The more I hear about Amorim the more I like the idea. He wanted to take the United job in the summer so he could plan and get his players in but was told it's now or never and joined in November. Before this his Sporting side was playing really good attacking football.

He plays a system that I think could work with our players and a few signing.

I'm hoping it's someone like him who has something to prove and a fight to show others they are wrong about his time at a big club than someone like McKenna. 9 home loses in a row and Ipswich having picked up THEIR LOWEST EVER points total in the top flight. McKenna's 10.5% win rate is among the LOWEST RECORDED BY ANY MANAGER in Premier League history and Parker has been in that league!

I have to admit I have reservations about him being a manager in premier league! He made more problems for himself at Utd than he ever should with that rigid system. His lack of flexibility was damning I thought considering how easy Carrick turned it around there. I look at him as talking a good game as opposed to delivering on the pitch. How a so called football manager can't see Mainoo is a very talented player and yet flooded the midfield with defenders?
Safe to say personally I think same would happen to him at Fulham and we would all be concerned come late September.

Totally agree, the more I hear about Amorim the less I like the idea. Had pundits and Man Utd fans alike scratching their heads with his stubbornness and line ups and bland football. As you say Carrick turned it around immediately by playing the right players in the right formation

I did mention him once in another thread (as did another poster) - but how about Vincenzo Montella? Like Poch won't be available until after the World Cup. But, he does tick at least a couple of boxes (Fulham connection, similar style of play to Silva). This from Gemini:


Coaching Philosophy & Style

Attacking Play: As a former prolific striker, Montella favors a possession-based, attacking style of play.

Tactical Adaptability: While his default is 4-2-3-1, he often tweaks his approach to exploit opponent weaknesses, using inverted wingers and overlapping full-backs.

Man Management: He is praised for his ability to unify diverse squads and get the best out of creative, technical playmakers.



He also mentioned (in an interview from 2015) that he would like to manage in the Premier League and mentions us in a very positive way:

Montella, 40, was an accomplished forward who won a league title with Roma in 2001 and also played for Italy at Euro 2000 and the 2002 World Cup. Yet he also has fond memories of his loan spell at Fulham, in the second half of the 2006-07 season, and aspires to work again in the Premier League — this time as a coach.

"One day, I would like to," Montella told Standard Sport. "I know very well that it is a journey but I'm learning English and after that, who knows? I'm doing better with English. I wouldn't say I was at a very high level but my tutor says I could speak it and I try to have a lesson most weeks.

"So I hope so, because I like English football very much. I'm inspired by the work of coaches like Carlo Ancelotti and Roberto Mancini, who did very well indeed at Chelsea and Manchester City respectively.

"They brought an Italian type of mentality, which is not to be underestimated, to two important clubs, two important cities. At Manchester City, they had not won a major trophy for years but Mancini managed to do so.

"Both showed they were great managers during their time in England and what they did was a great advert for Italian coaches. In my opinion, the coach education in Italy is the best, certainly at a tactical level.

"My time at Fulham was a wonderful experience and I would have liked to have stayed in England for longer but perhaps at that stage of my career I wasn't in a position to handle such a quick, physical game."

Before Utd his managerial stats were very impressive. Maybe he will suit us better.

Journo on TalkSport has us linked with Dyche. Apparently they've opened negotiations with his representatives.

That would be plain stupid and completely lazy on Fulham's part.

If so, they'll be a very negative response from all fans.

Dyche works well with teams who like the long ball hoof it forward style.

We don't have anywhere near that type of team for that style!

If we have to play Dycheball then we'd have to buy Mitro or maybe Delap

I think it's more likely that Talksport are absolutely full of it.

Super Mick

Nobody has a clue who Shad's talking to. Pure speculation.

FFC007

Van Persie has just been given the heave ho at Feyenoord..

Second place in his first season yet he's been given the boot.

Remarkable.


Coastwalker

One firm now has McKenna odds on at 1/2..Lampard 9/2.
The rest any price.

The Dyche connection is rubbish I believe.

I watched them v Pec Zwolle at The Kuip in December, they won 6-1 played well but after that they didn't win for a while and ended up 18/19 points behind PSV. They even bought in Dick Advocaat to help for the last 6 weeks or so, whilst his job was to get CL football, there was a lot of unhappiness about the way they fell away.

He would be a shoe in here if they fell away like that

Im not over the moon about McKenna but lets be fair to him at least. His Ipswich side was basically a League One with a lot of young player signings all signed in the same summer window. So I dont think it does him any real justice putting it like that.

His work with the club as a whole has been impressive, no two ways about it. If he is the right man for us is a different matter

I wonder if Marco has Recommended him to the Fulham hierarchy
