Banter please ed.

Just out of curiosity, what premier league manager (no top 6 manager) would you of preferred to Moyes?

I would have to say Laudrup, plays great attacking football and is a great guy off the field(touch line)

Laudrup would be my no.1 choice.

I would have said Paul Lambert.

Superb coach, who in my opinion will succeed Wenger in a few years.

3.) 21 Oct 2013
Simeone I would go for, laudrup would also be very good.

I like laudrup, class player and done ok in his jobs to date, I think though you will see him destined for madrid or barca in the next couple of years

When looking at Laudrup he is a good coach but is he a manager or a leader? A few weeks ago I posted that we had missed an opportunity to change, to move away from an all powerful manager and set a structure to the club in which the coach coaches but doesn't rule as SAF did. The point is that Laudrup may be a good coach and could step in at Barca, Madrid or Bayern but less so given the role expected at OT.

It might well be a very less popular choice amongst the regular visitors of the site, but above anyone else, right now if I could pick someone, it is Diego Simeone. I think he would do an exceptional job here. And I think if he came in, he will be here to stay.

Deeps.

Great minds think alike:) they would probably ask for his head too :)

I think he would be perfect given where he coaches and probably won all he can win and would be a perfect move for him.

I also like Blanc at PSG, he has got them playing better football than when Ancelloti was there and they are my second favorites for the CL trophy.

So very true :) . Tactically he is extremely astute. Everyone thought with Falcao moving, Atleti would be push overs. But he is actually the closest to break the Barca Madrid duopoly. They are one of my dark horses for this year Champions League. Atleast they are going to go and surprise a few.

He does not come across as a clown like Jose does sometimes. He will not need 150 million dollars to set the shop in order. Above all he looks an extremely hard working and passionate guy. I think the two of us can donate in a "Bring Simeone to OT" campaign ;) . Alas not a lot of Brits actually like the guy.

Watched them completely nullify a real Madrid team a few weeks ago and given his budget compared to them you have to take your hat off. His teams are very compact and compete for every ball and guess what he plays only one striker most of the time.

I think they will do very well in CL but one step too far I believe. Speaking of CL, Arsenal against Dortmund should tell us how good this arsenal team is, I have a feeling they will beat dortmund.
