Who do we want as our new Manager
- Thread starter tonycrowuk
- Start date
Jagoba Arrasate - young 45 year head coach, leaving Osasuna in spain after 6 years, 12th in top Spanish league.
Was not pushed or poached, yet felt he had reached the end with club, not enjoying it so believes that's when it's time to not resign a new contract which was due next month.
Osasuna were his first club, he apparently played a fast paced counter attacking side demanding effort and focus over flare. Apparently once the man City quoted as saying he was a miracle worker when Osasuna finished 4th in.Spanish behind R Madrid, Atheletico, Barcelona.
Due to very modest budget and squad depth at his disposal.
So perhaps worth an approach

Better to āditherā than get it wrong again. SH and co know full well how big a task they are faced with and how essential it is to get the right fit.

I understand Mercedes are very reliable and go on for years.They should be the automatic choice
A good shout, I just hope we get someone with experience. Being a manager / head coach is as much about managing players as men as it it tactics . Knowing when to shout and when to put an arm around a player and how to keep a squad happy is vital.
Anthony Barry or Will Still for me.
Former supposedly in final 3, presume is leaving Bayern with Tuchel.
Will still has just left Reims and wants to manage in the championship.
Sadly I think both are probably unattainable now, with sporting Lisbon after Barry (if their current boss goes) and will still most likely going to Sunderland.

Unlike when Foster arrived, close season does allow some reset/replan with time to get correct players for that and drill them. The idea of play just the same way but get better players is flawed, pulling off results on emotion filled 1 offs (ok did it twice) is one thing, but doing that in the churn of 46 games is entirely different. Latterly We stopped scoring goals and always looked like conceding whilst first half of the season we just played 'you score, we score 2 etc etc', entertaining but a hammering was always a possibility and when the scorers dry up an inevitability. So somethings do need to change, better (and maybe more appropriate) players is part of that.
I am less concerned about champ experience (recent club football as a 1 would be preferable) but the new person has to have a clear plan including a team of staff ready to join and implement that straight away. In the interview they should already know the squad and what they have identified as areas to work on and how they intend to achieve that. The second aspect is they have to understand and embrace that certain kind of intangible thing which comes from being an outpost... that cohesive family unit that has enabled us to be better than the sum of its parts. It is no coincidence that our best managers (despite how it ended for some) mobilised the club and the city...of course you have to be able to do 'the football' but it is much easier with that powerful force at your back, the Foster experiment showed what happens if you go the other way. One thing is for sure there will be alot of nervousness and maybe second guessing from the hierarchy... they fully believed Foster was the right choice and caught a cold when reality didn't meet the marketing, so the due diligence failed somewhere... they know they can't get caught again.
As an aside I now look at Foster as our version of Liz Truss and wonder if he will turn up in the future with tales of conspiracy and shadow forces, and that really he was correct all the time, just we weren't ready for his brilliance

These are both interesting options, what is noticeable is that the club styles and tempo, club atmosphere are very similar in Germany to those found in England, so this may be why German coaches have adjusted to the role quickly.
Footy also can go through fads, like looking at young managers, German manager, extravert managers and its easy to be swept along as fans.
Why SH ND and AP next few decisions so crucial and damn difficult.
I'm sure he'd apply. Perhaps he got a Taste for West Country Life at Brizzle City š¤
He has had a property on the Moorhaven site at Bittaford for years. He has regularly posted pictures of him and his family out and about in the South Hams and on the moors over the last few years. Seems Mothecombe beach is one of his favourite places.
Or Lee Hobbs, Des Buckingham, the Ossasuna manager or anyone else either in the press or on TV that won this week. Aren't you just repeating the same names and posts over and over?
