I say old bean, I'm currently in line to win over £1100 if Ten Hag is our new manager so would you kindly fuck off

I’m to win too, so yes old chap I share your sentiment ?

Ten hag

Fonseca

Favre

 

 

Martinez

Gerrard

 

Don't want the constant liverpool or England rumours with Gerrard if he did OK. Not convinced he would do OK on top of that anyway. Martinez would be OK but very uninspired. 

 

Any of the top three would be great for now, Favre would seem like a bit of a downgrade on the presence and character of Ten Hag and Fonseca but Favre has a record of turning teams around. It would be safe hands. 

 

Those Ten Hag quotes hardly rule anything out tbh but if he reportedly turned down barca and spurs I would be shocked to see him here, even on big money.

But can Ten Hag do it during a relegation battle away to a Burnley or Leeds on a Wednesday night?  Need a reliable pair of hands for a dogfight like Big Sam. (Not my opinion but a prediction of what the new pundit narrative will be if it happens)

The Barca job is a bit of a poisoned chalice anyway is it not?

I think plenty of managers turned down the basket case of a club that is currently Barcelona, especially as they ended up with Koeman.

Pearson! Let's be honest we have the money, we might as well get the best and buy out Warnocks contract.

OGS anyone?  Just been abused and heckled coming off the pitch , thought we were the infadels

[Peppe]

I might have dreamt this, but:

 

I'm sure I read somewhere that Favre was at Nice with ASM and they disliked each other. That might even have been (part of) the reason ASM left ?

 

How good is Favre? Would you flog ASM to get him here? Or aim to get someone else in and keep ASM? 

 

(Maybe they can kiss and make up if he gets the job of course ?) 

 

Edit: seems Favre left before ASM so not the reason ASM left then ?

We need to lock down EtH before Manure get their mitts on him.

I would say this is the most likely state of play with Caulkin being close to them.

 

Think we may see more links to ten Hag, Howe and Gerrard this week.

 

If I we’re a betting man I’d say it’s one of these 3, I expect Fonseca to drift in the betting not convinced they’re all in on him.

 

In response to a question about Paulo Fonseca on an Athletic post-match Q&A, Caulkin made it clear that PIF are yet to make a decision on Steve Bruce’s replacement. He wrote:

“I was told last night that things aren’t as advanced as that and that no formal decisions have been taken. I think there’s still a way to go in this process and more people to speak to.”

[Shearergol]

Howe isn’t the man for us. I’d rather take a risk on lampard tbh

Howay Mandy get the Ajax boys signed up before Barca and Man U stat sniffing

As long as they are in by Brighton I’m relaxed, I wonder if PIF are involved in the interviews ?

Looking at how long it took for Bruce I would say so. I am a little concerned about Jones being in charge too long. I think he is a big part of the problems and I didn’t like when he said he’s had guarantees about his job. He needs to be booted. I honestly think we will really struggle to stay up this year and any unnecessary delay due to decision making could be crucial.

[RodneyCisse]

Jones or someone else, we’re getting beat off Chelsea.

 

Take our time and get the right people.

I think Hope said similar - they've obviously briefed the media with that official line. They've spoken about being respectful and I imagine they'll want to interview managers without any of them thinking they're a second/third choice or whatever. The odds are Fonseca has had his interview and has made noises to whoever that he thinks it went well - which is fine. They'll interview other candidates this week and then make a decision based on who they think is best, not who is cheapest or who will cause the least problems. It's refreshing and takes as long as it takes, let's trust their process and see who gets the gig.

"The word last night was that talks with candidates will continue this week, but an appointment is likely next month."

[The Prophet]

Given Jones was told he had Palace and Chelsea, I assume we'll have someone in place for Brighton.
