Maybe we should go for Adam Murray, he's young, and has AFC Fylde playing some wonderful stuff.

Yeah that'll happen.
You’re assuming Poch wants back.
Why the hell would he come back now? I’m sure there will be plenty of other opportunities in the future
Nuno is coming back
Nuno is currently leading the Saudi Pro League with Al-Ittihad, three points clear of Ronaldo's Al-Nassr.
Elsewhere in "everyone wins trophies as soon as they escape Spurs" news, Moussa Sissoko is into the Coupe de France final with Nantes where they'll face Toulouse.
Exactly his system is more of a slow passing gane. We need more pace and pressing. He could score a goal v morroco in 120 mins in WC. So to me shows he possibly doesn’t know how to change to diff tactics?
And fraudster
Bloody spot on! It’s so obvious to us Min ions yet to people being paid millions who probably don’t have the same passion for the football team as we do can’t figure it out.
The soec is a dynamic manager , I’m who utilises youth, builds a string team ethic, sets the team to go out and win babes and plays on the front foot. Now that iis saying we need to play pretty patterns bcos that ain’t never gonna happen. Hence why Enrique is also unsuited. It has to be a poch JN or slot type of coach.
I haven't gone back to his first two seasons (where the record I think might have been marginally better but his last two seasons it was fucking awful, he took 6/24 points in both seasons (including a 5-2 hammering by Arse).
Redknapp was a blagger. It was lottery football. Good against shit teams, generally bad against the top teams. He had some great players at his disposal (King, Gallas, Walker, Modric, Parker, Palacios, Adebayor, VDV, Bale) all he got was one 4th and he fucked a ten goal lead to lose CL to Arse.
He talked utter bollocks. No serious club would have gone near him.
Won the league and Europa League at Porto, League, Cup and Super Cup at Zenit.
You are just wrong. So many people seem to have retro remembered every game of Pochettino like this. It very much wasn't. Despite having much better squad than AVB had, so many of Pochettino's games were identical in nature to AVB's, where we struggled to move the ball quickly and to break down passive teams. The football in the last two seasons was fucking dire, worse than anything AVB served up. To be fair by then we had donkey's like Sissoko in midfield, but similar personnel issues hindered AVB too.
Well our last three coaches couldn't do it, so...
So similar then. Patience, then explosive player produces. I mean Guardiola is a genius, I'm not the one who was comparing them, you did, but let's be fair, AVB had nowhere near the squad Guardiola did when he was at Spurs, he was stripped of Modric, VDV, Bale. In leagues where he did have relative strong squads he won titles, in Portugal he set a record for goals scored and won the Europa too.
No, his PPG was higher because he had 3 months, if we'd let the fuckwit loose any longer that PPG would have nosedived.
What's it going to take to keep the punters happy? Dominating the ball - not enough. Decent PPG (in context of team) - not enough (let's face it Conte's PPG is decent in context).
So we've got to find a coach who will play the entire game in the opposite third, press for 90 minutes, and win most games?
Ignore the AVB and Ramos references if you like, my point is, I believe there are people on here who are genuine when they say they can buy into a process/project. I can. But I don't believe everyone who says it. And I know a big chunk of fans in general won't.
It doesn't matter what you tell the players. They do what you practice. If you only practice low defence, parking the bus-football, that is what the players naturally will do. And honestly that's the football the players have practiced under Mourinho, Nuno and Conte.
I was just about to say this.
If Nagelsmann goes to Chelsea, I am quite worried we will be heading towards Enrique.
agree with this, the other thing is as a player when you are looking for a player to create a change we only have Kane, under Poch we had Eriksen & Kane,
It just seems too predictable. We've been in this Top Tier Manager holding pattern since Poch left (Nuno aside - an expensive interim) when what the team (and manager) have desperately needed the whole time is the clear-out that Poch referred to before he left. To their credit, Conte and Mourinho both managed to get a tune out of them for a few months before it all fell apart.
I'm sick to death of Levy papering over that gaping hole with expensive bandaids, at odds with the playing style and philosophy that endears so many of us to the club. Is glory just about the top 4 financial trophy?
Not worth putting too much belief in that article either way tbh.
If we are willing to pay whatever Feyenoord want to release Slot, the club will want the money and Slot will want to go the Premier League.
If we want him that is. More likely is that Levy hasn't got the balls to appoint anyone that isn't a big name and will go for Enrique.
Just a reminder of what was. Forgot how much movement there was from Son, Dele, Kane and Erikson when we had the ball in the final third. Crisp quick passing and players making runs to open up chances.
When the counter-attack isn’t on - Conte ball is SO STALE - No movement - Just a couple of guys standing in or around the box waiting for a speculative crosses from the wingbacks. Lots of goals off set pieces though … especially corners this season so that’s a plus - Not very entertaining however.
I’d really like Poch back with a mandate to be ruthless in clearing out the deadwood from the squad.
