    He announced retirement from football last week. He has no interest any more

    Pep broke him, two seasons on the trott finishing on 90+ points and still ending 2nd can do that to a man.

    All gone quiet on the England manager post as well… I reckon they’re talking to the Reubens and PIF myself

    I think he's an excellent coach who has not won the trophies he's "supposed to" because of logical circumstances that fans tend to ignore.

    He overachieved really at Spurs as they got to a CL final, which tbh they didn't really have the squad for.

    Then he went to PSG and did exactly as was expected from him apart from another CL final.

    Then he went to Chelsea and turned that rabble into a coherent fun to watch side.

    Even if he doesn't ever come to us, I think Poch is a very good manager.

    I can respect that. At least you give reason for optimism if it does start to happen

    imo it's only if Howe is either hired by England in the coming week or he's sacked around Jan. Other than that I don't see any way Poch isn't in a job before the start of play next season.

    I don't actually think Howe is going anywhere

    That’s a shame. It would have been a dream.

    But actually I dislike the man.

    Howe will do fine next season if the new guys can get signings over the line.

    if not. Howe is….

    Thing is, for me, I don’t see a better candidate for the England post IF they want English

    That will be potter or carsley reckon. Possibly Lampard.

    Think Howe will be fine and if both Guehi and Yilmaz are in by next week will all be good if we can avoid injuries.

    Mitchell staying as guest if Yilmaz agent tonight and last night in turkey

    Yilmaz would be a cracking start.

    He looks a good player.

    Turkish media reckon it will be done and dusted quickly.

    Romano has just announced Juve have transfer listed a load of players including Chiesa, they’ve been told to find new clubs

    Always liked Chiesa, but he had a dull Euros… Potter will be an odd choice for England - out of work, made no impact with the Chelsea All-Stars, a slow burn at Brighton … Carlsey, yeah, knows the set-up and the current international players; company man. I just think Ed’s got the pizazz that the FA might want after the lacklustre football (but Final worthy) at the Euros. There’s a World Cup around the corner and there’s not the time for a Potter to grind through the gears (and they’ll be taking the Chelsea experience into account… he might’ve got there eventually, but it looked like a few seasons worth of work and the WC doesn’t allow for that).

    ****! Eddie’s off!!

    That’s what I’m saying. Howe can only do what he can with what he has got.

    If they don’t get the players in. He can be smug.
