Any danger of us giving the lad a chance before we start slagging him off.

95% of people on here have been crying out for a Director of Football, and for Levy to take a step back. That's happened, the DoF has chosen the manager, and you're all berating him already.



I understand he's not the name you were hoping for, especially after Conte and Poch links, but this is who the DoF wants, so allow it and judge after his first season.
 
Ranulph Fiennes, after suffering from frostbite in the fingers for days, went to his shed and simply cut them off with a hacksaw.

That is how I feel right now.

What's the point? Joke of a club. He's fucked us. Woolwich will be loving this.
Why? Finished above them for 6 years. Havent seen a gooner shirt about for years. Way i see it city and chelsea fucked up league with spend spend spend all time. Were playing catch up. Liverpool got in the mix selling coutinho for huge fee and brought in quality signings. We can do that if we flog kane hence why new dof. Tbh kane has been part of team for 6 years and hasnt won nothing. No point dwelling Im optimistic. Potter is admired but needs a couple more years. Can see poch coming home one day.

hes awful thats why. he made porto worse then they are, fucked up roma and got replaced by a past it mourinho. this has the hallmarks of failure on it
 
and they are trying to keep kane, kane wont stay with this guy in charge
I think they're probably already expecting Kane to leave. Or at least, aren't going to try to convince him to stay. They've probably decided that he has a contract, and if he thinks that there is a queue to buy him, then he can take a look at the offers, and then maybe realize that the market for a guy who has ankles made of glass is a lot smaller than he thinks. And if he still wants to leave, he can sell himself.

Roma were fucked up when he arrived, and continued to fuck up around him. That's not really on him. I mean, they've looked at Spurs under Mourinho and decided they really fancy some of that. That's not a mark against Fonseca...

Fucking well said!

Yeah. I wanted a DoF, but I wanted someone who was great at spotting talent and making us better without breaking records every time. Someone who can give us an edge.

This... This doesn't look like an edge. This looks daft. I can't see it working.

Would love to be wrong, but seriously, what is the logic in this choice? Where's Paratici coming from?

Feels like Maureen all over again.

Fuck.
 
When poch joined he was a gamble but i knew and was quite excited by it. The way southampton passed us off pitch at whl before bale wonder goal i thought he would be a good appointment. This fonseca guy havent seen their style of play. Looking at profile similar to poch. Possession high press and promotes youth. Have to be open minded. I have read this dof were getting is one of the best. Its a gamble like poch but im open minded on this one.
