Steve Nicol

[Best Believe It]

Wouldya take a gamble?

[razor]

Wouldya take a gamble?

 

Good grief.

 

I mean, no.

[Bogman]

see that's what I dread.

 

getting rid of rafa, absolutely no idea who they'd bring into replace him.

 

it will be the wrong guy.

 

oh, and no to stevie, need a high level manager next, not someone without any experience of top flight footie management.

 

for that reason, i'm out.

[RedKnight]

Hahaha no.

[fin-bat]

My choice: Barnes

[Trumo]

Very defensive minded coach, more so than Rafa. A great and very underrated player in his day mind.

Doubt he'd have the pace these days

Id still fancy him to leave Insua for dead in a head to head sprint

[Fowlers God]

King Kenny is the only way forward!

[The 5th Benitel]

Wasn't he known for being thick as fuck. I'm sure there are loads of stories about him in player's autobiographies. Like an older and much more talented McAteer.

[WaltonRed]

No ta.

I wouldn't be so quick to talk down Stevie. He is doing a stunning job in the US. I'm not saying we shoudl give him teh job, but he is not by any means someone to just be disregarded.

Knows the club, knows Kenny, knows the fans and the ethos of the club.

 

I don't know his managerial achievements in more depth than wikipedia can provide but he's not a cunt and would probably be the nearest thing we can have to a feasible bootroom appointment. Unless Sammy Lee would be in the frame.

[JohnnyH]

Wasn't he manager of the year there for a few years running recently by taking an unfancied club to the MLS finals or something like that? They think of him very highly I believe.

 

I'm not majorly up on him, and maybe some American reds could give a better reference, but, given where we will be shopping for managers (in that I assume it's the same stall where we get to shop for players) he could be the best option we can afford. Who knows?

[Guest Pistonbroke]

My choice: Barnes

 

Is that a joke ?

[Red Phoenix]

Legendary player, no clue what he's like as a manager though, although I hope he does really well at what he's doing.

He's definitely in the upper echelon out here. They consider him a footballing genius which is quite ironic when you consider how Kenny talks about him.

 

The gulf between the MLS and the premier league though is massive.

And that is of course the biggest barrier to him. I'd love to see him come across here and try his luck with a lower Premier League team*, or top end Championship set up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

* I've set up the gag there if anyone wants it.....

[Red Mist]

I'd give it to Aldo. He has managerial experience and is a die-hard Red. And it would be a good way to get him off the radio.

[Bjornebye]

Up there in the "boss ex-players who have become utter tossers" camp

 

 

 

 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

It's grim listening to him. Every time I catch him on a stream I have to mute it as it's tough seeing a great ex-player descend into the drunk bloke in the pub talking bollocks. 

 

Pretty much auditioning for talksport at this stage.

[Carvalho Diablo]

In fairness, Nico was always renown for his utter fucking dim-wittedness, but he remains the greatest full back I've ever seen and he'd still walk into any all time 11.

[easytoslip]

Good footballer, good grief.

[Grinch]

That's American tv for you in a nutshell. 

[Funkasy]

I like listening to him. Seems very honest with everything he says.
