Announced overnight that Luis Felipe Scolari will be leaving Guangzhou Evergrande at the end of November. He wants a return to Europe.

 

Would he be considered? 

 

Serial winner.

 

Sacked as Chelsea Manager though. Although did only lose 5 in 30 odd games from memory.

He always says that, whoever are linked.  If that comment is to be taken like that, it puts you on a par with Crystal Palace, which is the last club he said it about it.  There's Sunderland as well, if that makes a better comparison.

 

But there's no doubt that Leicester is a much bigger place than Burnley with a much bigger catchment area too.  On the other hand, there's also no doubt that Burnley's board of directors are much easier to work for than Leicester's.

 maybe his Contract stipulates that every time a Premier League club makes a formal approach he gets a loyalty payment?

Koeman would be very good for us though.

 

Did a good job at Southampton and they always looked good whenever they played us. 

I can see this happening and oddly enough the way the football gods work; sacked by Everton to manage his first game for us against them.

You know what..... probably not now but I reckon Scholesy will make a cracking manager one day..... if we could get him in as an assistant along with a decent head gaffer we could be laughing.... in fact we could ditch most of the useless ***** we have and replace them with a team.... Giggs and Scholes as coaches and then a decent man manager at the top, MON for example.....people who know how to win..... just a farcical illusion mind....

Maybe not the best example to use since neither would be options but the examples of Tuchel and Simeone interest me.

 

In Simeones case you cant deny that hes done an exceptional job shaking the Barca/Real duopoly but does the 'he'd fit right into any club in the world' talk hold up?

 

He has an advantage at Madrid in that he is speaking his first language. Squad has players from countries who have no barrier with the language either so the onus is on a player new to Spanish culture to get up to speed. Say he goes to Liverpool next season and the onus is on him to get the message across this time but results dont go his way and hes seen as overrated. 

 

In his home country Klopp was able to relay his message to the players and not hesitate with a second language in interviews or team meetings. It might be the same for Tuchel. If someone unsure of getting through to the players due to difficulties speaking the same language that hesitancy could be precious game time lost.

Might have been a factor too in Pep not setting the world alight at Man City last year.

 

Not every home nation manager is a genius either but the years spent with Pearson in charge of us our rise as a club might never have happened with a non English speaker in charge. The impact Pulis had on Stoke, Dyche at Burnley or Sir Alex at Man Utd was surely helped greatly by the fact that they were all home grown.


 

Mourinho, Conté, Ancelotti, Cruijff might have a wird with you.

So basicly if we offer him the job he will take it. If he didn't want it he would rule himself out surely. 

Mentions the family situation being far from ideal, and a bit of a dig at finances and squad size. He also desperately wanted to keep Andre Gray and couldn't keep Keane. Wouldn't have the same amount of poaching here...

Or Everton fire Keoman and we're in direct competition with Everton for candidates....

I couldn't see Everton going for Dyche. Bit too small time for their new owner I would of thought.

Watford poached Gray from them. If Watford FC can poach one of your best players then you really are a small club.
