Mancini played for us ... albeit more of a cameo ...but he would be popular with the fans ... the owners will offer good money... so you never know who might be tempted ... they'll be money available to spend in January too ... Persoinally I was sorry to see Ranieri go ... I've no doubt he would have turned it around ... ... but it's never a good idea to get too sentimental or overly optimistic as a fan ... Koeman was supposed to turn Everton into top 4 contenders, and look how that's working out ... Wouldn't be surprised if we don't piss off fans of Watford, Wolves or Huddersfield by sounding out their managers ...
Well, well, well. Go over to my prescient "Leicester Spiral" thread, and you will see that I called this 100% bang on the money! How ****ing good am I? I said that Mr Shawaddywaddy (or whatever the ****er's name is) should sack Shakey and get in Fat Sam. It is clear that he has taken the first part of my advice! Honestly, you lads must wonder how I do this. It helps to be "in the know," of course.
... I'm a cynic ... money is a great persuader and our owners have plenty of it ... amazing how readily principles can get sidelined if the money is put down ... only time will tell, of course ... but we are the 19th richest club in the world according to Forbes ... Personally I'd like to see a good younger manager come in and be given time to develop the undoubted talent coming through our development squad ...
Not on about principles. It's simply not a big enough step up. They'll most likely finish above you this season. As for your last paragraph, Eddie Howe.
You have never been "in the know" Quentin ... whether it be about property development, football songs or even the difference between an acronym and a synonym
Bambi, did I or did I not call Shakey's sacking a mere hour before the useless back-stabbing twat was sacked? Yes or no?
...so where else would he go? ... step ups can be limited opportunities... we have shown that we are prepared to shell out on £20-£30 M transfers ... there aren't that many clubs that can ... ... quite like Eddie Howe though
Quentin ... Shakey's odds had been tumbling with the bookies ... it was likely to be him or Koeman you plum ... hardly inspired punditry ... indeed the owners did more or less the same with Ranieri in terms of the run of winless games
...and yet I called it within an hour of the press announcing his sacking. Not the end of the season. Not Christmas. Within the hour. Your pointless rambling and denial is now exposed, Bambi. Time to give it a rest, mate.
Yes or no? One reply will expose you for a muppet (again), and the other will prove that you have some humility.
Quentin, Quentin, Quentin ... your desperate neediness is so embarrassing ... you predicted that a manager of a team in the relegation zone might get sacked? ... inspired ... soft twat
Stay at Watford and enhance his reputation. Can see Spurs going for him once Poch finally leaves. He wont leave to join Leicester with your owners silly expectations. The
I don't think he would move you on..I think he is overated...a lot of the 'young English manager' reputation about him.
...but he joined Watford? ... few press reports linking him already ... whoever gets the gig it could be interesting ... and possibly surprising ..
