Top 3 is Rafa, ten Haag and Fonseca. I’m really getting the feeling they’ve got an agreement with Fonseca but they’re aiming higher… I'm off Ken Haag since that highly strung fellow told us he was unproven as Dutch football is shit.

BGRM Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 We're now going to be competing with Barcelona for a new manager as Koeman's been sacked tonight. Bloody hell how things can change in a couple of weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I'd imagine its highly unlikely that Barca will be looking at the likes of Favre and Fonseca. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be able to get him on a pittance compared to any other manager, so could be worth it just for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geogaddi Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) Pretty sure Xavi turned Barca down a few years ago as they were a bit of a mess even then , can’t see why he would think they are any better now . Any half decent manager would be mad to go to them at the minute and they can’t pay much anyway so that rules out Ten Hag. I think they will end up with Martinez which is good news for us.

mrmojorisin75 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 true but it's not something that's totally alien to them is what i mean, appointing someone who came through their system and succeeded at the highest level would surely be the best thing for them at this stage also people saying overmars/ten hag to Barca - why would they need overmars? identifying and developing youth players isn't exactly their problem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 actually just reading in the athletic that xavi was close to font, who laporte beat in the election so there's never actually been an approach for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokerprince2004 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Just looking at current odds and Fonseca has now drifted out to 5/2, coupled with what Caulkin said the other day that he's been told it won't be Fonseca makes me think club have decided not to go for him. Maybe Favre is the one to keep an eye on now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlymouthGeordie Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 It is odd how 5/6 days ago every journalist going was linking managers etc and for the last 3 days there has hardly been a peep. Really hope after the time they're taking the appointment isn't underwhelming i.e. Lampard or Gerrard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all about generating page views, Man United and Barcelona have a larger global audience, so a journo will get more bang for their buck clickbaiting their following, rather than Newcastle fans. They had no idea who we were after last week and they still have no idea. The difference is there are now bigger and better stories to hit their click quota with.
