he'll be another santini.

Would that be all that bad? The guy had never managed a premier league side before, hardly spoke any English.

13 games in and he`s gone?? Fuck me everyman and his dog have been calling for Jol to be given more time, Santini got 13 games?. How can anyone decide after that amount of games whether he`s any cop?

Don`t go on about how boring we were under his "huge spell in charge" The guy was trying to put points on the board early on, while also trying to lay some foundations at the sametime. I for one aren`t convinced he couldn`t have developed things further. It`s horses for course and he may have done more given a chance.

apparently has only failed at Barca and Espanyol, so that seems like the record of an ambitious coach, whose teams have got progressively bigger (except after the two failures)

How about this for the real CV:

Selected extracts from Sid Lowe the Guardian's Madrid-based Spanish football expert, writing last January in World Soccer magazine (before they'd retained the UEFA Cup etc).

[Source: World Soccer magazine]
"The fact that they are now in the running for a second Spanish Championship and have just won two pieces of silverware is not bad at all considering they lost Julio Baptista and Sergio Ramos to Real Madrid in the summer: the former their best player who had scored 50 goals in two seasons; the latter the youth team standard bearer. Consider also that that summer they lost coach Joaquin Caparros to Deportivo and that the budget for 2006 was £20m against Real Madrid's £232m, Barcelona's £162m and Valencia's £89m."

"...But in fact Sevilla soon showed they had made a leap of quality under the new man.

That should not have been a major surprise, since Ramos has a superb record. He made his name when steering Logrones into the top-flight in 1996, then took Rayo Vallecano into the first division and the 2000-01 UEFA Cup, when they reached the Quarter-Finals. He also proved a success at Malaga, his last posting before Sevilla. Only at Espanyol, where problems with the board meant Ramos lasted just five weeks, had he failed to be successful.

After Malaga, whom he left in 2004, he took a sabbatical, during which he travelled the world watching football. Now he is widely recognised as the best coach in Spain.

Ramos's training regime was so hard last summer that the players wore tape over their mouths as a silent protest. But no one is complaining now. "The coach has really driven home the need to win every game, to go out there and fight to the death," goalkeeper Palop says, "That attitude is vital."

...Sevilla are tough and uncompromising. Above all though they are fast. In fact, Sevilla play at breathtaking speed, swarming all over opponents, going all out for victory. The way they approached Middlesborough in the UEFA Cup Final was no one-off; it was a stamp of identity.

...Ramos and Monchi have consciously sought out players with both mental and physical speed, while the entire side have been given a boost by the efforts of Endocrinologist Dr Antonio Escribano. His methods have prompted the squad to lose unwanted weight..."

Great insight. Cheers for that. I actually feel quite positive about the idea now although the language barrier worries me, with or without Mr Poyet

he'll be another santini.

Apart from the resident gooner at work laughing in my ear all day (he came very close to a slap), this has been a worry.
In 2 years time when we`re kings of the universe please bring this back and taunt me with it. :)
