Dr Jinx Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Fonseca would be done by now if that’s who we wanted imho. Available, it’s straight forward. Our current league position has to be the issue, not that we can’t get our targets, but more a case of a two part appointment maybe. I can see a scenario where we have an agreement for a top class manager and DoF to come in during the summer and then we’ll just hire a manager similar to how Chelsea brought in Rafa for half a season.

The Prophet Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 The sporting director and managerial appointments are so, so key. Not only will they determine whether we stay in the league, but they'll set the tone for the club in the short to medium term. If they need another week to get the right men let them crack on. Getting them wrong would be far more damaging than Jones taking charge at Brighton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need someone who can come in, organise us and get us into the top 10 consistently. At that point then we can go for it and get a top quality manager. We need a Favre, Fonseca or something like that. In fact if spurs beat us to the punch for Fonseca, I would go for Nuno but to be honest we should have our manager in before Spurs sack him. The next manager is important but its unlikely it will be the one that wins us trophies or is around for 5 years or more. They need to get on with it now and get the person in place so they are prepared and ready for 2 weeks intense training during the international break. If we reach the break and they haven't appointed anyone, then that is when concerns will mount for me. They have this week - please dont screw it up.

Ashley17 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 The alleged people being interviewed aren’t going to suddenly walk away because we got turned over by Chelsea. They won’t look at it as needing to claw back 6 points on Burnley or whatever, they’ll aim for 50 points or something (knowing 40ish - or even less - will be enough).
