We need someone with a different tactical philosophy, otherwise we risk doing the same thing all over again.

Important job interview questions.

What do you think of inverted wingers.
What do you think of the high line + pressing approach.
Who is the most important player in the team (wrong answer: defensive midfielder)
 
I've been a fan of Bielsa for a long time. He might not be the most consistent of managers, but his teams are always entertaining and I think he could do really well with some of our players. We have a lot of the right player types for his style of football. Unlike most discussed here he's actually available. It would be the truly exciting choice if we were to change managers. Perhaps I just have a weakness for mad men...

Honestly it's still very early with Pocchetino isn't, but the signs are good. Unlike you I don't think we need a whole new approach, we just need someone who can make it work.

All of that said I still think AVB will be around come January first and I still think there's a good chance he'll turn it around.

Hmmmm Biesla until the end of the season MIGHT be an inspired appointment. I think Soldado and Lamela will certainly strive that's for sure.

I still think Capello is criminally underrated by most. His brand of football is not as negative and boring as people like to make out...in fact i think his sytsem suits this league far more then the one we're currently playing.
 
Id bring Harry back in a heartbeat - few caveats though - like no Crouch haha.

Although QPR havent actually been that entertaining - they have been a stronger more efficient team this season - so says my father aka ST Holder.
 
Frank de Boer or Lucien Favre. Stretching it a bit, perhaps Diego Simeone if we offered him tons of cash.
Sigh. Sack the prodigy and start over. Sack the prodigy and start over. Sack the prodigy and start over. It's frustrating, doubly so because I desperately wanted AVB to succeed.

However, if the alternative is a season of losing by five an six goal margins whenever we come up against even moderately talented sides, then fare-f*cking-well, Andre.

completely echoes my thoughts entirely.....was desperate for him to suceed.

probably Hoddle in the short term...re-evaluate next season.
 
tbh, I'm not sure I care, I don't think AVB is the problem and I think anyone who would take the job is gonna do worse

We've not played well under AVB. A few players have come on - Bale, Sandro, Vertonghen. We lack a psychologist, a motivator, so when we run out at WHL the team are psyched, ready, confident. We don't look like we know what we are doing and can hardly pass the ball.

arry on talksport now......says we shouldnt pull the plug on avb
 
If I'm being serious, De Boer is an obvious/would be my prefered candidate.

The thought of Levy calling up the Ajax execs and the reaction they would have at least gave me a slight smile for the first time in a couple of hours.

Cheers.

What is it about De Boer that makes him your preferred candidate GB? He's obviously unproven as a manager outside Holland, but just as obviously he's gotten a young talented Ajax side to play some very exciting football in Europe (and probably at home too). Anything more going on?

Right now I'm sad and frustrated like I imagine most to be. I'm not angry, I think some are.

Unlike a solid portion of the posters here (and I'm assuming the fans in general) seeing the back of AVB wouldn't make me happy at this point. It would take someone a bit special coming in to turn my mood around right now. Why I'm more on the "give AVB more time" side of things perhaps.

If Bielsa came in though I think I would almost immediately replace sadness with excitement and frustration with hope.

Wow

Given the names being thrown up here then we are better sticking with AVB. None of the caretakers are going to get us CL or a trophy and some of the 'proper' names are a nightmare.

Liverpool are a season plus ahead of us in having a settled side. **** performance today, beyond belief, but we gain so little by ****ting our load now.

'cus he's not ready :) Well maybe he is right. AVB is not a mug. He's smart, knows his stuff. But he's reacting to the way the team is playing (not all that well) instead of setting them up to play well. If that makes sense. I don't think there is a happy ending with AVB. Things may get better but I don't see him delivering motivational leadership to compliment his tactical skill set.
 
Why not Roberto Mancini ? He has won ton's of trophies , and are currently in Turkey . He is still young aswell
 
At this stage you don't want to bring in another 'project' - a motivator (experienced) is what you need IMO. We have a lot of new players - they need to gel, getting in someone who wants to play chess with them isn't going to help.
 
I favour a coaching commitee of King, Freund and Hoddle. King works with the defence, Freund with the midfield and Hoddle moulds the rest into an attacking force in his own image :p
 
Madness to even consider Laudrup or Pochettino on the basis of being one season / half season wonders. We need an experience man who is proven over a period of time.
