Ole's still got his cult. Not too big in numebers but vocal, which was even heard when they sang his song at the end of the match.
Can this silly argument die? If a company hires an experienced CEO and it doesn’t work out, they look for another experienced CEO or someone who has shown they can do the job.
A glimmer of hope.
You're right mate. They've also never given a chance to a random bloke from Australia with absolutely no coaching qualifications.
It's Castles so in reality the board are probably happy as feck with him.
It’s a perfectly sound argument that a better CV does not necessarily mean better performance in a job which is equally applicable to many roles at organisations.
Not true at all and here’s a good example for you.
Weird analogy given Ole had 10 years managerial experience before he became our manager. No offence but your tagline makes sense.
Congrats, you’ve found an anomaly. An exception to the rule.
10 years managerial experience in managing a small club and Cardiff and got sacked for relegating them. Tim Cook doesn't need to have previous CEO experience. He was the acting CEO for two years from 2009 to 2011 before he was appointed as the CEO in 2011. He had the knowledge and experience of running Apple for two years.
Feck no. Last thing we need is another manager that is going to implode in 2 years time. After which we'll hear that we need another rebuild. The manager needs to get all his ducks in a row to compete, yada yada.
Something tells me that if Liverpool beat us, the decision will be made. Not straight away, but come the end of the season we will have a new manager.
The whole "rebuilding after manager leaves" thing is completely overblown. It's why we hired a director of football, unless we are operating moronically (entirely possible with this club's hierarchy) we are targeting players based on a pre-conceived way we want to play. The players will not have to be replaced as a whole as managers change. Obviously new managers will get new players in because that's how it works, but we should NEVER try to go full rebuild again like we did when we hired LVG. Again, only if the club is running in an intelligent way. This would means managers are then hired under the idea that they can implement their tactics with our current structure of buying players and developing them. If that means Conte, Ten Haag, Zidane, I don't have a clue, it means (again unless we're still as badly run as ever) this whole process is planned.
Think we can beat Liverpool and still have a new manager come end of season.
The decision really should not be based on one game. In an ideal world, a 5-0 loss or 5-0 win against Liverpool is just one game and shouldn’t sway the decision massively either way
It's not an exception, it's the norm. Internal promotions in companies are more common than hiring externally which shows you don't necessarily need bags of experience in carrying out a job, you just need to be able to do it when you're in it. And you took the way I made my original point wrongly, I was making the point which you cemented in that a CV isn't everything or even really that important - just look at what Zidane did at Real with little managerial CV.
Experience is experience, I never said it was glittering. Yes exactly, Tim Cook picked up the reigns in a similar way to Ole, on an interim basis due to the former post-holder leaving abruptly. Ole actually had managerial experience when he was appointed whereas Tim Cook had no CEO experience so had to learn on the job. They both have continued in their jobs for performing well in the eyes of their boards.
Footballing denials are worse than political ones. Every club has feelers out for next their next managerial appointment. Even City. They don’t know if tomorrow Guardiola will quit to become a Tibetan monk. Business contingency planning applies to football too.
Tim Cook had two years to see if he is capable of running Apple or not before he got appointed to the position of CEO. Before that he was VP at Apple. he did not have to learn on the job. He was only appointed after he did two years and they found that he is perfectly capable of doing so. Ole got it after 3 months of interim manager. One was already in the company and acting as the CEO for two years. The other was plucked out of a small corner shop(compared to Apple) and put in charge.
Any supposed correlation is a figment of your imagination, but as long as you’re enjoying yourself why not.
Why would we hire a toxic prick who has only ever disappointed in the CL ?
But he scored that amazing goal to win us the Cl.Right? Why would you want someone who won 3 CLs, 2 La Liga titles, and 2 Spanish cups in 4 years of management?
I personally prefer a manager who wins nothing in 3 years and has less points per game than Mourinho yet somehow dupes most of the fanbase to think that things are so much better nowIf that is not skill, I don't know what is.
No what's a weird analogy is suggesting we should give up on managers with good CV's because it didn't work with Jose and LVG. It was a fecking laughable opinion. Especially when it was very clear LVG and Jose were no longer great managers in the modern era. Their time had passed.
Aren't you bored of repeating the same thing day after day though?
So if we get beat 7-0 today you are still behind him?
What a way to spin things to suit your agenda.
Clear to who? Not them or the fans singing his name every week. You’d think he’s still coming of the bench to score goals.
It’s no agenda everyone knows all clubs have contingency plans. If tomorrow Guardiola decided he wanted to live on Canvey Island as a recluse do you think City will start planning for his successor only after he leaves?
If so,which personally I doubt, then that’s a very sad state that we live in, in modern times. Personally I believe that the real world of football isn’t as glamorous or as sneaky or as dramatic that we as football fans make out in our heads, I believe it’s a lot simpler than we think.
Agree. Havent been happy to hear both Ole and McTom come out this weekend saying we are the underdogs in the match today. It's this whole lowering expectations and accepting nothing but challenging. This excuse and approach has to stop. Neville also tried doing it last weekend saying if Ole gets top 4 and wins the FA Cup and Europa cup then it's a good season. Nonsense, with this squad and the money he has now spent he has to challenge this season for the title.
Constantly. It’s sensible. Moronic to only start planning for something after it has already happened. Manager’s are the same. Do you think Ferguson ever stopped searching for the next star forward or would it have been a sad state of affairs if he didn’t recall all the scouts once we signed RvN?
