Then he is never going to take a risk is he?

I think the case for him is growing and I'd like to think he was at least interviewed for it.

Interestingly, what do people think Poyet will make of having Bally managing the reserves having been considered for the big job? Would he be happy having fans favorite looking over his shoulder?
 
i dont think he will be considered , he is too valuable to the club in other areas to lose, he is the sort to stay with safc until the end
 
Swap CL football, and managing a 4/6 league winning team and cup winners for bottom of the prem?

Hmm, I don't know. Maybe in the summer definitely but when they're doing well in the CL? I don't see Basel letting that happen. Basel is my hometown I know a thing or two about their mentality. They don't half mess around with finances. Shaquiri went for at least 20 mio to bayern.

Ellis Short to have a meeting with Murat Yakin, Basel manager in London on Thursday/Friday of this week. Interesting one. #safc
 
Apart from Di Matteo, we havent been linked to managers with experience at a high level. Unless you count Mclaren.

Not yet, we haven't, though we are being linked with this Yakin guy who has Champion-League experience.

I just dont see them messing up this time (wishful thinking maybe) and nothing's going to happen soon as they'll want to show they're doing things properly this time.
Bally may be in charge for at least 1 more game, infact if the new guy comes in before next week he could do what MoN did first game and sit upstairs and watch them play a team they're expected to lose against - then take charge!

I'd agree with that. No disrespect, i don't think he'd bother coming to us either.
Summer different story though,
Kevin ball interim?
