Next manager?

Mauricio Pochettino...

Seriously suggested by a Fleet St jorno.

We spent more money on new signings this summer than Spurs and we have a ground with a valid safety certificate so he might see it as an upward move.

Not true.  Garde really was a decent honourable man.  I have met him and my judgement says it is so.  I cannot repeat on here the actual level of hatred there was for the French in the dressing, including the French manager.  He shrugged a very French shrug and walked away from it all.  He was exactly the right manager at exactly the wrong time.  Our treatment of him was shameful and by "our" I mean primarily the snakes in the dressing room.

So the eleven game Bruce has managed us for this season:

5 teams currently in the bottom six
All 3 promoted teams from League One
Only 2 of the current top 8

Sums up why being 13th and 7 points off the top 3 isn’t good enough, and the next manager is basically being given a hospital pass.

Bring on December!

My apologies if already posted but this is a good read

Impressive analysis.  Too good to be true, surely?  Despite the quotes I posted early stating how keen he is to work in England (didn't say the premier league).

It’s not ridiculous, based only on the absurd wealth of our owners. I’d say we’re still a more attractive option than the loveable geordies were when Benitez joined them.

I am so pleased Gareth Southgate has agreed a new contract for Dngland.

I said earlier, we are a very, very desirable club for the right manager.
Despite where we are now, if a manager can get us up quickly, then the sky’s the limit with the resources our owners have.

Any manager with a brain and real ambition should think that this job is an incredible opportunity.

This Fonseca link, and as tenuous and improbable as it is, is very exciting and precisely the direction we should be looking to go in.

Paolo Fonseca

Abel Ferreria 20/1, the one name on the list I've near heard of. Interested to learn who he's managed.

He directed The King of New York, didn't he?

For the first time since we appointed MON I expect we will aiming high.

Serious question. With FFP, can we afford to aim high?

After a little read up on Fonseca, he looks an exciting opportunity. It’s the unknown but we’ve tried the promotion specialist approach and that had some fun moments but a lot of very dull and frustrating ones.
