Well Houllier practically treated it as a part time gig. O'Neill wasn't exactly a fixture at Bodymoor Heath either.

But with the nature of the PL now, you couldn't be operating that way.

If the price of getting Mancini was we had to agree to let him head away at the international break in March and again next summer,  I'd pay it.    I'm sure the massive coaching team he'd want could take training at BH for a few days.

For Mancini, at a push, maybe. For Martinez? Nah.

Martinez is a fraud. Never a top ten prem manager.

I'd sooner have Gerrard, and that's saying something.

Feel bound to say I don't think Mancini is leaving the Italy job before the World Cup for anyone. Not Juve, not Real, not nobody.

Thank fuck.   How he is still in that gig is perplexing indeed.

Lucien Favre is an interesting name but to use an Australian phrase why don't we just go "Balls Out" and throw a shit load of money to get Joachim Lowe.

Because Löw by the end was looking obsolete in the tactical second division that is international football, IMO.

Poland could do worse.  But not much.

Outside of him seemingly not knowing what to do with the immense talent he had in Germany, it would be endless nut and arse sniffing jokes that we don't need.
