Who do you want as the next manager...

Enrique
Alonso

What’s Mancini up to ?

Have Vinny as his assistant and Big Joe as goalkeeping coach ?

 

[Corky]

Demichelis

 

[Pam]

He just left.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Resources or not, he still never tried to adjust tactics when it clearly couldn't work.

Let's be real, at least 75% of premier league managers now would walk the German league with Bayern and get fairly far in Europe. Doesn't mean we would employ them.

The jury is still out on Vinny in my opinion. He may well be a top manager or become one but he's in a situation now that would flatter almost any manager.

I don't think we need to take that chance straight away. I'd let him get more experience and then have a look.

Employing him right now stinks of rag behavior, a former player still essentially new to managing, albeit at a big club now in a one horse race league.

I'd give it a few more years.

Kompany simply didn’t have the players. He had about 2-3 PL players at his disposal.

There isn’t a coach alive who could’ve stopped them going down.

Just won the title with Al-Sadd in Quatar.

Only this.

Quite a feather in his cap when you compare the rabble that furguson spawned

Think it's pretty much guaranteed to be Maresca and I'm pretty happy with that.

Tbh.....anyone is going to be a step down...sort of levels the playing field so to speak

 

[dickie davies]

If we can’t get Zidane, then another flair player who won an awful lot and has some management experience

John Barnes

 

[Blue and true]

Ancelotti would have been a dream for three years.

 

[GoatersLeftShin]

I've always felt Maresca will be like the Pellegrini appointment - he's not who we really want, but will be a safe pair of hands until our man is available.

I suspect the club are looking at PSG and Bayern and waiting to see what happens there. Kompany coming back would be incredible, but I feel he needs to win the CL with Bayern first. I can imagine that if PSG win the CL again then their manager will be looking to move on anyway.

 

[RayCTID]

All my picks aren't leaving their clubs (Enrique, Kompany and Flick) or Ancellotti would be the best interim appointee but would still have to find his replacement.

 

[Double R]

Giggsy till end of season.

 

[Benfacula]

I think Maresca is the right choice for continuity. He knows the club, and the system. He has only had just over three years of management experience but he has three trophies and got Chelsea into the CL, which if you look at them now is an achievement in itself.

 

[Bez]

Phil Neal, Stevie Coppell or Alan Ball. Any of those guys will be ideal...

Fat Sam will keep us out of relegation and I wonder what Curbs is doing these days.

 

[kanovic]

In future I think Kev, Ilkay Rodri, Bernie and Dinho will become coaches, whether as part of a coaching team or as a head coach in their own right. For the immediate future it appears to be Maresca, and I'm sure we'll all get firmly behind him, once announced.

Kev said he has no desire to be a coach.. I think once he retires he will be done

That's a real shame, he was just so much quicker in thought than anyone else on the pitch. He'll have earned his retirement though!
