Ruud Van Nistelrooy applies for Coventry Job (3 Viewers)

[bawtryneal]

Can anyone think of any other ex M. U. player that succeeded in Management?

There always has to be a first !
Anyway, define a successful managerial career.
There are the elite ones over the years from Shankly, Ferguson, Wenger and Guardiola etc
Hundreds of others do a decent job with the tools (deck) at there disposal

Don’t get the excitement here. He’s done nowt.

Ruud would turn Norman into an absolute killer.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

nah, Ajax are the Celtic and Feyenoord are a bigger club as well.

It's like being Aberdeen manager

The point stands it’s quite a different test to what he’d be doing here.

As someone has already said our highest finish was under an ex Man U player

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

There are plenty of top class managers coming out of the Eredivisie though. Arne Slot is currently dominating the Prem and ETH’s Ajax performed well in the Champions League.

In general, it is an uncompetitive league but the standard of managers and players coming out of the league is way ahead of the SPL.

You have slightly missed the point. Arne Slot managing Liverpool is much more similar to what he did in the Netherlands than RvN going into the Championship from PSV.

 

[usskyblue]

Dodgy qualifications and the fact he’s not local aside..

Exactly my point
Would you say that Strachan had a successful managerial career
Compared to the majority he did !!

 

[fernandopartridge]

Norwich fans hated him. Especially as he came in for a very popular manager who the majority didn't want sacked (sounds familiar!).

Yeah, tbh with you it does feel like his best days were a few years ago. That said, I think Norwich fans just haven't gotten accustomed to the fact they're not that good any more.

If he's actually applied (he hasn't) I'd take him in an instant.

You don’t get RVN. You don’t want Lampard. Who do you want?

 

[bawtryneal]

According to the METRO Burnley are interested in RVN.

 

[peteCCFC]

Considering there's only 2 English managers in the PL, its obvious there's a lack of talented English coaches. We're better off looking abroad - somewhere like Spain, Germany or Scotland.

 

[FergieTheFinisher]

Mark Robins did OK

Mark Robins with Adi did well. Mark on his own not so…..

They’re it sacking Parker just yet.

I’d have prioritised Buckingham. Next on the list would be Skubala. Even Darrell Clarke. I don’t want a name for the sake of it.

So Buckingham who would have been unlikely to come. Skubala yes good shout I like him too. Clarke would be horrendous

 

[SBT]

So he's good at getting easy draws then, that's a plus

You know who else was good at getting easy cup draws

 

[False9]

Could easily become a Joe Edwards, Ian Foster type situation

[skyblueeyesrevisited]

I’m having a tenner on Lee Van Lampard

 

[procdoc]

The bookie's are not Doug King are they.

I never said they were I was wondering if the odds have changed that’s all. No need to be a c**t about it

 

[Cally Fedora]

Why is he unlikely to come. Big wage rise. That normally does the trick. Probably still less than the novice RVN and the “name” Frank though.

Skubala has pretty much the same amount of games managed as Van Nistelrooy?

 

[shmmeee]

Skubala toilet

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Infact the “novice” RVN has managed more games than Skubala

 

[procdoc]

Would take RVN, Lampard or Carsley over Buckingham all day long

How long you and Doug been working through the CV's bro?

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Let’s trade 1 former Man Utd striker for another

Only stating a fact and you get abusive.

[Chris1987]

No to RVN...Like Lampard, he's a name, but the Dutch tend to be quite authoritarian in management, and he'll fall out with players.

Also he's coached at Man U and PSV, The Championship is a different beast. At least Lampard has had experience in this league before.

Still would prefer Carsley. There's a lot of talk of what a good coach he is, hence his England caretaker role. Lives locally, played for the club. If RVN or Lampard get us promoted, and keep us up, they'll be wanted men, and are more likely to jump ship.

So who's your chosen candidate?

 

[Chris1987]

I think the idea of not choosing someone because if they are successful other clubs will tempt them away is folly.

This happens at every level of football.

If we choose someone who gets us promoted, we then stay in the Premier League, and he then leaves i’m 100% ok with that.

Spot on
