A few things to point out re LVG not having EPL experience:

- All the successful premier league era managers have come directly from abroad - Wenger, Ferguson, Mourinho, Benitez, Mancini, Ancelotti

- LVG has successfully managed in the Bundesliga, the league closest to the style and tempo of the EPL of any in the world. So he's not all about slow-paced southern european football

- One of LVG's two assistants from his coaching staff does have EPL experience - Patrick Kluivert had a year at Saudi Sportswashing Machine

Aberdeen is now abroad? :-k

I think we would say it's outside of the Premier League which I think is the jist of what GB is saying.

There wasn't a Premier League when Ferguson joined united and English football was a different game when Wenger joined Arsenal too. Neither appointment has much to tell us about getting a new manager in 2014.
 
Re: Hoddle as caretaker to salvage EL?

Worth a punt for 6 games? Nothing to lose.

Nah. Give Timmeh until the end of the season, task him with getting eighteen points out of eighteen. That will see us finish on 74 points, which would top last year's exertions.

Then let him go and get Lvg.

Alternatively, if we fail to get at least 4 points from the next two games, see if LvG (or whoever our preferred future manager is) would like to send someone over (his future assistant manager, maybe) to steady the ship and start implementing the coach's vision in advance of said coach actually arriving.

The very season that the EL becomes a way into the CL (via the place for the winners), we decide to let it go? Nah, let's go for it next year. Buy a few great players, and use the rest of these mediocre lads in the group stages, with the 'main' players coming in after the group stages.

He's lost the dressing room and lost the fans. 18 points should be a formality, but won't be now.

I disagree. It's almost impossible to keep a top 4 contending squad if you aren't playing in Europe.

Im a big fan of competing in the EL - i just think that a new manager coming in would be able to get more work done with the team in a shorter period without the extra games early in the season. from that season onward id very much want to be a part of it (asuming of course we don't burst in to the CL :lol:
 
problem with the EL is you don't compete, you start with 10 games against sides much worse than you then play 2 games against someone much better than you

If we're in Europe next season we are likely to climb into the top 16 ranked clubs, overtaking both Milan clubs.

Quite frankly it would be boring as hell not having those midweek games.
