Happy Fox Posted 11 June 2025 Posted 11 June 2025 I could see us going for Rafa but he would turn us down no doubt about that, but his stock atm isn’t going to get a premier league level club so who knows..

He's 65. Surely he's got better things to do with his time than trying to turn around a basket case Championship club?
whoareyaaa Posted 11 June 2025 Posted 11 June 2025 Only we would swap Ruud for Carrick, brainless decision. 3

Rafa, Southgate spring to mind but but not really realistic. chris houghton is another negative Nigel I can think of. it would never happen but Southgate is actually what we need in my opinion. Forget tactics and inspiration speeches, he is excellent at instilling a good culture and we need that more than we ever had. I would also let him have full control over the entire structure. its worth nothing I am not a massive fan of his football but it would be nice to not concede so many’s, also i know this won’t happen.
EnderbyFox Posted 11 June 2025 Posted 11 June 2025 I actually think Southgate would be a great appointment, that's how low we've dropped
Guest Posted 11 June 2025 Posted 11 June 2025 Don't shoot the messenger but I've got a VERY well-placed source at the club who's told me we've offered someone the job - needless to say I won't be telling you who it is. Well-liked by some key figures on the board but others not so keen, unless they are. Just passing on what I've heard in a way that's really vague and non-committal, which obviously it needs to be in order to protect my source. 3

Same source told me we were going after Wilf Zaha last summer, two days later we were linked 👍🏻 1
