The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

[Ronald Parp]

Lots of typical merry-go-round names would be equally as uninspiring in my opinion. Only one I would be in favour of is Mowbray. I was hoping though, that we’d go for someone with more experience as a manager in general, not fussed on if they know the Championship. The league is over hyped a lot for me.

And people laughed at Parkinson at Wrexham. We are a basket case.

Surprised we haven't heard the name Carlos Carvalhal. I think he would certainly be someone who could settle the ship.

His stupidity took us down.

Also think managerial appointments are increasingly becoming a completely random grab-bag in terms of success. Manning at Norwich was a great appointment at the time, and we'd have 100% taken him here, yet he's led them to the worst start in the club's history. Still should have done much better at Southampton - even higher up, there was no reason for Potter to be so bad at West Ham, Andrews is doing much better at Brentford than anyone expects.

So much of the success (or lack thereof) for a manager at a club is unquantifiable 'vibes' that you really can't judge anymore*

*Rooney will always be shit

There’s definitely something to that. I always think of Kompany getting the Bayern job. Some experience with Anderlecht and Burnley but nothing on his CV suggests he would have been among the names for a job that good. Bayern saw his playing style and that he could manage a group of players that were above the level of their league (Burnley in the Championship) and thought those traits could apply well to them.

Obviously our situation is a lot lower but perhaps this is what we’re doing with Matos? He fits the style remit and supposedly changed the culture completely at Maritimo in a short space of time.

Obviously, the big difference is Bayern aren’t in danger of being relegated if it goes wrong.

How many reputable sources are reporting Matos? Genuinely wondering because from what I gather only FLW and one place in Portugal has reported it? BBC listed him as one of the candidates were speaking to.

Another fan site has reported yesterday it’s practically done and will be announced soon.

I still to this day believe that losing Fer to injury had a huge part in us being relegated.
Things just went to shit from that moment after doing all the hard work previous.

The end for me was when Ayew got sent off against Huddersfield.

Why oh why can’t we go down the experienced ex-Championship manager route?

Personally i agree with this especially in our current managerial merry go round of poor decisions.

Question is who is out there we could recruit !?

We need a manager for longer than 12 games

Oh wait

Couldn't disagree with that either.

I think Carvalhal did a good job up to a point and things like the Ayew sending off and Fer injury changed it.

 

[Ringwood]

We can not be a serious outfit if we let the manager lead on recruitment or pick his own players. There is no reason to think he will know who to sign or have enough knowledge to benefit us. Unless we sell somebody and it may have to be Ronald getting getting an inflated fee from the middle east I do not think we will have much money to spend due to the summer splurge. Maybe 1 fee and change the loanees around but they should be picked by the recruitment staff and Matos should know this going in, even if he has final approval.

I agree on selling Ronald to the middle east.

How much would Notts Co pay?

We were looking for a Volvo and came out with a Lada.
