If Kit goes....

[BigbadBillyMcKinley]

Would I be alone in thinking Jean Tigana coming back would be a major coup for the board?!
The best football was played under him and he wasn't afraid of the youth.
We need a player in the Pocettino or Ranieri mould. Someone who builds from the bottom up and not the other way round.

I'd take tigana in a heart beat.

On the one hand yes on the other no. I agree it was one of our best ever periods from both a playing style and a success perspective but what has he done since? Not a lot, Besiktas did ok but it has been rapidly downhill for several years now.

[Wimbledon_White]

Tigana hasn't managed since 2012.

His last job in England was with Fulham and he's not succeeded anywhere else to any significant level.

To put it in context; his last job was for Shanghai Shenwua in the Chinese League.

I would suggest that if he hadn't been our manager before he would be on no-ones radar whatsoever.

[Wimbledon_White]

Oh, forgot to mention, Shanghai sacked him too.

[MJG]

Hardly a coup, more of a let's employ this man as fans have a long memory and this might keep them happy.


I was all for him last year as a DOF  with Kit below him. But as an out and out manager,  I think those days are behind him.

Also didnt Mr Tigana have quite a few quid for transfers......i feel if Kit does go, we need a Ian Holloway (not necessarily him) sort of character......someone that can work on a tight budget and get the best out of whats in front of him....a bit like Pearson

[BigbadBillyMcKinley]

Lawrie Sanchez had a fair amount of money also........

My point is, we need someone like him. Plays one touch football but gets results with it. Maybe take a risk on a younger manager who's managed a first team somewhere else before (kit hadn't properly).
Someone who can blood our youngsters but who can buy some  quality also.

Having said all that; anyone new, needs to be given patience and time. Especially by people on this board.

Look you know it's going to be Curbishley. So don't get excited

Someone on Twitter is saying Redknapp's henchman Joe Jordan was at The Cottage yesterday.

God forbid that criminal ends up in our dug out.

He has been there for weeks. I think he is involved with the Scotland set up so maybe checking out McCormack, Cairney etc

Tigana!! No thanks very much!!!!!!

Made some wonderful signings, but also wasted large sums on the likes of Jon Harley.  Got us promoted, which he should have done with that team, but was a mini-disaster in the Perm with the slow build-up enabling teams to drop back and defend as we took so long to get to the halfway line.  Nearly got us relegated first season back in the top flight, despite spending vast amounts of money.

and he bought Steve Marlet

So are you saying Tigana wouldnt be a major coup

Ah yeah that makes sense, thanks I didn't realise that.

2+2=5 from Twitter as ever.

The nostalgia factor appeals, but realistically I can only see him doing a Dalglish and not being able to live up to the hype.

[faversham paul]

Kit has now gone, get Pearson in now. repeat he has been sacked

[Arthur]

In the PL, yes, but he won the Championship - adding Saha, Fernandes, Collins and Boa Morte - having spent little at all.

I would love to see us play the sort of football again that we played under Tigana in 2000; it truly was phenomenal. Whether he could replicate that style were he to return is by no means certain, so I understand supporters' caution. On the other hand, there is only one way to find out...

If not Tigana, what we could do with finding, perhaps, is a manager who can be as innovative for us now as JT was then. I was interested to hear that Huddersfield are replacing Chris Powell with someone who has been coaching at Borussia Dortmund (presumably under the ethos of Jurgen Klopp). Though an unknown quantity in England, he is the sort of imaginative appointment that I would be happy us for us to make.
