming season, but me thinks a bridge too far. Could be first sacking, I don’t think he will last the season anyway.

He did a solid job first time round, but even in his last season he was getting found out, and was always very one dimensional. Then Watford spell was much to be forgotten.

Palace were going backwards under Vieira, the transformation under Woy was superb.

Vieira is far too passive and calm, Woy still has the fire in his belly and the difference is night and day.

Anytime anyone who’s ever been at City since the takeover ever goes into management or even mentions coaching badges, our fanbase predicts they’ll be back at the club as our coach one day: ‘future manager’, ‘Pep’s number2 for a while to learn the ropes, then when Pep leaves he will step up’, ‘new coaching role at xxx, he’ll learn his trade there and come back to be our coach when Pep steps down’.

It’s happened with Vieira, Arteta, Kompany, Zabaleta, Fernandinho, Gündoğan… everyone forgets that sort of shit is what held back Liverpool in the ’90s and United since Ferguson left.

Be interesting to hear what Vieira got up to, to wind you up haha.

I think you can make an acception for gundo and Vinny..
Born winners and very clever men.
Wouldn't mind either of them sometime in the future.

Kompany certainly has been given a platform to achieve big things in management but, for me, the jury is still out. I do wish him well though.

Let's see how far he goes this season and next ..
I think he'll do well with better players to implement his play style and philosophy.
Good luck Vinny.

Also you just know gundog is going to do great things in management.
He's got the touch of the peps about him.

Can’t see it with Kompany.

Gundogan though. Interesting to see how that goes.

I do think that gundo will end up as part of the management in time tbh. But I get your point 100%

Arsenal manager, Bayern manager, Albania assistant, still playing, and last but no means least... still playing for us. Not a terrible record for those touted to one day come back for the top job, and all with plenty of time left on the clock, questions as yet unanswered.

Ironically Patrick is probably the one that hasn't pushed on out of that list. Looked for a while like he was, but he has leveled-out below that standard. His teams have always played well technically, and you can say that about the other managers in that list too. Did a good job in the States, and a decent job in South London, especially in his first season there. Crashed and burned with Boehly's Bleu-et-Blanc.

I agree, love Kompany but for me he is far too emotional to be a top manager.

Pep has that slightly cold attitude that for me all topman managers need, because for me top coaching is very important but the man management side of a boss is vital without that your nothing.

Pep is one of the most emotional managers we've seen in this league. Those that are close to him in terms of high emotions are all his competition; Mourinho, Klopp, Conte, Tuchel, Ferguson etc.

Pep is seen screaming at players on a daily basis. He gives lengthy impassioned talks on minutae of the game for hours, all the while waving his arms about like a prize loon. Excesses of emotion is a positive in a top manager.
