Richard Keys has friends!  I call bullshit on that.

Nice might be sacking Favre and going after Pocchetino

 

Favre has done well elsewhere but has had a poor start at Nice

It’s not the Beeb scraping the barrel mate. We are. Don’t think we will go for anyone in post. Good options out there IF we act soon.

Maybe I should try my hand at this journalism lark 

"Dover Athletic manager Andy Hessenthaler could be on Leicester City's radar should they dismiss David Brent impersonator Brendan Rodgers, according to exclusive reports on FoxesTalk, the Englishman having impressed the Leicester board by his ability to work with a tight budget at the part-time National League South team following their Covid-inflicted financial crisis and relegation from the National League."

I’ve made my mind up!!! I want AVB immediately and it’s not going to happen.

Oscar Gloukh should be a transfer target of ours, he is pure sauce.

[Corky]

Ban anyone at Leicester who is friends with Richard Keys. Slimy Cov twat.

It’s the Scotsman that’s responsible for that - the Beeb have simply copy and pasted into their gossip column.

Steve Cooper's future at Nottingham Forest is up in the air as the manager is yet to sign a new deal... with a number of clubs in England and abroad monitoring his status at the City Ground

Maybe they could sign 4 managers?

There would be no point hiring him midway through a season. Have you saw the intensity Celtic play with? It's wild. We don't have the players to employ that type of system right now. 

 

Getting him in during a transfer window when he can sign players who can do what he wants them to do makes more sense. 

I can only comment that it is quite possible that the reason our squad is not able to play such an intense style is because our training has left them inadequately prepared fitness-wise. With a different coach and training regime it might be possible to transform their fitness within a few weeks.  The availability of 5 subs, when used by a more savvy manager, might also help in enabling the squad to play more intensely and TO LAST THE 90 MINS.

Would you take Cooper?  He’s done well apart from now they’ve signed a whole new team. With a settled group he could do something here?

He’s a good manager and they’d be fools to fire him.  Not my absolute first choice but if he were available I’d certainly consider him.

Getting his excuses ready to fall into our board's arms

That reads like he’s played real life football manager with them, where you take the job at a club you hate then race to ruin them as quick as you can before they fire you.

I have no idea how good he is but it would be soooo fvckin funny for us to do this to Celtic again - given how incredibly salty their fans are

[Scotch]

This thread is the FT equivalent of having a fumble with your Mrs when your too drunk....

 

It's a bit of fun, someone will get excited, there will be a lot of moaning but ultimately, no one will come and everyone will be left feeling disappointed.

Sky Sports just had interview with Celtic manager Postecoglou who is home in Australia and asked him about link with us .

Basically  said he is already at a huge club that wins trophies and is in Champions League

Ange is not going to take it mate.  end of story.

Dychey please

Our short term needs and long term needs are very different, it makes this a tricky call. 

 

We need someone who has the ability to give them a rocket yet also get an arm around them. I dont think someone too firm and stand offish would work with our lads, a capello would probably just increase the fractions. So in that regard we need a Pearson/ Dyche type personality but we also need someone who tactically is at a higher level. Thomas Frank certainly could be the guy that ticks those boxes but my question with him is a bit unknown, are brentford good because of him, or are brentford good because of what goes on behind the scenes? Of course it would be a combination of them both but if he is relying on us to give him the tools to grow... lets just say our recent record hasnt been great.

 

I think you can lose a bit of the firmness with certain names in football. If the manager just oozes respect than the players will often graft for them regardless of whether or not they have that nasty side. But im not sure weve got the pull for a name right now.

The best thing I heard about Steve Cooper is that he always looks like he's just been released from a headlock.

I think you would have to. As well as Potter he would have been on my list. We need someone who can bring in and nurture talent and who places emphasis on teamwork and togetherness. Having a style and strategy is good but also the flexibility to be able to adapt to the players you have and circumstances in the game/opposition.
