Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) I agree that taking Ajax to the title 4 times may not be the do all and end all but I think we can forget his Inter time. He was taken to inter to change their football philosophy and make them more attacking. He was given virtually no time or leeway to do it and if I remember right he did not even have a pre-season to change things. He inherited virtually all ageing players who were not open to a change of system and he did not speak the language which caused even more communication problems. In this case it was "You can take horses to water but you can't make them drink." That apart the board who brought him in to change the whole philosophy of the club bowed to the players will, leaving it an unworkable situation. One thing is for sure he will make the best of the youth system if possible and he will continue with attacking football. I would crawl over broken glass to get De Boer if McLeish is the alternative. However, we have been stung before by seemingly good managers like Warburton and PLG so we need to tread carefully.

Uilleam 5,429 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Was he not touted for the job before? Anyway, he is Portuguese, a seemingly fashionable nationality in football these days. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,247 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 A few bits and pieces from FF ... The Sun claim Gary Rowatt has been in touch. The Big Cheese That's the name I was given on 4 February. Jellybeans ... The Big Cheese knows a few people I know.. Kenny Crawford @KCrawfordBBC 18m18 minutesSt Johnstone boss Tommy Wright tells @BBCSportScot he's "humbled" to be linked to Rangers job but labels it as "pure speculation". JellybeansRe: Billy Davies HAS been spoken to ... Gary Monk has also been interviewed. I would assume that would be for summer and not immediate. Garry who? -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry_Monk 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,329 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) I'd be happy with either Garry Monk or Gary Rowatt. Edit - Rowatt would be available immediately and therefore would be appealing to the Board. Edited February 13, 2017 by Bluedell 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,198 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Gary Monk did a very good job at Swansea after he retired - and is currently doing an admirable job at Leeds. Cant believe (or maybe I should say don't want to) we have spoken to Davies - we are showing such a terrible lack of ambition. I'm not even sure who I would want to be honest - but I think I would prefer we took a punt on Arthur Numan than any of those names mentioned. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
