Has he though? He won 3 consecutive Europa Leagues with Seville and then one more with Villareal. He's as proven as probably the best just below the elite managers, way more so than wor Eddie. Not saying I'd swap with Villa mind, Eddie will have had a better career IMO :smitten:

 

He's proven he's a very good cup manager, but his league form wasn't particularly good at Sevilla or PSG. Though I think he was harshly treat at Arsenal.

 

Villa are riding the crest of a wave now, playing some really good stuff, but that the underlying data suggests they have been somewhat lucky.

 

It might be a different story next season. Villa will invest heavily over the summer and he'll be able to put his own stamp on the team, but I don't think any of Europe's elite will be charging in for him this summer.

They will also have to deal with teams becoming more aware of them as well. Similarly to us earlier in the season, they have somewhat gone under the radar a little. As teams become more aware of them they will find it more difficult, a bit like we have at times in the second half of this season.

Guardian reckon West Ham will target Fonseca to replace Moyes

 

What were the rumours of Fonseca to us? Seem to recall he rejected us or is that wrong/there wasn't much substance to the rumours full stop?

 

Funny if he did reject us that it'll be the second to do so before coming to the PL to firefight for another team this season.

Has Paratici not been banned from football?

Not to mention Will Still hasn’t got the required UEFA Pro licence. (Although I guess working towards it might count? His current club has to pay £22k every match he takes charge of, as a fine).

Nah, he was desperate for the job but didn’t do well in the interview iirc.

Roma are supposedly a lot better organised since he was replaced by Mourinho. Not sure Fonseca is all he is cracked up to be.

Yeah, now he’s enrolled on the course they don’t have to pay the fine.
