I wonder why clubs are reluctant/or dont give big Mick any money to spend. If he is that good then giving him a few bob might have just got them all over the line. But he didn't did he.

Absolutely right. He's not foreign. If Jostle goes, we'll end with another foreigner who's no experience of this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughthecone Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Newcastle,Huddersfield have foreign managers and that didn't stop them getting promoted also Chris Hughton was an Irish international. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle had a premier league squad and then spent over £50m signing premier league players to help with their promotion push, they also had a champions league and premier league winning foreign manager, and he had worked in English football for a long time. So I don’t feel they are the best example Of the 39 club’s who have been promoted from the championship, 33 have had British managers. Clearly it’s not a fact that you can only get promoted with british managers, but I would simply say their better knowledge and understanding of the league gives you a better chance. It’s probably why the clubs battling promotion this season have the likes of Warnock, Bruce, Pulis, Rowett, Johnson, O’neil As manager, and they haven’t gone for the obscure foreign manager route. Lets hope like Wagner at Huddersfield, it does pay off for us to have Jos here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham also have an excellent overseas manager. We had an overseas manager who did well for two seasons. "british manager" who knows this league" is not as gloriously stupid as "knows the club and what it means to the fans". But it's pretty dumb...

Those suggesting carlos as an example of foreign managers doing well might forget he actually failed to get promoted and has crippled our squad due to ignoring the slog that is the championship battle Its no surprise that clubs the likes of Swansea, Brighton and Leicester tried getting promoted with foreign managers but in the end got the success with british ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Mick McCarthy also manage the Premier League team that achieved the lowest points total in a season? I'm sure you just forgot that point off your list. Nope that was Derby not managed by MM.

Athelwulf Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Benitez managed Real Madrid, as well as the Pewl and Chewsea. The Magpies had got the advantage of having he best players in the division Huddersfield just got lucky. If Hooper had been fit, they'd have lost in the semis IMO. Hughton had already played and managed in this country, all his footballing career. Those three cannot possibly be likened to Carlos and Jos. I'm beginning to think that, being an outsider, Chansiri wants an outsider as a manager. It smacks of insecurity, a bit like Francis signing up his mates ... and not signing players like Cantona.

At least he's done a great job with Ipswich though. Can't wait to get him to Hillsborough, I only hope we don't have to fight off a load of other top teams to get him, I'm sure there will be a queue.

Most definitely, I'm just thinking ahead with big thick Mick at the helm. It could be a battle too get him with all the other top teams queuing up for him.

Was he the manager who managed the team to relegation with the second or third lowest points total? I'm sure I remember hearing about it somewhere, possibly Sky Sports back in the day. Anywho, I'm sure Mick will be a hit at Hillsborough, he's achieved so much with Ipswich in the last few years we would be mad not to be interested. I can almost smell the glory that Mick would bring, at least I think that's glory?!?!?!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
