STM Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I've been doing a bit of scouring on t'net, and so far the only sites that are mentioning the "no french schools" story are the Guardian and a shitty site called MyFreeFoot, which says: "It remains to know his intentions and his envy of the moment. One could, however, hamper the arrival of the Basque in northern England: the absence of a french high school in the town for his son. So Deschamps at the helm of white and black? The coming days will give us the answer." The Guardian claim that L'Equipe are reporting it, but i can't find anything on their official site. Sounds like they are "suggesting" it could be a problem more than anything. Probably because of the Man City thing in the summer. Right now we are holding our hopes on threads of information, ridiculas betting odds and poor non stop coverage from SSN. I urge people to calm down. All we can be sure of is that Mort and Co are identifing possible european candidates such as the likes of Deschamps and Houllier. This for me means they are going down the correct sort of chanells. Even if the Deschamps stuff was a tad premature they will be well aware of him now and hopefully having a look at the same sort of stuff we have been.

KaKa Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Nice to see Sir Bobby helping out if that is the case. Fatih is well regarded and does like his attacking football that's for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShearMagic Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'm just really happy that we're looking at the sorts of managers that have been mentioned tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 On 5M a year he could buy a fookin french school. On a serious note, the papers are loving this, stop lining their two faced pockets and wait for an announcement. If it was Deschamps, I would not be too disappointed. He would certinaly need more than 24 games however. Would the fans give him this? Not so sure. We would expect a 7-0 win against Bolton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

danswan Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Why does he want to go to French school? Surely he already knows French?? There's plenty of good English schools up here, that's what he needs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 That French bloke from France Football has just been on Talksport again and is still convinced that Deschamps will be the one. Said that if he did come, there would be a lot of transfer activity (in and out) before the end of the transfer window but would not discuss names until he had been appointed!

David Icke - Son of God Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 France Football is highly reputable, which gives me hope the Deschamps link is more than bollocks.

STM Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Alan Oliver, today in the Chronicle: Meanwhile, I was contacted by the Deschamps camp by Jamie Ladjemi, a leading agent in French football, who were keen to put the claims of their man who captained France to victory in the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000, as well as leading Monaco to its first Champions League final as coach in 2004. Ladjemi told me today: "I have spoken to Chris Mort about Didier, but he has not come back to me." Deschamps turned down the chance to manage Manchester City before Sven-Goran Eriksson because there was no suitable French school for his son in the North West. ________________________________________ I believe that that is where we are with all of this manager stuff. We've had brief conversations with reps of each candidate, and now we're mulling it over. before approaching who we want. That would really confirm for me that he is interested in the job or their would be absolutely no reason for them to "come back to me". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to wiki "It's one of the most reputable sports publications in Europe, mostly because of their photographic reports and accurate statistics" Someone obviously agrees with you.
