Wishful thinking on fans’ behalf thinking with that and him being Mourinho = success, IMO anyway. He brought up that connection, Newcastle or the media didnt. Yah maybe he's talking nonsense about the connection with Robson but when he said that, he wasnt exactly saying he wasnt interested. For me, it was definitely a case of, if he wasnt employed by Roma, he'd relish it & love the opportunity of sticking it to Manu, Spurs & Chelsea, Pep at city, with a board behind him & a strong financial budget to shape the team how he wants. We could do alot worse than Mourinho. Lampard, Martinez, Rooney & co would be massive step downs from him, id rather give Jones the job until summer rather than give it to any of those few Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 56 minutes ago, The Prophet said: I don't see why Rodgers would leave Leicester at the moment. At this moment in time we're a massive gamble. The structure of the club has yet to be settled on and potential managers have no idea how secure their position would be within that structure and they're unlikely to find out until key appointments have been made. The infrastructure of the club has been left to rot for years, training facilities are inadequate and I'd imagine our scouting network, along with the academy are lightyears behind other clubs. On top of that what happens if we get relegated? Do their terms change and will resources be cut? In short we're far too unstable to interest a big name manager until a plan is settled on and the club's stature begins to grow. I think a lot of people are underestimating just how attractive this job is. Managers want to be able to buy the best players, we are going to be one of the few that will be able to allow them to buy the players they want instead of worrying about a budget. I think the likes of Rafa, Brendan and Mourinho would defo like to take this job under different circumstances, just the timing isn't right for now.

The most important thing this year is to stay in the division. If Jones can get results on a regular basis to achieve that (I personally very much doubt it), then that's fine.

I wouldn't mind him seeing it until the end of the season if he does okay and keeps us up. Far more appealing for a lot of managers to take a project with a preseason and full summer transfer window - options available might be better than now as well.

Nah I think two matches is enough tbh, the more time a proper manager gets with this squad the better, we want someone who can bring in players in January.

You're correct on your last part, the options would certainly increase and rbe better. I'm just not convinced at all that Jones would provide safety.

nbthree3 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Just shows the consortium are taking their time, speaking to lots of candidates before settling as many journalists have said.

The Prophet Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Andy, was bang on, the British media are just guessing. They told us Bruce would be gone 'within 48 hours', they missed his actual sacking and they were last to report on the Fonseca interest. I like Craig Hope, but that just sounds like total guesswork. The consortium have obviously got any leaks locked down and the journalists with links to agents and other third parties are going to be ahead of the game.
