I would copy Mourinho

4-4-2

I'd be everyone's best mate.

Popular with all.

I manage a boys team. I'm no tactical genius but I know enough. I'm very much a man management type I suppose and like to give every player pretty much the same amount of game time over a season. My main grievance is kids messing around, though they're 10 year old kids, so will do at times.

I'd focus on building up my image off the pitch to try and get into the 'old boys club', probably go to some real ale taster nights with Warnock, Bruce and Big Sam etc and try and get in their circle of connections.

Then I'd get continuous job offers for life without any pressure to do well, take the sack of money when I'm fired and have a few months off before the next job starts.

Kevin Keegan - you score 3 we will score 4 is how I will play

my FM saves see me adopt a high tempo pressing game, players comfortable on the ball, attacking wingbacks in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Focusing on youth, everything upgraded in youth terms, scouting the best youth with fmcout. This is where i get most satisfaction from. Kinda strict, tell em how i see it, if they need to improve but also praise just as much so fair i guess.

Genie scout as its called i think. just spend hours trawling through looking at attributes n personalities

I won the euros with Serbia on FM, playing a direct, aggressive Wimbledon-style 442.

Obviously all to do with personnel... but I’ve always been fond of 3-5-2. I’d keep it simple. Follow the laws of SAF, and employ my BFT tactic. Blunt.Force.Trauma.
Attack attack attack, best form of defence.
I’d be very cliched in motivating, but with humour added, and hopefully the bond will come from that.

3-5-2, build from the back, gegenpress, high tempo, high block press. Particularly when at home.

3-5-2 compact half pitch when away from home.

Attack, attack and attack. If a shot on goal or assist is not an option, kick the ball hard into the opposing players face. πŸ‘

Well that’s just wrong, you could kill someone like that....

Watenaccio.

Defensive 5-4-1, extremely tough to beat, sit deep and defend the hit on the break. We will be renowned giant killers.

The elder statesman approach, usually calm with the ability to absolutely lose it. Suit wearer, step back from the coaching, the observer all modelled on the great Walter Smith.

Expect to see me in a European final with a guy that couldn't even cook an egg without getting third degree burns.

I'd play 4-4-2 with wingers.

No shouting or swearing, just let them know the truth, the ones who are playing well get the gig, and they stay there until they aren't or injured.
Different teams for the FA cup and different for the league cup.

No tactics, because I don't know any.
Tell them to have a good time, put a show of for the crowd;

Last words on the way out, "Do your best"

I play 3-2-3. Three CB's, two CM's, two wingers and a CF.
Keeper is a sweeper keeper, if he remembers to come off his line!

i'd probably copy moyes, when he had covid and worked from his couch.

in terms of style, this may surprise some of you, but i'd be a massive, massive c@nt.

I'd be close to the Thierry Henry style of manager. Belittle all your players for not being as good as football as me.

posted on 17/11/20

I wouldn’t have a style.

The style of no style, you have to adapt to each opponent, each game and each player.

I’d re-introduce the “whirl” and “switch” system for a time until we were found out. It was acquired from our top manager in the 60’s as I recall it. Midfielders changing position and designed to confuse the opposition (I’d have to study those who might be adept to this style). Short, probing passes involving wingers, wing-backs etc.

Well worth a try...for now.

I'd be like Bruce Lee and my style would be the art of playing without playing.
