The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

[Bob]

Vitor Matos seems to have a different approach to our recent 4 managers. I’d be quite happy to see him given a go. I want to see some balls into the box,shots, goals - not the garbage I’ve paid for over years.

Looks a bit like him though

And we were duped by a gushing PR article…

Anyone get the feeling it’s sloppy seconds ?

And you know this how?
His whole management career is less than 20 games!

Could all well be agent talk or info fed by the club to not reveal someone else, Clement wasn’t in the media or bookies I believe for Norwich.

My thoughts exactly. We've been far more buttoned up and silent as of late. Why would we think this might be any different.

We weren’t very buttoned up and silent with Hellberg.

Maybe, maybe not. We really don't know how much of what came out about Hellberg were due to leaks and what the media created. It's also possible the leaks were on the Swedish side of things.

When Sheehan was sacked I posted about the possibility of doing something creative with ownership packages etc. obvs with Brendan or similar in mind. I genuinely thought we’d avoid this sort of appointment like the plague. I’m surprised.

Getting it wrong costs a fortune. Not only in management costs but also our player trading model doesn’t work when you’re struggling down the bottom as bigger clubs will either ignore your players as their stats and performances will look poor or alternatively screw you on valuation. If we go down, recouping fees out is hard enough let alone making a profit. Plus sponsors etc won’t want to be associated with failure or even, to be honest, mediocrity.

It’s utterly bizarre.

I'm also surprised they have taken this gamble, with Modric and Snoop Dog raising the profile of the club, I was expecting a Brendan Rodgers type pedigree.

Well Brendan himself would presumably be a huge stretch but there’s a whole world of options between Brendan and a manager with 12 games in total in the Portuguese second division.

I won't lie. I was out and about today and when this came up in my head, over and over it felt like someone gave me a gut punch. It feels like we have walked into a car lot looking for a Porsche and come out with a Volvo. I will get behind Matos and I hope it works out. Show us what we all don't know and what he is. Not all managers have to be prolific, but this seems like desperation. I suppose no manager unless he has had proven success like Rodgers etc will always be a risk. Even Hellberg. No guarantee that will work.

Does Hellberg and Matos play the same type of football?

Volvos are well built cars that hold their value really well , they are actually ranked 8th in the world of car manufacturers out of 300 across a number of dynamics

No Idea. Someone who is more on it can tell me if it's different?

I have bad history with them. Spilt milk in one back in the 80s. The smell never went away
