TomC Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Remember when Pochettino was many people's favorite to replace SG? Look at Chelsea now. I know that Chelsea has many more problems than just the manager, but still... If it's true that we approached Poch first and he turned us down, that was a very fortunate rejection. (By the way, Unai had a better record at PSG than Poch did.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two are still elite Managers imo. However, would they be able to do what Unai has, with us? That probably eliminates Pep straight away imo. Klopp probably closer. As many have said, sometimes it's just about the right fit. Postecoglu has made higher profile Managers look like mugs with Tottenham.

Chelsea have just completed imploded from the top in last 18 months and it's a glorious watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 interesting video from James Allcott, doing a pyramid ranking of every current PL manager, worth noting it is specifically a pyramid, so they put a few managers here and there, then went back and specifically raised/dropped people to create a pyramid of ability. for convenience and those who cba to watch the video, this is the pyramid they chose: video if anyone wants to watch.

I am now convinced our team will be stronger than theirs going in to April and May.. those Newcastle players will be f*cked..

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Phil Neville linked with the Portland Timbers job much to the dismay of their fans. It amazes me how someone so dim and with such an awful record keeps getting opportunities. It's not even like Steve Bruce who was capable of doing average jobs.
