How is Fonseca a loftier ambition as opposed to Benitez? Benitez has a CL win on his CV and has managed some of the biggest clubs in World football.Agree that we were never getting Conte but in no way is boring Benitez a good appointment. If we were in a relegation scrap then maybe but hopefully we have slightly loftier ambitions than that.
Our issue last season had a lot to do with the manager. The squad as well, but the manager did a woeful job. Agree with everything else you've said.People were desperate for possession-based attacking football and creaming over Potter who finished a lofty 16th with Brighton.
Had never heard of this guy before yesterday but is he any worse than what we've been linked with (other than Conte or Poch who we were never seriously going to give 200m for the rebuild)?
Given that we will not be splashing the cash we need someone who can get us playing an attractive brand of football and work within a tight budget.
Tight doesn't mean we can't sign good players as we've seen with these Thuram rumours. I expect plenty more targets to emerge from nowhere now that Patricini is getting to work.
Our issue in recent years has not been the manager, it's been squad turnover and big money signings that haven't worked out.
If Patricini can improve us on that front then we will improve regardless of the manager.
They may have had talks but we all know where levy fucks things upWTF? Who ?
Levy is a cunt. Another cheapo move. I,m now convinced talks with Conte and Poch were smokescreens to get season tickets renewed.
What happens when this move fails is Levy gonna fire himself...ffs
I'm now cunt assuming you.....Dude? Are you gender-assuming me?
Like it was obvious Mourinho wouldn't last 2 years i'd say Fonseca gone within 12 months and i wouldn't be blaming him.18 months ? 24 ?
Rinse & repeat
Is that the same woman in both pictures ? On a train and bored. It makes me ask potentially cancelling questions.

Corrected that for you mate.I'm now a cunt, assuming you.....
Crap to our level. He is not a terrible manager.Benfica1904 any thoughts on Fonseca. Nabil Bentaleb has already said he is crap.
Yup, it appears , from hearing from other managers , false promises are made . The manager gets disillusioned, that effects the squad & the manager goes.Like it was obvious Mourinho wouldn't last 2 years i'd say Fonseca gone within 12 months and i wouldn't be blaming him.
12 games. Not 12 months is my bet.Like it was obvious Mourinho wouldn't last 2 years i'd say Fonseca gone within 12 months and i wouldn't be blaming him.
It's he/she/him/her cunt to youCorrected that for you mate.
What went wrong with him at Porto?Crap to our level. He is not a terrible manager.
