vulva Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 People underestimate the costs in replacing managers. If I were DC i'd take the view that CC has finished 4th and 6th, it's his squad, and to recruit a Pardew etc will cost a fortune both in terms of wage, and the inevitable overhaul of squad. As a business decision, it makes absolute sense to give Carlos one more shot at it. Some fans just like the idea of change, and the emotion of the whole situation needs stripping out.

There'd be no sacking, no not offering a new contract and in all, leaving on good terms. Agree completely. Carlos would get the biggest move of his managerial career on the back of doing a great job with us and we go in a new direction. No bad blood, good for both parties.

mogbad Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Sentiment wise I'd like CC to stay & finish the job, but only if he can find his positive attacking hat from last season. If he's still wearing his negative hat from this season then I'm not too fussed if he goes. My only concern would be who we replace him with.

soldierboyblue Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Over the past week the English media have linked Carvalhal with potentially taking over at Norwich City, Watford, and Porto. Whilst they may have a better hold on the first two clubs, it’s simply unreasonable to believe the English media know best who Porto are considering for their new manager, with there not even being a vacancy yet. At this stage, and over the past week, there’s been no talking up of Carvalhal to Porto coming from Portugal. Sure, the English reports have been covered, but just in a matter of fact way, without them being given big weight or prominence in Portugal. If the Portuguese media thought Carvalhal was potentially on the verge of becoming Porto manager, it would be huge news. There are three daily sports newspaper in Portugal, with a wide circulation, and the links between media and clubs are very strong indeed. Seems like total paper talk link to story http://sportwitness.co.uk/latest-carlos-carvalhals-future-portugal-sheffield-wednesday-future-doubt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S1Owl Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 But in star it says that we are reviewing players who will be staying next season. Surely it's the coach/manager for next season that'll be doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that,i don't believe for a second that Porto are even looking at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know he's capable of getting us in the play offs, so we'd be putting a lot of faith in a new manager the grass is not always greener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 'Seems... I know not seems'. Personally think it unlikely. Has his time here (or elsewhere) merited interest from a club the size of Porto? I know they may not have such an obsessions with 'big name' managers over there as in England, and he is obviously Portuguese, but he must have a good agent if he manages to land that gig.

It's a non story, page filler, total guesswork. Having said that, believe what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
