And in any case, if talks are happening (which I pray that they are - and that is coming from an atheist) then it could be as caretaker coach till the end of the season. Guus Hiddink is a well known, respected coach that should certainly grab the attention of the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raw10 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Chances are Chelski might recall him after they sack Maurinho until they can find someone else. Thats what he has done lately , i.e. being an interim manager, and will always do. But no harm in asking. He can be our interim manager until we find someone permanent next season.

jw1739 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 I still think a number of people need to go from the Football Department. Not just van 't Schip. People tend to overlook the number of changes that we have seen there already - the latest being the addition of Michael Petrillo, who is basically in charge of "list management." You don't make such an appointment if you think that the list is already being well-managed. None of these changes so far seem to have made any dent in the malaise that is gripping the club. van 't Schip is but one of the common factors who have been there from the beginning; there's more to the malaise than just him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommac Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 I think that is JVS gets the boot, then Gombau is the most likely candidate. We know CFG like to keep it all in the family (Vieira to NYCFC) and he doesn't strike me as the type of guy who would want to be out of actually coaching/managent for too long.

NewConvert Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 JVS has copped a lot of flak from some on this forum labelling him nothing more than a youth coach. Now I am not about to defend JVS but to me it raises an interesting conundrum. I note that a lot of coaches in the EPL, La Liga, etc don't seem to train youth (they have other coaches for that) and basically purchase players as required, usually a finished product. In effect these coaches are strategists and man managers. The A-League is a different proposition because one of the criteria for the league is to develop youth talent, and this is reinforced because talented players move through the system and then are sold to overseas clubs. So to me the conundrum is how much weight we should give to the ability to coach youth players? As an example the CCM under Arnold were reknowned for their ability to develop elite youth talent but in the same period I cannot remember a Sydney coach capable of doing the same. Gombau, Ange, and JVS also come to mind in spotting and developing raw young talent. Whereas Lowe does not, neither does JA. So although Benitez and Mourinho are available would they be able to develop these younger players? Somehow I think not. Having Dutch friends, they have also told me that Louis van Gaal is actually quite good at developing young players - in spite of his travails at Man U at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I don't think anyone on here suggests that we shouldn't attempt to develop young players. What many of us feel is that our current Head Coach does this at the expense of a hard-nosed approach to winning A-League and FFA Cup matches and hence winning silverware and participating in the Asian Champions League. There is sufficient evidence from this half-season alone to indicate that van 't Schip promotes youth players to the senior squad on a regular basis while overlooking more experienced players in the squad. I'm not suggesting that he does this to deliberately throw away points, but it could be argued that that might be the outcome of some of his decisions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
