0114 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I really hope this recommendation doesn’t go far. Is Assistant Manager of Colombia the only thing he’s done? Never managed a team. Would be crazy to even consider if. Chansiri needs to sort the manager situation quickly now, it’s dragged on long enough. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m inclined to think it’s a load of bolllocks, or at least hugely overstated, but not sure why he’s put his name to it. Its like he’s accidentally merged a load of SWFC articles together by mistake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 He has as much chance as succeeding as someone else. Let’s be honest, very few successful managers are available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogerwyldesmullet Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Brutal truth is Nestor plus Spurs reserves is probably going to be more successful than Rowett looking for favours off Eddie Howe. Im bored now anyway. Put the kit man in charge and let’s get on with the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never managed a team. Would be crazy to even consider if. Chansiri needs to sort the manager situation quickly now, it’s dragged on long enough. Look I hope not, but it wouldn't surprise me if this happens. First Nixon reporting this sort of like he did with Carlos. That makes me a bit nervous. Now the good and bad. Yes, he's never managed before. Coaching/managing a club day to day is in a different realm. However, he has spent a considerable amount of time as assistant to Jose Pekerman. In fact he's about the only bloke he's ever worked for. For those who aren't football nerds, in Argentina there were two competing philosophies of coaching. One preached fluid, free flowing attacking football as practiced by Luis Menotti. The other, the win at all costs, gamesmanship, anti football as practiced by Carlos Bilardo. Born from Menotti was Bielsa, born from Bilardo was Diego Simeone. Well Jose Pekerman was borne from Menotti, in fact he recommended Bielsa for the Argentine national job. Bielsa has his disciples like Pochettino and Sampaoli, I suppose Nestor Lorenzo would be a disciple of Pekerman. If you can follow that, well done. I suppose it's feasible that they looked at L**ds attacking style last year and wanted to see if there was something similar to Bielsa without breaking the bank. Maybe they asked one of Bielsas 'disciples' in Pochettino and that's the answer he got. Apparently Lorenzo speaks fluent English, knows a bit about the English game and was invited over by Benitez to sit in on the barcodes training, so he's not completely alien to the British game. But my god, no thanks, I hope we have learned our lesson. After all, as good as dirty L##ds were to watch at times, they're in the same division as us this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quist Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 This would be about as riskier appointment as you could get. Pochettino I suspect knows little about Wednesday and he is doing this as a favour for his mate who wants to work in England. International management is different to club management and an assistant at that level gives you no preparation for club management what so ever. In addition he is not young so why has he not had desire to mange previously? You have to suspect funds are running low and he is looking for some easy money and asked Poch to put him a word in. Just because Poch is a good manager it does not mean long lost pal is. If its true Pochettino has gone down in my estimation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
