The Managerial Merry Go Round™

Emery’s record is far superior to Pellegrini’s. Both have won and lost with over powered teams.  Emery’s successfully managed 2 teams with CL and Cup aims and no more. Pellegrini didn’t succeed at Real and did well with Malaga.  Emery’s has CL qualifications in a competitive league and won trophies. 

 

I think people are looking too much into his PSG job. That’s above his ability and has different requirements. Rafa’s never a good Real manager, doesn’t mean he’s not a top coach.

 

The remit of the Arsenal job is the same remit as Valencia and Sevilla. His prior achievements are still valid.

Getting Malaga and Villareal to the latter stages of the CL while being very unlucky not to progress further is better than winning the Europa League IMO. Pellegrini also did better with City than Emery did with PSG and got a then record points total with Real Madrid

I did forget about that Villarreal side tbf. Lehmann saved the last minute penalty. Same year Arsenal got to the final right? That was a top achievement aye but doesn’t the fact it was the same year Arsene went to a CL final say something?

I’m that one season with Real they got beat by Lyon I’m R16 AGAIN. I think they’ve gone to the semis ata minimum every year since. He failed. 

But aye that Villarreal run was amazing.

I don’t think either are top managers tbh.  Pellegrini’s biggest achievements pre-City was a couple deep runs in the CL, no final appearances.  He did ok at City. Lost the league with KDB, Silva, Yaya, Aguero etc. to Leicester City and finished begin Arsenal. 

If I was looking to finish 4th and win cups, while being a seller club Arsenal seem to want. Emery over Pellegrini easily. 

Graham Potter to Swansea according to Sky.

 

Noooooooooooooooo! Noooooooooooooooooo! Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?! WHYYYYyyyyYyyyy

Jesus fucking christ I’m angry. Of all the clubs in England. You deserve better, Graham. You deserve better.

Good job he's not going to England then

I still don't get the Swansea hate from Kaiz tbh.

Graham Potter to Swansea according to Sky.

Who's that?

Östersund's manager. Worked absolute miracles there, taking them from the Swedish third division to knock out stages of the EL, playing mostly really good football and on a shoestring budget, even by Swedish standards.

Highly debatable.

Still huffy that they sacked one of the world's best managers in Bob Bradley.

Think I might have a few quid on Stoke coming straight back up with Rowett

Think I might have a few quid on Stoke coming straight back up with Rowett

I rate him myself, he was doing well at Birmingham only to get the boot for Zola and has kind of done well with Derby, but he needs to settle down and build a reputation and stop going from club to club. Stoke could be a good fit for him mind.

Dunno how he plays, but Emery does have quite the impressive resume.

Excellent win statistics and his list of honors is admirable.

UEFA Europa League: 2013–14, 2014–15, 2015–16

Ligue 1: 2017–18

Coupe de France: 2016–17, 2017–18

Winners are winners.

He could be Arsenal wha Mancini was to City. They probably need a bit of a disciplinarian, someone tactical and someone a bit less expansive or open with a soft Bellew than they were under Wenger towards the last few years if his tenure.

I think he's a bit of a dick, decent manager but from what I think he wouldn't sign at brum because he was trying to get other jobs and he's pretty much ditching Derby instantly

don't have much of an issue with managers doing that tbh, clubs are mighty quick to pull the trigger on them after all so why should they show any loyalty

From what I understand at Birmingham, Zola was lined up well in advance and Rosetta was peddled because the board wanted a name and fancy football. We all know how that turned out. When they came to SJP a game I was at to watch with my Blues supporting cousin they were 5th or 6th and not many points behind us with a good defensive record. We thrashed them 4-0 and it could have been 7. They almost went down that season under Zola. He was treat badly at Birmingham from recollection and based on what my cousin would tell me.

Emery's official website just accidentally confirmed his appointment.

Where's Sarri gan?

Chelsea is the obvious guess.

Well Napoli have done well there

Think Ancelotti is better suited to clubs with big name stats and egos. A good manager for Man Utd.  Dunno what it’s like going from Sarri to Carlo. Bayern players didn’t think raining was intense enough or something.

Doesn't Bayern players complaining about his methods mean that he might not be a manager for the big egos anymore? He might be better suited for a Napoli type job now.

Really weak appointment IMO.

 

Don't rate him at all.

He's always been very good at combining steel with talent. An attractive manager he isn't, but he knows how to be effective. PSG job was a hiding to nothing, it's obvious that he was a figurehead in there.

I just wonder how he will fit at Arsenal after Wenger. He sports a very different brand of football and I can see things going south if he doesn't come racing out of the blocks and fans/media get impatient.

So Sarri to Chelsea seems nailed on then? they love a bad season followed by a great one City might be too good for them to win the league but i wouldn't be surprised if they are good again from nowhere.

Really weak appointment IMO.

Nearly postwe it immediately but gave it a day or two to see if anyone else was as old as me.

They’re a Welsh team in the English league. It’s a horrific anomaly. Either go full UK or stick to your own national leagues. If you have seperate FAs and national teams, you shouldn’t interbreed in your leagues. If Swansea qualified for Europe they’d not take one if the Welsh spots. It’s all anarchy. ANARCHY!
