Who Do You Want?

What the fuck do we need a manager for?

The only reasons I can see is to either safeguard the guy who is really calling the shots from any criticism or to have a decent target for Piccs to blame for anything from the pies being too cold to the bootlaces being the wrong colour.

Trixie is the boss of City football and he has already defined the new "HOLISTIC CITY WAY" of playing as 4.3.3. and what players we need to sign. We are really only looking for a puppet. Maybe we should have a choice to vote between fucking SOOTY OR BASTARD SWEEP.

...and the City manager of the month for August is......(insert as applicable)

You could have a point there pal. We must be following the Rag model with their new puppet.

TBH, I'd give Piccs the job. He could play attacking attractive football. Maybe 10 outfield strikers all wearing blonde wigs and red lippy. Though we'd be a bit fucked in Autumn with leaves on the pitch.

Or if we're looking for someone who can spot a cheap kid....What a pity...we just missed out on Stuart fucking Hall

You sound a little annoyed mate.

Oh, and 'Tickets Please' ;-)

Your neck and neck with Ashton for "Over reaction of the century award".......just need a few more rants from both of you to decide the out right winner.

Hurry up though as the match is on in a little while and the competition finishes.

Martinez

[phips]

but I've included a few that maybe moving or willing to with a little enticement.

then you shouldve left Klopp and Ancelotti off the list.

Why shouldn't Klopp and Ancelotti be on the list?

Because Klopp has said he'll stay in Dortmund. Not that he would say anything else in this situation. I'm almost 100% certain that if we throw enough money on their way he would be ours.

I did stipulate 'entice' in my OP. Dortmund have sold one of their star players to their closest rivals and it looks like another one could be on his way. Any manager who has the crown jewels sold from under him maybe thinking closely about his own future.

As for Ancelotti, he's been earmarked to takeover Mourinho so if we get in there with our plans, and a sizeable wedge, it's a possibility

Re Ancelotti: PSG turned down Real's offer to buy him out...making it clear that they want him there for at least next season.

Re Klopp: Has repeatedly said he wants to stay at Dortmund and he strikes me as a guy who will stick to his word and genuinely enjoys his team. Dortmund have to sell Lew as he will leave for nothing if they dont. Now, Gotze, thats bewildering.

Of course, if we throw absurd money at anything there is a better chance of getting what we want...

[zuricity]

They are a well run outfit in most respects and since they went bust they've been on the up. Klopp is a manager that everybody seems to like. He's the down to earth, eccentric type of character that everybody can warm to.

Would he leave Dortmund, I'm not sure.

Beefy Klopp made a name for himself with Mainz some years ago , taking them up to the Bundesliga.If i remember correctly, Dortmund had others ahead of him and tried others during and just after their financial meltdown. They gave him the chance and he took it and has done really well. I'm sure his rumeration is quite good at Dortmund and they also have a lively youth system. It would take a great offer to get him, but he is quite a self assured guy, so he could just bite. I'm sure there is no love lost for Bayern too.

Brian Horton.

That guy got us close to being the pinnacle of attacking football.

With £100 billion at his disposal, imagine the treat we'd be in for.

Beagrie jnr on the left, Summerbee mk3 on the right, Carroll for Quinn and Huckerby (still got the pace) for David White, oooush, skill and speed. 99 points, 99 goals thank you very much.

He got us a 9th place finish with Fitzroy fucking Simpson in the squad, Ray Quigley, Adie Mike and Michel BASTARD wonky Vonky. THAT IS A HOLISTIC ACHIEVEMENT mother fuckers!

39 goals he squeezed out of those beer drinking injured cunts. We didn't have have hot water in the dressing room ffs.

The season after that we finished FOUR POINTS above relegation, Horton must have narrowly missed out on manager of the season, we had the added might of Maurizio Gaudino too for 20 games.

Argue with that.

One man we cant get Klopp

that post made my day.

[craigmcfc]

Klopp, but we've no chance of getting him unfortunately.

[bhfanatic]

Mourinho would just bring drama..We dont need drama we need trophies

[Crossie]

Horton invented tiki taki football with Quinn, Sheron and Paul Walsh.

Then along came Gerry Creaney and our destiny, the Horton legacy, was forever destroyed.

All our problems started when we swapped Paul Walsh for Gerry Creaney. When Creaney left he scored 4 goals in 3 years, he was dropped by Clydebank aged 30.

"Sell our best player" cried Francis Lee

"I refuse to sell Alan Kernaghan" yelled Horton

So we sold Gary Flitcroft instead and replaced in with long haired youth wonder Paul Mason.

Vote Horton, he'd come back for one last hurrah.

[s1ty m]

Pelligrini dies not fill me with optimism. No idea why, but I don't like it at all. Mourinho, absolutely yes.

Anyone else heard the rafa benitez rumours ?

[bigblue]

The main positive for Mourinho is that his appointment would scare the piss out of the rags and most other PL challengers
