Kenny Dalglish Won't Be Delivering the Module: English Premiership 2011-12

every word of that post is true Matt except i wd substitute "would" for "might"

David O'Leary, I think, is who you want. I.e. Mick McCarthy but not.

Having checked his Wiki he appears to be available and also was born in Stoke Newington.

Ideally I want somebody with vision and given the time and patience to build that, tbh. I want a bit of ethos.

HE'S READY.

can O'Leary manage a club who don't want to go bankrupt?

o'leary is the biggest wanker in football mgmt, a real prick

I know. He was born in Stoke Newington.

He's even more long term unemployed than Curbishley

maybe Capello wd like to continue working in England

alternatively this dude looks pretty ready tbh:

sorry.

my dad really rates Jewell.

i don't.

O'Leary took the traditional Leeds Legend route and went to work in the UAE for a bit. He's still in the game.

Lol did anyone of you thought it is going to be Van Basten to Wolves bcz he's trending?

(He's Heerenveen's new manager btw, very odd choice)

hasn't Van B been a bit rubbish as a manager?

Very. And sadly he's going to my beloved regional club H'veen.

they seem kinda twee

But I suspected him to land a high profile manager job at Chelsea or Milan or Inter or something. Feels like those clubs mostly go for a big name, rather than a good manager (AVB an exception, he's a good manager at a shite team tbh)

LOL IK

They're not hearts btw, but red water lilies, as represented in the Frisian flag

ok i take it back water lillies are tuff

toandos did you post under a different name or are you new or have i just not noticed you before?

did warnock take the leeds job? he seems like an obvious choice. still waiting to see di canio be given a premiership job. curbishley was boring as tits, lets face it. steve bruce was the second worst premiership manager of the past ten years (jewell at #1).

there have been worse than those two. what about, say, sammy lee?

jewell had the worst total of points ever

also bruce deserves it for a sustained shittiness

re jewell - at derby county or overall? cos to be fair to him, he did keep bradford and wigan up, and had one excellent season at wigan. his career has undoubtedly gone down the toilet since then, i agree.

forgot he was at bradford. i was thinking more about having the worst season ever automatically had him #1 (but also not much thought went into it, come on.)

Alan Shearer.

dowie

avram grant's pretty crap too

Hardly Paul Jewell though

ya grant didn't win the league nor cl that time

grant came bottom with portsmouth and west ham - anyone inheriting that chelsea team would have done ok.

lotsa managers woulda come last with those teams and done worse with chelsea

don't think any competent managers would have come last with west ham. his record with small premier league clubs is as bad as anyone's.

Weasel Diesel - have you suddenly started posting again after many years or have I just not noticed you?

i post very, very occasionally ;-) last time was probably after ireland qualified for euro 2012. i only get involved for huge footballing events like that, and big mick being sacked

Yeah that West Ham team with competent management could have stayed up. Portsmouth something of a special case.

weasel, i want to recognise that you've a case there, before i say

rafa

That bloke that took over Charlton after Curbishley, Les something

Les Reed, though wikipedia has reminded me that Dowie was there first. Reed was the second Charlton manager to get sacked in the first half of that season.

how about Chris Hutchings

Thanks. I was going to say that bloke at Wigan who nobody had heard of, but I couldn't even remember his name when he was in the job, never mind now.

Bruce 2/1 favourite with Paddy Power. sweating.

can't see it. his rep is too tarnished after the way things went at sunderland, this season particularly. fret not, nv!

I'm always a bit embarrassed for clubs when they appoint the assistant manager as number 1.

they usually do it after the assistant gets off to a good start, when the team gets an artificial kick that a change of manager usually brings (pearce, roeder, spragia being examples)

Heavy rumors (France Football, Dutch press) that Eden Hazard has agreed on terms with Spurs for a transfer next summer! Sole condition seems to be Spurs need to qualify for the CL.

Wenger won't be too pleased about all of this I think, Hazard having forever been linked to Arsenal.

bale out?

bit harsh on mccarthy in terms of his overall career here. getting ireland to the world cup in 2002 was a pretty stupendous achievement, and they did well when there too.

't would be the English transfer of the summer imho
