Would he come back? Who knows, after leaving us and Blackpool he popped up at Standard Liege. Would it make a difference? Probably not, he'd still be a puppet with an underfunded squad.

That's it, RD will send him back here now.0

Sixth in the league and sacked. I would take him in a flash14
-
yikes, I spy a popular thread brewing6

*Googles to see if the Metz were some barbarian tribe in Roman times who marauded present-day Latvia*7

1 step forward 5 steps back.6
-
Id have Les Reed now......anyone, except the Man at C&A that is currently in charge.5
-
Help us Jose, you're our only hope.12
-
Well, this will be interesting.5
-
Bring him back. No brainer. But not with Fraeye as his assistant. Fraeye needs to go full stop.
The manager has become almost secondary now though - this squad needs quality and quantity asap.8 -

See KM hasn't lied Karel is only interim until Riga came back :-))13

Good points:
He knows the club
He's got experience of the league, specifically of a relegation fight
Fans will warm to him easily
He's better than KF
Bad points:
It shows stagnation rather than progress
As he's known to the owner there probably wouldn't be a change in strategy to suit the new manager
KF would probably be around still in some aspect as AM or picking players to buy as they were a team before
Given the lack of feasible alternatives I'd have him back.6 -
Depressing if he comes back. Would prove our club are incapable of recruiting outside of the poxy network.20
-
Isn't Bulot at Metz?!0
-
We want Riga back, say we want Riga back.3
-
Why would he return when it was Fraeye who masterminded our previous escape from relegation?21
-
Wow, what a turn up. I wouldn't be surprised to see him come back, though I've said many times that I suspect when given more of a run of games in charge, he wouldn't fare much better than the rest. One thing is for sure, a lot of the fans would get behind him from the outset, which might help lift the players so we can at least get us out of this sticky patch that we find ourselves in. Obviously, a new manager is only part of our issue, we still need some players of Championship quality.

He won less than half his games for us. Did well to keep us up and probably a nice bloke but not the man to take this club forward. Cannot believe people are getting excited by this.24

Nothing to prove there. We've known that since day one with them.RodneyCharltonTrotta said:Depressing if he comes back. Would prove our club are incapable of recruiting outside of the poxy network.

Sacked for "a deterioration in the last three months" while sixths in Ligue 2 (http://www.fcmetz.com/2015-2016/actualites/equipe-pro/jose-riga-nest-plus-lentraineur-des-grenats). Blimey.
Another twist in the soap opera...2 -
Why have Metz sacked him anyway? I thought he was doing well there?
Edit: Thanks @InspectorSands, didn't see that before I posted ^^1 -
Results have gone bad in the last month, they were leading Ligue 2 a month ago! Funny how short term football can be.WestCountryAddick said:Why have Metz sacked him anyway? I thought he was doing well there?

Taking him back, with or without Fraeye as assistant, would be a huge admission that they got it wrong not appointing him either when Peeters came or when Luzon joined.
But I'm not sure Roland does embarrassed.
Would Riga want it knowing tha tRoland and Fraeye will interfere?
Just when we thought we could have a few days off from Charlton over Christmas
: - )4 -
I'd like him back0

Incapable or unwilling?RodneyCharltonTrotta said:Depressing if he comes back. Would prove our club are incapable of recruiting outside of the poxy network.
Seems a no brainer move for the board - RD knows him and (presumably) likes him and it would be the only managerial appointment from 'inside the network' that would at least somewhat appease the fans.
I'd have him back, but personally I'd rather it was under a different owner.
Of course the fact it is the obvious thing to do means we almost certainly will not be appointing him to replace KF.

Duchatelet strikes me as a very stubborn and ideologically driven man. His ideology being that he can achieve success through youth and clever scouting. This obsession with youth also applies to CEOs and managers considering all of our managers (barring Riga) have been under 40 when they joined. I can't see him budging from his beliefs.Henry Irving said:Taking him back, with or without Fraeye as assistant, would be a huge admission that they got it wrong not appointing him either when Peeters came or when Luzon joined.

I think if Riga did join it would be on a short term deal again whilst they searched for another young manager with potential or to give Fraeye more experience until he can take over on his own.
Considering "every sacking has proven to be a correct decision" it would indeed be an interesting move.3 -
Yes please. Not only would we get back a popular manager who was well liked at the club, we'd also get back a prolific left midfielder.2
-
I don't know about this wouldn't be so sure he could turn it round. I don't think he could but strangely even saying that, that's not a reflection of himself I just can't see him bringing something extra to the table that's going to essentially inspire everyone at this point.
Carol will most likely get us relegated if I'm being positive we finish 22nd, at least not bottom.1
