Billy Pilgrim Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) He’s only gonna get one chance at managing Barcelona. He can afford to come back elsewhere in Europe, fail a bit but get experience, and then walk into the job when he’s better prepared. If I was him I’d be looking at a small club in a big league outside of Spain and plan for Barcelona within 4-5 years.

Good thing is that there’d presumably be a ton of goodwill and hopefully a long leash from the supporters, being the legend that he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 it's an odd time for him to choose to go into it, the current problems would test the very best managers let alone a relative novice. But I suppose with the exception of Guardiola himself no one else is likely to get more patience and time from the supporters unless he makes a complete balls of it and is threatening to relegate them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes those are all real and separate competitions. And the Qatari lottery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 10 games and he could be sacked already. Seems the right thing to do. Bruce wasn’t given long enough by those pesky Geordies though, should’ve been given more than 2 and a bit seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I love the absolute conviction that Fonesca would be a better appointment than Martinez, despite very little evidence to suggest so. Is it because Fonseca or Favre haven't been in this league therefore represent a hope that they will be mint? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) Newcastle fan suggesting Bruce as a replacement for Nuno, citing all the reasons that were given for why he should stay with us, was branded as 'sarcastic' on talksport. *amidst a stream of Nuno out, time's up, got to go comments without any suggestion its unreasonable. 10games.

Do not get the Fonseca love, which does seem to be based on the fact he spoke well in a YouTube video and half the posters on here fancy him Saying that I think Martinez would be a fucking disaster.

The Prophet Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) Spurs' problems are systemic and go far beyond the manager. They need to go back to basics and reinstate the system that got them into the top six in the first place.

Pokerprince2004 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 10 games is just a ridiculously short time to give a manager especially when he has won 5 of the 10 matches! The reaction to him by Spurs fans yesterday was more vitriolic than anything we ever did to Bruce but I dont see any uproar, so damn annoying how we are portrayed as deluded and ungrateful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's so many variables to what success looks like. From the outside its easy to say it looks like he's doing OK but the reality can often be different. No club should hire a manager which the fans aren't fussed about. It's the same reason why Rafa will never win over Everton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
