Sven, Houllier, Co or Ranieri

Lois knows Liverpool, that's it. If it's Liverpool it's great, if it's not Liverpool he's either ignorant to it or it's $h!t.

Mmh, actually I wouldn't think so.

Eriksson club teams have always been quite exciting to watch.
Lazio, Sampdoria, Benfica, Roma, Fiorentina... they all were attacking teams with good tempo and passing.

Coaching national teams is just another story, you can't really judge the style of a manager by that, especially of those that like to build deeply organized teams.

Think about Sacchi's Milan (brilliant, free flowing, seamless attacking beauty) and Sacchi's Italy (an hysteric unproductive pressing mess that went to the final only thanks to Baggio's one man show).

And his BIZARRE player rotations!!!

You might want to add Didier Deschamps to the potential candidates list now!

Juande Ramos is now being linked by some papers !

Best candidate out there IMO

Co would make you a unit, with good offensive/defensive coordination.

He seems to run clubs like a military unit though, so players might not take to him.

Futhermore, his evaluation of players' talent and potential is lacking IMO based on his time at Porto.

Any of them four is a big step up from your last manager. I'd sign Sven right away. Citeh to Europe with Sven immediately. Remember, getting that 5th place in the EPL is relatively EASY. Cracking the top 4 is a whole different ballgame. Get Sven!

Sven must be getting desperate for a job if he's interested in Man Shitty.

Perhaps his last cheque from the FA is around the corner?

f@ck off we have great potential, with a decent base for a team to be built, the best academy in the country, awsome stadium and a great fan base. Plus whoever takes over will be backed a a billionaire.

I don't know what's Murray's problem with Citeh. Your team is only a good coach, and three or four quality players from getting that coveted 5th spot, and the UEFA Cup ticket. Who's the owner of Citeh?

It should be Thaksin Shinawatra, the deal is expected to go through in the next week or two. He is buying us for £120m and will give the manager £50m to spend straight away.

I don't have a problem with City, but it's completely unrealistic to expect them to finish 5th, Puro. They have been $h!t for decades and need a whole new team, not just 3 or 4 players.

£50m!

f@ck Sven! I'll take Citeh to the promised land with that cash support.

I have to agree with Murray.

City are a hell of a long way from being a team that could finsih 5th

I disagree... Citeh have a plenty of good players to form a good basis of a team. Pierce never could get the best of them IMO.

THey do need a coupe of players, but the base is already there - IN essence Citeh have a left table team, and once you're on the left side nearly anything can happen.

Iwoudn't guarentee that citeh can break top 5 in their first year, but top7-8 should be do-able. Perhaps even comfortably so.

And at the end of the season, little discerns 5-7th placed teams from each other.

You look at Spurs and they have spent £80m over 3 years if we have similar amount of money to spend over that time then who says we cant become a top team.

Isaksson, Richards, Dunne & Ireland. Maybe Samaras if he can adapt better.

They are the only players that would get in a team pushing for a UEFA spot in my opinion.

Good post mate, thats what im thinking.

If you do it over the same amount of time its possible. It won't happen in one season though.

Problem is Newcastle, Spurs, Portsmouth, Villa, and you guys are all going to spend a whole lot of money (plus there are existing good teams for Everton and Blackburn) , and there's only one 5th place.

Who?

Distin has left them.

Isaksson is quality, Richards (if played CB) is good but aside from that there isn't a single player from the Citeh team that would make it into the Spurs squad,

Yes mate i agree, i cant see us pushing for 4/5th next seaosn but i think we can be in that position in the next few years, especially if we get Sven.

Ireland on the left hand side.

I'd take Chimbonda over Richards btw.

and Beasly, Mpenza, Trabelsi.

Pearce never got the best out of Beasly, Samaras and Trabelsi in particular. All good players and underrated in England.
Beasley is quite good really.

All of the above are UEFA cup material players.

So would I at right back, though you could argue with King being constantly injured that Richards would get in at centre back.

Chimbonda is so much a better right back than Richards that its not even worth comparing.

btw, I'd still take Malbranque over Ireland - I know you worship the guy buy Malbranque is pure quality IMO

Trabelsi has been freed.

Ireland to Spurs ? He isnt for sale and has just signed a new 3yr deal. Ireland has a big future at City with Richards, Onuoha, Sturridge, Johnson and the Academy boys that are sure to come through.
