Which manager do you try and model yourself on?

Hey,

Just wondering what real life manager you model yourself on in-game?

I'm kind of a Ferguson myself. I try to achieve success with one team, buy lots of youngsters and build new teams when the old players start to age/get sold.

So who do you see yourself as?

Benitez?

Ferguson?

Scolari?

Wenger?

or perhaps a lower league manager?

Dario Gradi.

Harry Redknapp

Barry Fry......

Sir Alex Ferguson.

Roy Hodgson...

Christian Gross and Les Reed.

Billy McEwan...

None, I just manage the team how I like to and do things my own way.

I'd say a mix of Benitez (for the rotation) and Capello (for being conservative).

I also bring my own characteristics to the table ofcourse. I'm not a fan of breeding youngsters, although if a unique one comes across my sight, I will give it a thought.

I've got the Mullet of management personalities: Mourinho in the front, and Ferguson in the back

Fun to be Mourinho in the media, fantastic to inspire loyalty and a must win attitude where it counts.

Probanly Dario Gradi - sign up youngsters released by big clubs and sell them on after a few years.

Paul Jewell, Why he's a p*rnstar of course!

Sir Bobby Robson

I am my own manager.

None because I like to be unique

I'm kind of like Wenger in the fact that I always look for 16, 17 and 18 year old to take......but at the same time, I just got the job at Chelsea and spent 69 million lbs BEFORE the summer transfer window (i was hired with 3 games to go). Grant was there before me and we are going to be the most expensive Euro Cup team EVER!!!!

All out jose mourinho or carlos querioz!

Arsene Wenger. I try to play attractive football with a young side.

Probably Rafa because i always seem to find myself rotating all the time.

Gordon Strachan!! Love the wee man. Although his tactics & signings are questionable i am as motivated as him when i am managing a club lol.

Steve Coppell The conservative approach.

Mark Stimson

wenger. and it worked...

stubborn in the transfer market but will allow important players to leave, rely on youth development, buy only players of the same nationality, can't take losing, can't win a european trophy.

sort of a cross between everyone. I like to build a strong defence and midfield before consearning everywhere else and this is where all my experiance is.

After that i look for a flair player who is as gfood as if not better tghan the players i have and build a flair team.

Slaven Billic - Mainly because I like to be a young and fresh manager experimenting with good youngsters. I love playing that attractive football especially with either countries or clubs that are not as good

Wengerball

Kevin Keegan - Seriously.

By this I don't mean by having a managing director signing all of my ****ing players behind my back, I mean high-scoring attacking football and the philosophy that I will concede loads but as long as I score more than the other team I'll be alright, plenty of 4-3 and 5-4 wins are in the mix but for the most part when I win I hammer the opposition, but when I lose I'll generally get stuffed.

It's the way I've always played CM and FM.

A cross between Arsene Wenger and Dario Gradi

I am like a mix of Claudio Ranieri and Alan Curbishly...I am a tinker man who likes to sign more experienced players and let my clubs acedemy produce players but the experienced players I sign are normally injured a lot.

wenger. and it worked...

stubborn in the transfer market but will allow important players to leave, rely on youth development, buy only players of the same nationality, can't take losing, can't win a european trophy.

This is me also, except that i spend a lot.

However, I also can't take losing, and i can't win a european trophy for nuts!

Myself

I like to base my self around Doncaster's Sean O'Driscoll, i like to keep calm and collected and play a nice one touch passing game.

well atm (actually i think ive broke the game lo) im sort of like paul jewell cant win a single game always concides goals all the players i buy are a load of rubbish and struggling even against lower league opperstion in the cup!, 3-0 down to sherwsbury in the league cup inside 10minutes with QPR :-(

myself...........

Avram Grant:D:o

I try to take the same approach as Wenger. I look for bargain buys, definitely always looking for youngsters with bright futures. I focus hard on strengthening the club's finances...at the moment I'm managing PSG and my goal is to leave them a title contender but at the same time with a healthy bank balance, no debt.

I found myself in a real Wenger moment the other day. I was entering the last year of my contract with PSG and thanks to my good work with the finances in the years before, I was granted a nice transfer kitty of 12m. My unltimate goal from the board was to be a title contender by the end of the three year plan so I figured, "I've got the money, I need to go all out to get me where I need to be." Well sure enough I made one big signing in a much needed area, but there was still one more position I felt like I needed to strengthen so as I was about to throw down 10m on a very good wing-back (28 years old), I thought to myself, "If I sign this guy then he's going to take playing time away from this kid that is already decent, but he looks to be on the verge of becoming a good player." Well, I'm more than half-way through the season and I'm in 3rd fighting for the title, the kid has become a good player, I saved 10m and things are looking good.

The Wenger in me paid off.

Mike Bassett

Then I must be Doddsy!

Mark Robins- a legend

Steve Mclaren, it is my goal in life to be as terrible manager as him lol

Half Steve Coppell, half Arsene Wenger. I don't spend huge amounts, I never slag off managers and rarely slag off the ref. I like bringing through youth- which I generally buy aged 17-19.

Roy Keane! No nonsense manager!

Pat Fenlon

Im Arsene Benitez. I only buy young players, and I keep 2 players for each position with massive rotation.

Wenger. Play fast and short and develop younger players

Brian Clough. I am almost effortlessly brilliant and play the game wih a bottle of whisky beside my chair.

I like Wenger's policy of developing a team to last for a very long time, but I try to emulate Ferguson's on-the-field direct play.

I've also taken on Ferguson's ignoring the media policy.

Dr josef venglos, im a failure

I model myself on me because I'm the best. There's no other manager on the planet as good as me!
