Carlo Ancelotti.
From those for, probably Pep. However, I think Juve must stick to an Italian coach.
I think I agree with the poll results tbh, perhaps a little surprised that Enrique got as high as 5% though.
I'm afraid he didn't make the Beeb's cut.
@Tobes.
David Moyes if I can have anyone, but from those four Pep 'Havid Moyez' Guardiola would be my choice.
Mourinho. He would love all the hate the team gets. Well, love it or make him go insane; either would be fun to watch.
I was mostly joking because Chelsea are so rubbish at the moment, but it's comfortably Mourinho, shortlist or not.Originally Posted by Yevrah
Wenger's lucky to have got 19%. Would anyone really choose him over Pep-ball or the arch-pragmatist?
Of those choices, I would.
Yeah but you've got to remember that Arsenal fanboys would have destroyed the shit out of that poll, the Beeb are actually lucky that he didn't have 90+%.
Arsenal fans probably forgot to share it on Twitter or did so far too late.
Seriously?
You'd rather have Wenger at Liverpool ahead of Guardiola or Mourinho?
I'm struggling to believe.
I'd like to see Guardiola at a club that isn't (one of) the best in Europe. Someone like Milan, or Liverpool. That'd show what he's made of.
Is there any particular reason for that being the shortlist? Enrique and Wenger wouldn't be in my Top 3.
Wenger for me.
You'd all have Mourinho if you'd actually experienced him managing your club, rather than watched him manage clubs you probably don't much like anyway.
Is that the managerial equivalent of seeing how Messi copes at Stoke on a cold and wet Tuesday?
I was hoping this thread might shed some light on it. My best guess was that they're the 4 highest profile managers in action tonight.
Maybe, but he'll never reach the levels of Sir Alex if he manages teams that are already brilliant.
I'm not sure any of them would make a practical difference. Arsene seems the most admirable of the bunch. Liverpool, as a club, would kill for what he's done at Arsenal (a club of similar stature). The others have absolutely no pedigree in that regard.
Sir Brian Little.
Close the thread.
If it was still 1996 I'd agree with you, but as it is if he had the ability to bring in the sort of players that transformed Arsenal in the 90s to Liverpool, he'd be doing so now.
Isn't it only because he won't get into bed with Mendes?
That might be part of it (and in this day and age marks him down as even more of a nutter), but the main reason is that he used up the low hanging fruit 20 years ago.
Guardiola by a mile.
Mourinho would be at the bottom of my list. There's more to football than win percentages.
Mourinho. He's a cunt, but he'd be our cunt.
Don't get me wrong when he gets us up and winning I'd ditch him for Steve Evans.
Has to Wenger out of that lot.
'The Special One'. Every time. The others are chumps.
I agree. I genuinely don't think I could root for a club he's in charge of.
I'd stick with Rodgers.
As opposed to what? Getting a billionaire owner? That wasn't on the option sheet, as far as I can see.
Hark at that.
Exactly. He's the most paranoid human alive but every fibre of his being goes into trying to make Chelsea win. He had me at shushing Anfield.
What? That makes no sense whatsoever.
He's a Liverpool fan, tbf
Eh? Why not?
Maybe I worded it a bit too strong, but let me get this straight, if he were hired by Liverpool you wouldn't root for them?
Pep has had it easy really.
'Pep', obviously.
I think the man is a complete and utter twat. I might still want them to do well deep down, but I honestly think I'd lose interest in football if he became Liverpool manager. He's a horrible person.
@Vim
Mourinho by a country mile, but I'd settle for Pep if he was off "managing FC ISIS."
The "bad person" sort of claims always seem so hilariously over the top to me. I mean, he's a sore loser with a stubborn and bitter streak, but he's not out robbing old ladies and killing kittens. It's pantomime villainy rather than anything actually malicious.
If he was in another field, e.g. in your workplace doing and saying the same things, I bet you'd call him a bad person.
The fact that football's an entertainment industry doesn't mean there aren't bad people.
He's probably a less horrible person than Brendan Rodgers.
Would you? A bit of a cunt, sure, but not a bad person.
Did you lose interest when a racist nearly won you the title?
He gouged an opposition coach's eye.
@Jim
Then you hate Mourinho more than you love Liverpool, which is quite laughable.
Right now I'd keep Mark Warburton in charge, but when we were in the peak of my lifetime I'd probably take Guardiola over the others. Not because I think he's a better manager, but because Mourinho's supreme pragmatism wouldn't be the ideal fit with a side containing Brian Laudrup and Paul Gascoigne.
