Especially when he's done it with a club who had never won the league in Norway and now looks on course to do it back to back. Also performing well in Europe with that club as well, topping their ECL group with Roma in it. Fair enough if you don't fancy him but it's hardly a "ridiculous" shout. He's linked with the Norwich job as well. Norwegian champions to Scottish champions isn't the problem, bobo glimt to Rangers is.

Both love the club, were top top players who'd sell the club to any foreigners and believe Numan anyway still lives here. Bring back the dutch connection Isn't Numan a scout rather than a coach? Heck wasn't he at Villa at one point? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart1994 4,425 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 In regards to Gio, I wonder what the Dutch league is like in terms of being a better side, I wonder if the poorer sides would just sit in and defend like there life’s depended on it like some teams do here or weather they’d have a go.

scottyc06 6,927 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 See for me, if Gio wants it fucking give him it!! No arsing about! His preferred style of football would make it an easy transition for the players! Full understanding of what’s required as well!

And that's fair enough, not saying you can't want him, but I think saying it's ridiculous/crazy is going a bit far. Really highly rated young manager who has achieved a lot already in what most would consider to be a natural stepping stone of a league up to ours. We can either take a good manager from beneath us or a failing manager from above us. Gio seems to be that perfect middle ground but if it's not him then someone like Knutsen is perfectly realistic jamess 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitre_mouldmaster 21,510 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Dyche I would take in a heartbeat to be honest. Miles ahead of anyone else on the list. GVB fills every criteria, but just have this nagging voice in my head saying it will be a fucking disaster, but I dont know why! Knudsen I dont trust. When cunts from these tiny teams start doing things like scudding Roma 6-0 it screams witchcraft to me. Its a fucking Progress Neidercorn result. Something that should not happen even if you stuck Pep and Jurgen in as a dream team. They will all of a sudden go from scudding Roma to getting knocked out convincingly by some team no one has heard of from Kazakhstan as soon as their magic wishes run out. Then you will never hear of the manager ever again. Master_Betty and Cracked Actor 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
