A foreign manager? (1 Viewer)

[Otis]

If we were to replace TM why not go for a foreign manager? (Not counting the Welsh or the Scots!

Been lists bandied about with possible replacements, but very few of them are inspiring at all.

Been a few clubs that have had success in going down the foreign route.

I know it a gamble, but our success rate with managers is very poor.

Watford, Southampton, Middlesborough are just 3 that spring to mind apart from the big clubs such as Spurs, Man U, Chelsea etc.

Wonder why it is something we have never seemingly considered before.

Only foreign manager we have had is Nilsson, but he was already within the English game anyway.

Who was the foreign manager who wanted the job in 2009 or maybe 2010? Managed in the Champions League or the Europa League I think

Sisu need to use there huge financial power and get us Claudio Ranieri

Laszlo Boloni was his name. Managing in Saudi Arabia now

It's one thing managing in the PL with foreign players, and big budgets, but how many succeed at this level, or even the Championship? Hardly any is the answer.

Different kind of football is English lower league, and they don't know the players or style of football.

Martinez is an exception, but had played and lived in this country, and in the lower leagues for years beforehand.

I would think Chris Anderson will have German connections... Uwe Rossler ?

But how many British managers have succeeded here?

We need to consider all options.

You need to be solid in League 1, a robust keeper, a couple of big lumps at the back and another up front plus your Captain needs to be a dominant leader. If you blend that with a bit of steel, guile and pace, you have a chance. I really think that Nigel Pearson knows what is needed and for all his temperament he set Leicester on the way to amazing times !

always hated pearson at leicester but no doubt about it he succeeded at leicester twice and hull city in between.

we would never get him now though.

Foreign manager would be disastrous at this level, football at this level is not the same as anywhere else. Cannot think of any foreign manager to have success at league one or two say? Excluding Jimmy floyd say who largely inherited gary rowetts team.
Look at Notts county and leyton orient with there foreign ventures
