Also, Guardiola was a defensive midfielder, he's done OK in management

Not to mention the manager of the England WC 1966 team, Sir Alf Ramsey, was a defender.

If we want to stereotype, one could say strikers players/managers are attack minded by strategically and defensively naive and simply concede too many goals.

Personally, I don't think it matters, a good manager is a good manager whatever their playing position was.

I personally think Guardiola has stiffled Bayern with his negative tactics, they used to be a joy to watch under Jupp H.

Doesn't have the correct coaching qualifications.
The real success behind him and that team was Lewandowski who took all the training sessions and had to appear at all the press conferences with him.
NO THANKS !!!!!

In other words, you have no idea what you're talking about so you're going to make a random assumption? Gotcha.

Another one you can guarantee will be negative. Ignores the fact that he had them second in the league at Christmas last season on his own and they were still fourth despite a poor run when he was sacked.

Do you ever get bored with being negative all the time?

I actually think they don't, if they were positive ever they might just explode.

Could do a job

It's an interesting one and I'm glad the club are taking their time. I wonder if a 'one year get out of the Championship' appointment is one of the options they are considering.

Good to have someone with an objective insiders view of the inner workings of Bayern Leverkusen.

No as long as it annoys people like you

I wouldn't worry, it doesn't annoy me. I just find it really odd.

I really don't think it annoys Finchley, but if you get your kicks from annoying people then hey that's your call.

It's called reality people some of you should try it every now and again and stop looking through your blue and white tinted specs.

Seeing as you have clearly demonstrated you do not know the first thing about Hyypia, it's not 'reality' it's blind negativity.

Only on here matey too many people who really think they know it all and know absolute nothing .

How about you telling us who you want, then we can pick holes in your choice.

And your expert and in depth analysis on him is ??
20/30 pages should do to start with

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Mark Lawrenson says Hyypia "didn't do a bad job in Germany as far as I could see."

Penetrating analysis there as usual.

Sorry so because I'm not moaning about a potential new manager before he's even appointed, I'm looking at it through blue and white tinted specs! Okay, so if you're happy to slate a manager who got his team through the group stages of the Champions League last season, I think the question is more who do you want? What manager could be appointed that would stop you moaning?

I'm not guaranteeing Hyypia would be a success (nobody is guaranteed to be a success) but I would give him a chance, which it seems unlikely you would do.

Funny how it's always the same people on here that get upset when someone else dares to have a different opinion from their elitist NSC band of know it alls !!
With their so called " sauces" makes me chuckle but you hate it just hate it when someone else outside your little gang dares to have an opinion different from yours. Ooooohhhhhhh better stop now ha ha !!!

I'm not saying I'm an expert, but lets analyze your post again.

Sacked by Bayern Leverkusen after less than a year in charge.Incorrect, he was there for just under 2 years
Doesn't have the correct coaching qualifications.Yes he does, he has now obtained all the necessary coaching badges
The real success behind him and that team was Lewandowski who took all the training sessions and had to appear at all the press conferences with him.Based on your other posts this is a complete guess, even if you've read up on this aspect it's purely an opinion. Leverkusen fans are still said to respect and like him it's just that the board wanted to act to try and maintain their Champions League spot after a poor run of form

Why did they sack him ?
