What's the general consensus on his performance so far as a manager? (Looking at you @DBBTB) I’m no expert on it by any means but I did some reading on it last night. Seems to have done well over the course at Feyenoord. Praise for his man management and how professional and dignified he was, but criticism over a lack of a plan b at times in games against teams lower in the league. Looks like his time there just came it a natural conclusion. Ultimately won four trophies for them in four years, including their first league title in 18 years, when they had only won one domestic trophy since the turn of the millennium before he came in.

Finished 4th the season after that miles behind the top two. Finished 3rd the following season 21 points behind ajax and 18 behind psv. Failed in China. Better options out there. Won the KNVB Cup as well in 17/18. Feyenoord hadn't won the league since 1999. Hadn't won the cup since 2008. Ajax and PSV are much richer clubs. He done a really good job there.

steven33jackie 2,017 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 If he goes to Villa the reported clause activation of 3 million is a major disappointment if true. Hopefully he stays until the end of the season at least. If not I would like to see David Wagner offered the job, ex Huddersfield and Shalke currently manager at Young Boys in the Swiss league.

EMRFC 4,913 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Everyone knows he wants Liverpool eventually so the thing is if he stayed with us and didn’t win the league then it sets him back an awful lot from the Liverpool job. Whereas if he’s in the English prem and can manage a mid table/top half finish while playing decent football, he’ll be in with a shout at the Liverpool job eventually. Sadly, finishing mid table in that league is seen as more of an achievement than finishing second in ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GVB would, like Gerrard, bring the continued professionalism and learnings from playing across elite clubs in Europe. This is equally the part we'll miss alongside the tactical and managerial capabilities. TheKingObv 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave an example earlier in the thread of a club contacting me recently at 11pm to deny a transfer story. The fact its 10am makes absolutely no difference.
