So who do we want/expect/hope?

Fans know fuck all. And if hes a Portugeuse, hes either Porto (and Jilted) or not Porto (and bitter).
Every single fucking expert in the world of football was all over Boas before he left porto. Chelsea paid 14m to sign a manager because they believed so much in him.
Writing him off after 6 months at Chelsea is ridiculous given they have sacked Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, Philipe Scolari and are in all probability going to sack A manager who has just won the champs with boas team.
I'll stick with the opinion based upon what he has done rather than some poorly written shite from a jilted fan.

Ignoring the difference in that team's performance before and after him is what's really ridiculous. He knew the job he was taking and he failed miserably at it.

And he's Villas Boas BTW. Calling him "Boas" is a bit like calling you "Herr Red".
 
It's also written by a Portuguese, who almost certainly knows a sod of a lot more about what he's talking about than most of the hacks who've ventured a "bombastic opinion" from outside the country altogether.
So youd respect Modos opinion over that of Gabriel Marcotti would you?
Dont be ridiculous JJ.
Fans know fuck all generally. Its all emotion and conjecture.
 
I like Lambert too. We'd need a sexy GM who can wow transfer targets, but Lambert does seem to be a quality manager.

Specifically on football in his own country, which is the point as you well know, I suspect Modo (loon though he may be) actually does know more than Marcotti.

Incidentally, if your closing sentence is true, it applies equally to you, doesn't it?
 
In all fairness, Rafa totally overhauled our youth system because there was no youth to bring through so I'm not sure that's quite correct.
Rafa brought in his own youth squad to get in the way of the youths already there as part of his campaign against Parry.

A number of those players developed despite him

Ok. If you want to go down that road, when he was sacked Chelsea were in 5th 3pts behind Arsenal. Thry finished 6th 6points behind arsenal.
Is it not possible theyre just not a very good team? And that sacking Ancelotti was pointless as was sacking VILLAS-boas as results net are about the same?

Of course it does. I wouldnt entrust me to pick the right guy.
But then my guy isnt even in the running.
I would still not take a rant from a fan as a reason to NOT hire someone. Look at the shite written on here about Kenny in the last few weeks. Doesnt change my opinion of him. Fans know fuck all.

do you actually what the reserves ross? for a very long time they were fucking shite, truly fucking rubbish. I remember people moaning at gh for not bringing kids through and I was thinking who the fuck he is going to bring through? rafa has totally rebuilt the youth anyone who thinks the youth is now a bit good DESPITE rafa is truly mad.

I'm not taking it as a reason not to hire him. All I meant is my heads up my arse as to who would be the right man and I'm wavering all over the place depending what i read next. God help the owners.
 
Back to Lambert, the relative silence about him (and from him) suggests he might be a bona fide target all along.

I know this Sunny, really I do, but it was the irony of it all. He wasn't one to take a gamble on the kids, but maybe it's as you say he assessed the quality was not there.
 
I'm out on my phone but my mates aren't dickheads and they were proved right by what happened at Chelsea
Im not suggesting they are dickheads mate, theyre just football fans. Sometimes mangers arent a good fit.
Maybe they are right and he is a blag manager but i think its harsh to write his career off based on 5 months when the 2 years prior to that were very spectacular. Maybe theyre right about Benfica and Sporing too, but he won the Waafa cup too.
Im unconvinced hes an unconvincing option as manager.
 
going back to the reserves. we've released a sea of kids in the past decade and who has gone on to do anything of note that didn't feature in our first team at some point?
 
on TLW he hasn't changed one. ripping into posters like there is no tomorrow and the object his hatred is now henderson. bren has obviously matured and moved past lucas.
