Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[Ian.]

I would imagine one thing we have learned with our owners, if they was looking or talking to other managers the media would only know either on the eve of the announcement or thereabouts.

From our side I'd agree but if we had spoken to them and they were interested but wanted to see what their other options might be I can understand them letting a rumour spread, it's works in their favour a lot more than ours because everyone can claim it's bullshit and we have a manager but they keep their names in the mix for jobs that come up.

I fear Poch has already turned us down otherwise he would be here now.

[Clampy]

I fear Poch has already turned us down otherwise he would be here now.

Why do people keep saying that? There's no evidence of that whatsoever.

More like he’s keeping his options open.

Same thing

Agreed. Absolute nonsense.

Even without the villa tinted glasses on I would think were a very attractive proposition for all but the very very top tier of managers.
Great ground, training facilities, play in the ‘best league in the world’, billionaire owners, well backed and presumably pay well.

[ChicagoLion]

Unless we are having the conversation that Spurs had with Conte, then why even approach Poch?

accept it looks like the owners don’t want to cough up any more cash.

For transfers or paying SG and his staff off?

see the supporters Trust thread

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Ok I’ve not read any of the thread, a quick look at the first page says 1 out 1 in but will look to players who will instantly upgrade the first 11, also Purslow will look to step in if continual improvement isn’t shown.

I’d like to think that no matter what was said if Gerrard does go the new man will be backed just like Gerrard and Smith were.

[Risso]

Even if Pochettino were to be remotely interested in a job like Villa, the only way that would happen would be if he was promised the sort of transfer budget he'd need to have a proper crack at the European places. And that I think, isn't very likely any more. The squad still needs massively upgrading, and "one in, one out" isn't go to fix that very quickly.

[Beard82]

It still comes back to the point that as a club, what were saying, doing, and apparently planning, don't add up

Gerrard is a cheque book manager so don't appoint him if your not going to throw money at it

If the owners don't want to keep banking rolling the club, dont buy 30 y/o for big wages and salary

If we want one in one out, dont sign Deandonker when we have Nakamba and Sanson in the bomb squaded, Dont try and buy Sarr while having Bert and AEG going out on loans

If we're being more sensible with money, sale Dougie and use Sanson

If were not going for it - dont extend the capacity of the ground
