Former Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti eyes Premier League job

[EastLondonYid]

Only if he sorts out that annoying eyebrow.

I do think he has been a top manager,and may do well for us.....but why does the thought of him being our boss not excite me?

 

[Paolo10]

If it's very far from fucking broken what do you lot expect to fix with Ancelotti at the helm? The title etc? Get fucking real.

I hope they put him straight on PAYE lest he end up inside along with aul 'arry. One thing's for sure, if they were cellmates, HR would be the daddy and Carlo the mummy.

Kind of like the Poyet/Dan relationship only more wrinkly.

 

[stemark44]

And that worked so well for us, didn't it?

Yeah but it's not easy to get a management team together that can take on the toughest league in the world with some of the biggest and best teams in world football.

Just because something doesn't work the first time...........it doesn't mean you should discard it forever.

Harry has without doubt fantastic man-management skills but he is lacking tactically.
The dream ticket is a manager like Harry,working with a coach who is fantastic at tactics,having a scouting sytem that can spot exceptional talent throughout the world and having a Chairman who backs them totally.

To be honest we are currently not that far away from having that and with a few minor adjustments we could definitely make it.

It seems as though Ancelotti is going to become head coach at PSG. I'm guessing on a huge contract too.

And all that time he has been spending trying to learn English in vain...

He'll have to get the French lessons going now.

I hope this happens, mainly just to piss of Dan Ashcroft.

I think Harry Redknapp could flourish in this role and part of me hopes he is offered it.

it really is a good idea. so if redknapp is offered the england job, he could easily combine these two roles, jordan and bond could stay exactly as they are, at least in the short-term (bearing in mind that they will probably be coaching england too)

then we just have to appoint zola as head coach and everything is gravy.
seriously, that would be brilliant.


even if redknapp doesn't go to england we can bring in GZ anyway with a view to redknapp becoming DOF in season 13/14.

Why Zola? He didn't exactly set the world on fire with his brilliant management while at West Ham.

No, what I meant was that the continuity aspect of the DoF system failed completely. Levy's notion was that having a DoF/Sporting Director would avoid the wholesale changes to the squad that occur with a change of manager (wise, considering the way he's got through managers). However, Ramos decided the squad which was supposed to be good enough to challenge for the top four wasn't actually that good, demanded, er, wholesale changes and got them. We had ITK that this was going to happen, and some people rubbished it, but this was one of the rare occasions it was spot on.

I don't know if it was inside info or intuition/an educated/lucky guess, but DoublePivot called this a couple of months back.

What's happened to DP lately?

Strange one seing as he keeps going on about how he wants a new job in the EPL?

I hope we don't end up with Mark Hughes.... Who else is capable of doing as well as Redknapp?

 

[SpurSince57]

He does, but he's not going to want a job with anyone but us or one of the Sky Four (apart from Chelsea, obviously), and there are no current vacancies. If PSG come knocking, is he going to turn them down in the hope that Harry goes to jail/gets the England job?

I'm sure we can do better than Sparky. Chrissy Hughton, perhaps? :grin:

Actually, I don't see why Harry can't manage Spurs and do the England job.

an impossible conflict of interests

 

[SpurSince57]

Why should it be? Seems to me Capello gets an awful lot of money for watching football and then getting the team together for a few days every so often.

 

[Spurs_Bear]

an impossible conflict of interests

Please explain, don't really see how they would conflict at all.

 

[kaz Hirai]

so lets just say we had a big FA cup game against man city a few days after an international....

so if redknapp selected 1 or 2 spurs players, and say 4 man city players and played said man city players for 90+ minutes in the england game, and the spurs players were unused subs, or didnt even make the bench. you telling me that some people wouldnt complain that he was out to weakin man city in the upcoming cup game? now you would believe a manager would be proffessional enough not to do that, but it just raises to many questions.

look at all the crap we raised worrying that stoke would throw the game against man city last season to secure a europa spot

 

[SpurSince57]

And you seriously see that scenario as a possibility?

 

[kaz Hirai]

And you seriously see that scenario as a possibility?

regardless of whether you think its possible, it wouldnt be allowed. Raises too many questions

 

[SpurSince57]

Yes, but mainly of the FA's overweening self-importance.

I think....I think......that the FA being the ones who decide when the cup games are played, could potentially avoid this situation more than easily enough :lol:
