Sven only recently took a job, he isn't going to leave it for us.

Maybe not, but then i'm pretty sure Guthrie was Keegans signing aswell.

Exactly. Do they all employ DOF with zero experience of the job or standing in the game too? Alot of them yes. Aulas at Lyon buys all the players, as does Moratti at Inter, same with the chap at Juve. I think the owners buy the players at Galatasary and Fenerbahce aswell. Atleast Wise actually has a background in football, that's more than alot of these guys.

The DOF system really isn't that shocking to people outside Britain. As far as i know most clubs in France, Germany, Turkey, and Italy use it.

Just because a manager has clashed with DOF's in other countries, it doesn't mean he is against the system and it doesn't mean he won't think it can work with our lot. You can't just rule managers out for clashing with a board.

Don't the owners buy all the players in Turkey? Zico nudge nudge.

If we have a new manager i'd rather people just welcomed him and got behind the team. We've had enough drama. I know this won't happen though.

Ditto. I've been quite impressed by who they've brought in this summer, they just didn't bring in enough of them in the end.

This would be a total disaster.

Managers that have jobs won't leave in september, so for me it seems Deschamps and Zico are the only attractive options.

He'd be a fool to reappoint Keegan after all this.

Quite right. I think i would want a fresh start, too much has gone on with Keegan recently.

I think it is a bit hysterical. My fear is that this is going to be hanging over the new guy and he won't be given a chance, people have to forget about Keegan and get behind whoever it is. Life goes on.

Took Monaco to the Champions' League Final and a league title, got Juventus back into Serie A. League CUP title, he's not superman, no one is going to take a league away from Lyon.

Deschamps, Bilic, Van Gaal would be my top 3. I'm really fucking sick of having these conversations though.

Cant agree you with saying Keegan should be ashamed. He will not shaft and deceive the fans. He keeps his integrity. We have been shafted, and it's his timing. He has a contract, he can't be "forced" out like everyone is saying, he could have hung in there atleast until january.

I hope they're all fucking ashamed of themselves, Kev included because this is the worst possible time to do it.

Ofcourse it can work, but only between 2 of the right people. Clubs just take a manager, take a DOF and they slap them together, then they're surprised when there are tensions. They need to have a good working relationship.

I don't blame them, it's probably the only way to compete these days.

There's nothing about this anywhere. EDIT: Oh yes there is!

Where are you getting this from?

Yet he's spent something like a 5th of his wealth on the club. The guy isn't Abramovich, and we can't expect him to pump shitloads of his own money into transfers.

The media make out like Wise is the big man in charge, this probably isn't the case IMO, but alot of fans buy everything they say. Just look at the carry on outside SJP today.

The statement said they see his future at the club, or something along those lines. Definitely sounds like he's staying.

I hope those twats outside SJP are embarrassed.
