Saw discussion about Jol recently, thought might be worth its own topic
How do you rate ENIC's managerial appointments to date?
Well, bearing in mind Poch is the indisputable no.1 I'd go as follows
2. Redknapp - as much as he had his personality traits he came in at a turbulent time, steadied the ship and had us play some great football on the eye. If anything, I believe he exceeded Levy's expectations as a temporary stop-gap to the rot
3. Jol - 2x 5th place finishes with a largely mediocre squad compared to the Top 4 at the time, including some great attacking play is worth noting - was treated disgracefully by the club in the end.
4. AVB - great ideas - poor implementation. I believe the transfer market dealings with Baldini didn't help either following the Bale fiasco - I still feel he was destroyed by the cunt-media and simply cracked mentally (as early as his Chelsea days). I also think he'll go on to have a successful managerial career and was professional to the end.
5. Ramos - Won a trophy and had some good tactical intentions, including modern training methods, nutrition, etc. Sad it never worked out for him but he lost our 2 best strikers in a period of few weeks and season went to shit soon after. In fact - we stopped playing after the final win, imv. The language barrier didn't help either. Good guy - always spoke well about us after.
6. Santini - no comment really - dark days of transition
Not classified - Weasel - fuck off
