Next Manager?

Harry’s team would beat Pochs team at White Hart Lane.

That would be an interesting match - if you're correct does that make Redknapp a massive underachiever considering he done less in a weaker league or Poch a massive overachiever?
 
And in a key game

Hmmm Portsmouth FA Cup semi? Mid-table-Chelsea FA Cup semi? United 2nd string in the league cup final? Not exactly a team known for performing in the big games were they.

Fwiw i think the 10/11 team was great on paper and should have put in a title challenge that year with the way we were playing

Maybe...
But also flip it round to Colchester United
Chelsea son wing back....
United under Jose who apparently were brick
 
If we are looking at managers who have experienced winning major titles and are gettable then the only two are Roberto Mancini or Ancelotti
 
Eredivisie finished yesterday. So if it is ETH, they're pretty much on to announce asap no? Dutch cup was played in April so nothing else pending for Ajax surely?

Put it this way, if its ETH he could watch from the stands our final 2 games which would help him a lot. Seeing as that would be clear he's joining, if he's not there in the stands then my technical analysis rules him out.

you learn more watching the tape than you do from the stands
 
That's the thing about Potter. A worryingly large part of the argument for appointing him is that he leads the league in imaginary goals, which is what xG is.

He doesn' t lead the league anywhere else - in fact, he's at the foot of it, except when it comes to unwanted stats like these.

And is that doing a good enough job? Especially with players that Bobby Martinez would have killed for at Wigan - he was scraping around with the likes of Maynor Figueroa and Hugo Rodallega, and he still surpassed what Potter's done to date.

Neither of them are for us, imo. Potter's next move should be Everton or West Ham - if he proves himself there, we'll know he can do it in the Prem. Right now? Huge question mark.

How dare you attack Graham.
He took clipboard Chris's Brighton side (that has finished 15th and 17th) to the new heights of finishing 15th and is currently on course for a unpreceded 17th.
 
It's was so far from winning the cup with PSG as its possible to be! He took the team from tier 4 to tier 1 in 5 seasons. A team from a small city in the middle of nowhere, a team and city with absolutely no history of football. A more relevant comparison would be to win the FA cup with Stevenage or Torquay, without any significant investment in the team.

The comparison to PSG isn’t relevant either, it’s neither here nor there that Poch won that cup. I think what is much more relevant is managing in the context we aspire to be in - consistency at the top of the league, competing with the best clubs in Europe over two legs. Managing big games and big names. We need our manager to do that.

Yep
An Poch did NONE of that before we appointed him
