What would people think about Claudio Ranieri in charge?

He's barely spent more than two years at a club since leaving Chelsea and none of those periods have been successful. I honestly don't think he'd be the right man for us.

From a personal standpoint, I'd prefer to take on one of FDB or Poch because I think we need the "project" approach. I'd really like to see us with a sustainable model with every youth player being able to step into the first team with little trouble, due to knowing the roles of the system. I'm not certain if Pochettino has an eye on that idea like FDB's camp have stated FDB has, but having watched both Pochettino's Southampton and De Boer's Ajax this year, I have to say I prefer Poch's system. Whether or not the De Boer 433 would look better with older players is a good question.

Surely the point is, it's bloody hard to appoint 'the one'. Throw enough **** and one might stick (Redknapp in Levy's case). Pretty sure that's what Man U did before they found Fergie.
Bit harsh blaming Levy for not getting it right, this thread shows how hard it is and every manager out there is a gamble.

Tony Pulis.

Deserves an interview at least.

Sometimes its not about not getting it right, its about getting it right but meddling too much then ****ing things up. As far as im concerned, Levy ****ed up when appointing AVB, disregard the Harry fiasco, its appointing AVB. That was a true **** up in my view.

Not sure if this is sarcastic or not

He's just a bit flavour of the month at the moment. I'll admit his work with Palace is changing my perception of him but he needs to go a long way to the fairly disgraceful nature of that Stoke team. Many also quick to gloss over the amount of money he wasted there too just to keep them standing still

Watching the Palace response tonight was brilliant

AVB on paper made perfect sense. Young, intelligent, reputation, trophies etc, etc. I was fully behind the appointment but ultimately he turned out not to be the right fit

Biggest problem was them both being as headstrong as one another and the disintegration of that relationship. Same

**** me, just seen that result!

I respect your view but I certainly didnt think it made perfect sense - im sure his damn powerpoint did though. Many better candidates back then including Martinez, who was my first choice.

AVB did a lot of good for the structures of our club in his tenure.

Remember he had to cope with the loss of all 4 of our world class players in a 12 month period, had to overhaul Redknapp's ageing squad and do all that with negative spend. That's as well as improve our tactics, fitness and mentality.

The next manager is really going to benefit from the groundwork AVB did. A bit of confidence, a bit of organisation, and we'll be flying.

The Bentiez talk has been fed by Carragher and Thompson who have both said that he'd jump at the chance to coach us. Whether or not they are making noises in the press on his behalf is a question worth asking, but I think the rest of the talk has been forum members working out why that is (family still over here, not enjoying Italy perhaps). Personally I think with the success he's had at Napoli (CL football and cup win) will be enough to keep him there, I just don't think we have enough to lure him in.

Yeah, but I cannot remember seeing any actual quotes from him - unlike LvG and FdB. Even Poch answered a question about next season, waiting for the summer etc. Haven't seen a lot of media speculation about Benitez either. Could just be my impression though.

What would people think about Claudio Ranieri in charge?

For me he's in the "anyone but Tim" category of people we really should look to do better than.

Tony Pulis.

Actually has Palace playing decent football at times, that's the shocking thing for me.

Not sure if he deserves an interview, so much about our strategy is about developing younger players into top players and Pulis spent a lot of time at Stoke where the closest he got to a success in that regard was probably Begovic or Shawcross? Just doesn't seem like a fit at all.

If he can prove himself capable of developing players at Palace and developing an attacking style of play over a bit of time that is a bit exciting then perhaps...

Sorry, but Martinez was not a better candidate at that time. The potential was there, but he would have been a gamble back then.

What I meant by that is he ticked all of Levy's boxes. Didn't work out but the logic was there. This is the thing that makes manager appointments very difficult and why the success rate is so low across the majority of teams.

I really like Martinez, and with hindsight maybe he would have been the better appointment but who is to say that the success he's had at Everton would have carried over to us. Bearing in mind he's never had a large squad to work with, never managed 'big' players, never managed in Europe, never had to deal with big expectations etc. To a certain extent he still lacks a majority of those skills which our ideal candidate would require (e.g. a FDB or Benitez).

It's for similar reasons I'm still reluctant on Pochettino or any other of our mooted targets.

Or he has simply been doing whatever the chairmen have asked of him. We don't know. That's why you do an interview, to learn more about his approach and what he can do. The Stoke academy might be completely ****.

He did well while on a modest budget at Stoke, it was the more expensive signings that were poor. Again, that might as well depend on those running the business side of things.

I think you're giving AVB way too much credit here. AVB did some good things but the next manager has a huge job on his hands. Not impossible but a he'll need time to forge an identity that has been lost amongst so many new signings over the past two seasons.

Stoke had something like the third highest net spend over the past few seasons or something crazy like that. I think he under-delivered at Stoke when you look at how little they progressed with the money spent
