Saints Stuff

Excuse me?!

 

That's one hell of a drop. From managing Saints in the Prem to Bradford in League 2... wow.

 

More like his level, I’d suggest.

 

Three words: **** off Spurs.

 

Hopefully Spurs stick with him as he has hardly been there a few months yet. But if they do come in for Hasenhuttl, we just have to hope he recognises what a complete **** show they are at the moment and that if he does leave he will probably end up suffering a similar fate to Conte.

 

I honestly can't see him going to Spurs. Famous last words, I know.

 

Surely if Conte goes it is because Spurs is a basket case and they refuse to back him with transfer funds. Like they refused to back Poch as well. Would a manager like Ralph or Potter in a settled gig, properly backed and realistic expectations from the fans choose to go there ?

From that list Martinez and Rodgers should be higher. Brendan because things seem to be slipping with Leicester and he’d be wise to bail. He is kind of standing on a knife edge with them - if players return from injury it might all be fine. But if it isn’t are their board really going to let him keep stuffing the squad with players. They are paying Vestergaard and Bertrand something like 150k combined and they are like 7th choice CB and 3rd choice left back

 

And all of a sudden here comes the downside of us playing well again.

 

I honestly can’t see why anyone would want to manage Tottenham. As Conte implies, there is no prospect of any manager being able to build a team in their own image. Ralph would be insane to think about it for more than a nanosecond.

 

Levy will bring Pochettino back. It’ll be the only popular decision with the majority.

One hell of a cap in hand moment for Levy though… after falling out with Poch because he said they needed to rebuild the squad and keep investing after the UCL final in 2019. Oops.

Mauricio would come back too, I think.

 

Hmm, I'm not sure he would. I think he'll get better job offers than that TBH. Man United or even Real Madrid for me.

 

Surely Conte isn't actually going to go already. It was considered a coup for Spurs to get a manager of his calibre at all, and he's been there 5 minutes. Surely this is very much a case of you can't polish a turd and he needs time and resources to sort it out.

 

Thinking the same thing Tom and wondering how soon Conte will go and when any of the likely suspects will be available.

 

I agree. However, if Tom says the same I will be worried

 

Head bucket and sand ready.

 

Looking at a couple of Bradford forums, they seem thoroughly underwhelmed by Mark Hughes!

 

When Laces gets the RTM Wham thread up it is worth including the fact that the match will be live on Auntie Beeb’s iPlayer and Red Button. In colour, too.

 

Point taken!
