Poll: Who do you want most as our next manager?

[Ed Vanderlay]

So you abandoned your post half way through?

I respect your sense of quality control.

Bit early in the day to remove your head from Levy’s arse

 

[ArtyB]

Dunno who it is?

Good Ebening...

 

[Radical Rei]

Hope for the best, expect the worst.

 

[ElTel]

Agreed. I like what he has done. He definitely is a great candidate. Why I prefer Galtier is that his achievements came from nothing. Lille were bottom of the log when he took over. He basically made miracles.

Should we not consider Ranieri then?

 

[ValenciaYid]

Reported in Spain?

No idea to be honest

 

[Don Corleone]

Can I nominate my 6 week old baby boy for the job? He certainly would be a better fit than most these clowns our embarrassing chairman is approaching.

 

[Shotgunofmichalebrow]

I dont buy the so honourable he'd rather fall on his own sword thing at all.

Pretty sure he agitated SCBC to get the move to us. Its just how football deals are (often) done these days, and its just PR.

If he really wanted to come back to us he could have spun a sob story about missing his family, PSG could have graciously obliged to do a deal (and taken us to the cleaners-then gone for
Conte) and we could have had Poch all set up back in his office already.

If the story is to be taken at face value (if) then Poch really didnt want to come back that badly at all.

And if the story is not to be taken at face value, who even knows how serious interest was from either side?

Given that nothing actually happened, Id suggest not as much as people here might have wanted....

I never said or interpreted this as about honour. Football leaves little room for that. Its your word not mine .I said it was too unprofessional. You don walk out on PSG. He also never agitated for a move to Spurs Southampton fell out with his D.O.F and the man that brought him to them. So leaving them is justified in his feeling he had the deal broken by saints. You seem to be reading my analysis as a pro Poch screed, it is not its just what I think will happen. We will see.

Ten Hag back into joint favourite at 6/1 with Valverde.
Worryingly Martinez is now 3rd at 9/1, followed by Klinsmann at 10/1….

The recent favourite of Fonseca is now out at 25/1…on the outside rail making the running is my bet (50/1) Low coming up the field at 30/1 but obviously no real media talk about him still….
My pick of Steven Gerrard is at 40/1 with no movement really since the start, so looks like the jockey is pulling him up…..

Bottom line is we have absolutely no fucking clue what the fuck this club is doing….I don’t even think the club actually knows what it’s doing right now…

Perhaps, but you should have left the forum months ago. Fraud.

 

[CerealMaterial]

So we've been through the Italian league and now we're starting a search in Spain.

it reminds me if doing a player search on my FIFA game.

Levy should adopt my model, set max price at 15k and buy the first one that comes up

 

[COckneY Spurs]

Nope….

 

[Spursindevon]

Stephen Kenny has still not been added to the list despite my recommendation weeks ago, has done a fine job with Ireland beating the mighty Andorra

 

[zahi]

If Levy can get Ten Hag, fine. If not, take Potter or Howe. If it works out fine next season, good and we keep the manager (I'd say it is at least a 50:50 shot). If it doesn't work, get back Poch, who is a free agent next season.

 

[Nabil Bentaleb]

I would be extremely satisfied if valverde was the manager. He’s not Klopp or guardiola but he’s very competent and would at least hit the minimal targets.

 

[Bill Madrid]

Press conferences after games against English sides he has needed an interpreter. Can't find him offering even one word in English which is strange because even those who struggle with the language try a little bit but with this guy there is nada.

Do you know anything from out there in Spain?

No, nothing. The only press conferences I've seen, either on Spanish TV at the time or on YouTube, he's being asked questions in Spanish and logically enough replies in the same.

I do know he's long said he would like to work in England, once joking with an Aussie that he wouldn't mind trying his luck down under. You would have thought he'll have learnt some if that is his "dream"

 

[Bill Madrid]

These people are paid for their football opinions.

He's a Spurs fan tho, if that counts for anything (other than obviously having the same bad judgement we all share here). He used to be on the Rule the Roost podcast with TehTrunk and Raj Baines
