[Machiavelli]

What were the words?

Cai -- ce -- do
A-ha
He came from Ecuador
A-ha
To win the Ballon D'or
A-ha
His name is Moises Caicedo

So, it could be:

Huer -- ze -- ler
A-ha
He came from St Pauli (or Florida)
A-ha
To win the Premier League (or something else)
A-ha
His name is Fabian Heurzeler

I look forward to discovering which shit song he ends up getting, safe in the knowledge it will probably involve seven nation army yet again

 

[GT49er]

After 2700 posts on this thread - and it feels like 2000 of those are prospective lyrics for a Hurzeler song - I just hope that if and when he actually gets a song, WE WHISTLE IT!

SkyBet not paying me my winnings!

What do they need to pay out?

Skybet terms,


Caretaker and interim managers will not count unless they complete at least 10 competitive games for club managers and 4 games for international managers and they will then be deemed the permanent manager.

Nice

The fans said that they would not accept anything less than Europe first season if Potter was in charge, so I presume they have the same expectations now Hürzler is in charge

 

[Napper]

Success for me would be 13th or higher and some decent exciting football

And a cup run would be nice.

But he's not a caretaker or interim manager? He's signed a three year contract?! Unless I'm missing your point.

At least this is realistic, accepting that regression is bound to happen.

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Think it hard to define success until we've seen what squad he ends up presented with.

13th with the current crop would be successful, I agree.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

To the tune of MACARENA by LOS DEL RIO.

Dale a tu cuerpo alegría Fab Hüerzeler
Que tu cuerpo es pa' darle alegría y cosa buena
Dale a tu cuerpo alegría, Fab Hüerzeler
Hey Fab Hüerzeler, ay

What do I win?

Still waiting….

Potentially they're waiting for confirmation of his work permit (however much of a formality it is)?

I could accept 13th but would certainly not be satisfied with that final position, nor would I consider it a success.

We seem to undermining the great talent at our disposal currently. We should be aiming high as we have the potential to do so. Plus, we don’t have Europe this time around.

Which fans?

 

[Quebec Seagull]

Speaking as Project manager, it bothers me when age is used as a measure of ability, rather than what has been done and what can be done. You cannot grow unless you take risks. The art for the club is managing the risk as a they step up a level.

Well, I did say that prodigies are exempt. Although in my career, I've only worked with 2 young people with the abilities of much older colleagues, and their talents were quickly recognised and rewarded by their superiors. Of course, the bar for prodigiousness is factually much lower in sports than for most real-world professions.

[Krafty]

Which fans?

I recall those on the Potter thread stating that anything less than Europe in his (hypothetical) first season back at Brighton would be a failure. It will be interesting if they carry the same expectations with Hürzeler or were, more likely, saying that as they had grudges against Potter.

The individuals Im thinking off aren’t prodigy’s, just very competent. The support structure is the bit that makes the difference, but let’s not bore everyone else shitless.
