Vieira could be next City boss

[Blue Haze]

I'm surprised we've come out and stated it so plainly.

Very reassuring we have a long-term plan. We're the only PL club thinking this far into the future.

18 months is a long time in football.

I wouldn't be surprised if we gave Viera a chance. I'd imagine a highly experienced assistant with him.

Our approach will be so much further along in 18 months time. A top two finish this season, would all but guarantee one next year under Manual.

Leaving Paddy with a very experienced side, one that knows how to win, knows how to get the job done in the Prem.
18 months time you'd hope to see a few EDS lads looking at being squad players.

We are not like United, Liverpool we have a sustained and balanced management pyramid. Sorriano & Txiki are in charge of the squad, building and recruiting.

Viera would speak volumes for our approach, imagine the profile it would bring to the club.

Season 2016-17 Paddy V In charge with 4 or 5 home grown talents floating around the first team, young black manager promoted from within, promoting youth into his squad. The media wouldn't know what to do. I could see a few suicides..

Outside of Pep, perhaps Klopp and Simone, I can't see any great next managers out there. Why not take a chance?

I'm always a bit sceptical about this succession planning thing. I've heard it a million times before that Bryan Robson or Steve Bruce or Gary Pallister were going to be next United manager, and it's only five minutes since Uwe Rosler was going to be our next manager. Obviously Vieira might be ours one day, but I'd say the chances are very slim. It's a bit like saying that Andy Cole's son will be England's centre forward one day.

I disagree, I think it is our plan. United never once put in place a system. Let alone a system like ours. They were ran with an iron fist. One almighty God that you worked for or against. Hence their problems now.

While I don't think Viera will certainly be our next manager, I would have him at second favourite already. Let alone in 18 months time. Hopefully longer if Manuel carries on as he is.

I think the plan is to hire from within, providing the man in place is right for the job. No I wouldn't want Rosler, nor would I want a Ya Ya, but Viera is different. He is a born leader. You can see it in him when he's doing the EDS, his players love him, he never shuts up. He has what it takes. 2-3 years time, we'll be strong enough to cope with the odd blip. Viera looks like a cracking coach. After all, we now have a system that suits a head coach, not an autocratic leader..

We all pretty say it's too soon for Paddy; so how about this scenario:

Manuel for the next 2 years

Jason Kreis for 3 years with Paddy as a first team coach - he's the most highly regarded young coach in the States and has taken over New York City FC - a coach used to working with players in a certain style

Paddy after then

Just me thinking outside the box, we need to look at the whole City family now, it could happen

Aliens could land on the Whitehouse lawn tomorrow.......

Guess what ?

There has to be a reason they deliberately got him from Real Salt Lake, plus sending him over here for 6 months to spend time with Paddy & Manuel

 

[Ray78]

He would be on the shortlist once Pellegrini leaves whether he gets the job is down to how he can work with Txiki Begiristain imho.

To understand the ethos of the wider club and bring him up to speed with the playing style ideally expected ?

Bingo. City want everyone to play the same way, whether its Man City, New York City or Melbourne City. Everyone has to play the same way (using the same principles). This includes the youth teams when the sister clubs eventually get their academies.
