**** no LVG. Write off this season with no manager, next season while he imbeds his new system and the season after that with the inevitable fallout with Levy.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
That sounds to me that the problem isn't LvG.
It's not who is best, but who is the best fit. Van Gaal is obviously the superior coach, with the superior record. But the club and the manager have to be right for each other. I'm sure there were better coaches than Harry Redknapp, but he was perfect for us at the time and nobody has done a better job in the Premier League era for us.
Maybe Sherwood is the right man at the right time. I'm not saying for sure that he is, but it is possible.
Van Gaal though, is probably a cut above anybody we have ever had as boss. But would his style work for us?
But why would anyone ever appoint someone as manager who has absolutely zero experience of managing a senior football team? I'm not sure how anyone could come to the conclusion that he's 'the right man at the right time' when his mnagement CV is a blank sheet of paper! With Redknapp, I wasnt a big fan however accept that he was 'the right man at the right time' based on the mess we were in and with a mess of a squad. We now have a talented international squad, the type of player Van Gaal is used to managing. Sherwood has no experince - zero - so I dont see how he could ever be the right man....
I didnt have any managerial experience when I became Manager at my firm. Yet ive been ****in successful and why? because im respected by all around me, because I know how we operate, what is expected from each individual and I work extremely well with both the Head and Senior Managers.
So all this is ******** mate, sorry. Youre just falling into the trap of a 'big name'.
We have tried and gone down that route. Now its time to try something different and im all for Tim.
Yep, strangely enough, every manager that's ever managed had never managed before at one point !
If you have the choice between a highly successful current manager and someone whose never managed before, you'd usually take the first option. I'd be interested to see what Tim does elsewhere though, I highly doubt he'll go back to technical director now, if he's offered a job somewhere else he'll take it now I reckon. All assuming he doesn't get the gig here that is.
interesting interview with Danny Rose in the Technical Tim thread, I think you'll enjoy it if you haven't read it already.
Are we any closer today?
what levy making up his mind....doesnt look like it.
