Comments on: The Wizard and Quieroz http://www.thedevilinme.co.uk/2008/07/07/the-wizard-and-quieroz/ Football analysis by Mark Payne Tue, 27 Dec 2011 13:56:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Mark http://www.thedevilinme.co.uk/2008/07/07/the-wizard-and-quieroz/comment-page-1/#comment-169 Mark Mon, 14 Jul 2008 14:01:49 +0000 http://www.thedevilinme.co.uk/2008/07/07/the-wizard-and-quieroz/#comment-169 I like the way you think mate. Another trip up the steps after a European final would be fantastic, but you only need to see what a jungle football is during the summer nowadays to wonder if it is going to get any easier. Bayern, Ajax and Real have all won 3 on the trot, I fear that may never happen again. I think the criteria for the next ass. man. should be based around whether or not he can do the job rather than his craftiness or foreignness. You know what though, the key factor is actually going to be how well he can get on with Fergie, I can see phone calls going out to mates personally... I like the way you think mate.

In retrospect he would not be the best option. I meant that the wily/crafty/continental, I feel, is the best choice. Someone who can take them to the next level from were CQ took them. Winning the EPL can be done with any old fart with the team we have. What is needed, IMHO, is a coach who can bring them a 2nd successive CL title. CQ gave them a sound defensive base, now they need someone who can get Rooney, Tevez, (forward to be named), and Nani to score more goals. Man U will not surprise anyone next CL unless they look at re-shaping their attack and involving others besides Ron-ego. true. In retrospect he would not be the best option.

I think we need someone from the continent with experience outside of England, who has played at the highest level and has vast experience coaching the highest level players. Obviously this is a tough task to fill this job but I like the look of Mancini (ex-Inter) and Laudrup (ex-Getafe). Laudrup might be a bit short on his coaching experience and Mancini might not want to be a #2 after being the big honcho at Inter. On the other hand, I'm sure that Sir Alex has a few others in mind. I just don't want to see someone from the old-school, a la Jim Smith, etc. I think this is at best a time-saving appointment, and at worst a step backwards from the progressive era of Quieroz.
