Emoji Candidate Number One...
We just need to give Romero a competent partner - Laporte would be great.
Nagelsmann - from German press and also Fabrizo Romano, he would have considered coming but wanted power choosing DoF which clearly the club wasn’t willing to give. Could have been done it appears if we really wanted it.
Slot - we wouldn’t pay the release fee which was quite high.
Poch - can understand reservation but otherwise the clear option and confirmed by Ossie and others he wanted back.
Luis Enrique - yeh agreed, I am not sure this was compatible at all given what he would need.
I am not against Poste, he seems to tick some boxes but it’s a huge step up and we had the chance to get others who ticked the same boxes but less risk it’s actually a big risk that Levy has played.
I think you're taking it a bit too literally.The players shouldn't be choosing the type of football that the team plays.
Do you think Pep goes to John Stones and asks what formation they should pick today?
As soon as Nagelsman (or any other) starts making major demands you have to walk away
They either want the job as per the brief or they don't.....we've already been down that path with Conte
But he might have been making outrageous financial demands.His demands appeared to be shaping the philosophy of the club. For me that is fine, a Naglesmann Rangnick duo as manager and DoF would have fixed us up, u less he was making outrageous financial demands it was a missed opportunity.
Better than havingI think you're taking it a bit too literally.
The point is no player can enjoy being asked to defend for 90 mins.
Just getting a whiff of a manager who will want them to attack will be a positive in their mind.
You know that means we are going to win a trophy in 2024 right? Right? RIGHT?I've just learned he was Migrant Number 24...

Ange Postecoglou: From migrant number 24 to lauded Socceroos coach
Ange Postecoglou is the "hard arse" coach credited with helping turn Australian soccer from "forgotten game to unforgettable glory", but his road to the top has not always been smooth.www.abc.net.au
Good thread, shows the challenges that he will face while still acknowledging that he is a good coach.
Also makes the prospect of selling Kane a lot easier to digest, since the money can be used to fix other areas and not just getting a replacement.
Don't need to wait til 2024You know that means we are going to win a trophy in 2024 right? Right? RIGHT?
Of course not. But that doesn't mean that they don't have a style of football that they prefer.The players shouldn't be choosing the type of football that the team plays.
Do you think Pep goes to John Stones and asks what formation they should pick today?
Not seeing them sell Salah yet, whilst also not seeing them buy any midfielders yet.I mean, the board should be making money available to fix the squad without selling Kane.
We aren't seeing Liverpool selling Salah to afford a whole new midfield even though they need one.
Guess what?They will get a whole new midfield as well, even though they just spent 100m on Darwin, 60m on Diaz, 40m on Gakpo.
That's because they don't have lightweight owners.
