Cheshunt away!

funny how I see Harry Rednap out of his dugout shouting instructions to the Spurs players every week. Ferguson does it as do just about all professional managers. shouting does not mean abuse. A football pitch is a large playing area and if you don't shout you just might not get heard!!!

 

Mind you, I guess SM is a more qualified manager than those I have mentioned so you must be right!

E U you just set youself up for it time and again dont you mate . Movitation is whats needed not a head in sand person.

Having played and reffed soccer, rugby and basketball over the last 45 years I have realised that there is a tendency to become too focussed on your own performance and maybe that of a particular individual in the opposition side that you lose the Big View of the game as a whole.

This is where the captain, your team mates and the coach come into play. A switched on keeper often plays a similar role.

They can direct you to areas of need and raise your awareness.

A passive coach has to have total confidence in his on field Genral.

Ranting and raving are usually signs of frustration and only add to the chaos.

Firm measured demands and instructions not only help the team but can on a grander scale instill the confidence a side needs in their coach, in that they like to see an in charge and confident

manager making tactical changes and suggestions.

Thats a fair assessment Wagga of team set up and coach/player responsibility.

Difference between Fabio and Mclaren is one was a proven experienced multi 5* pro clubs major trophy winning manager and the other being a person at the the right place at the right time.

I can see the comparisons with Margolis and Mclaren in the appointment scenario, but one was alowed to fail and did, the other is evidently working hard with zero financial reward and in my view deserves a season to prove himself. If at the end of the season it falls well short then a review can be made.

But lets not believe we can afford or are big enough to attract a Fabio of a step 4 level, the thought is nice but difficult to achieve.

I believe an ideal manager would be an ex pro, Graham Roberts is proven as is Dean Holdsworth, players retiring and wanting a team to work with for their pro licences would be good as well. These ex pro's dont need the money but just want to achieve the qualifications, Nigel Clough a prime example.

It wont be for everyone but dream enquiries can be made to the likes of Martin Keown (currently coaching Oxford University), Bergkamp(still living in north london and doing coaching badges but with no club), Furlong, currently on a years contract with Southend but at 39 is running out of playing days, at his current level.

What i've stated is partly dream and a line of realistic enquiry, but should the managerial position be made vacant for the 2009/10 season then it should be advertised for everyone to apply for and for the best candidate to be appointed, the fans deserve the best cos we are proven to be the best supported home and away this season.

Yes managers step out and tinker with player positions, but most of the time they are rowing with the 4th official or chasing after the linesman along the touchline. Fergie, Wenger, Scolari, Southgate, Moise, Hughes, Kinnear and Benitez included. But the site of Tony Adams, Martin O'neil on the touchline is more comical than real benefits to there team.

Each manager will conduct themselves how they feel comfortable in doing so during the pressure of a 90min game. However what each manager needs though above all else is luck.
