15/16 Football Season Discussion Thread

[Stopspot]

Mourinho has written letters to every single one of his employees. Furthermore, he's sent them to other clubs just to let them know he is available. The media has typically jumped on this and made it seem like he is a desperate stalker from Jono's home town. However, everyone knows Mourinho has wanted the United job since his Real Madrid days. He is in love with the club.

As for Spurs, great business from them so far. Levy is a tight cunt though. I do think Spurs have one of the top 5 managers in world football right now. Thankfully, he's in the BPL, so the England national team is getting the absolute BEST of him.

Pochy and Spurs kinda worked like a perfect storm I guess. A manager with a clear idea but who's willing to adapt it unlike some other "concept trainers", and a club who had reached the point were they went "right, we're rewriting the rulebook".

Speaking of Mourinho. He was spotted in Arctic Sweden this week, doing some publicity thing for Jaguar who have a testing facility up there to test that their cars work in winter conditions. Footie media had a field day.

Also, interesting FA cup game tonight. Derby at times looked completely schooled, but at times looked very comfortable.

Also, Pato is now at Chelsea on loan. We'll see how that goes

Agreed. They rightfully have full faith in him and it's rewarding them. Currently, they're title contenders in my books.

And tonight we were a lot better but it's Derby, and they were awful. It's a plaster over the massive wound we have right now with LVG poking his sharp object into it weekly.

On the topic of the Stamford Bridge cunts: Who do you guys see as taking over there next season? Since it has been made pretty clear that Gus is only in for the rest of the season to righten the ship.

I'm distant, like a fox.

Also Boro have a bid in for Rhodes be a cracking deal if it comes off.

Bids been accepted he's on his way to boro tomorrow for personal terms and medical

Also apparently agreed a deal with spurs @Stopspot to take alex Pritchard on loan read a lot of good stuff about him so hope he comes

 

[seabs]

Yeah I heard you're in for him also, hope he's healthy after his knee (?) injury. Apparently we've agreed a deal for McGeady on loan, not overly keen but if he's desperate to get to the Euros he could be a great asset.

He's not fully back from his knee injury, but set to return any week now. So a loan spell would be best for him because he just isn't fighting into the starting squad at this point in the season. And he has a lot of hope. Good young striker.

Chelsea will try their absolute best for Guardiola whom I don't think will come. Their second option is no doubt Simeone, and depending on their success in La Liga this season, I don't think that's too unrealistic. After those two though there really isn't that much managerial talent available. I guess option three would be persuade Guus to stay. I've read that he's interested in Mark Hughes, but that cant be anything other than media speculation.

 

[Stopspot]

Yeah I read the Hughes stuff as well. Seemed out of the blue.

 

[Crayo]

The media just sees someone doing well and creates a story. I think Spurs would do wel to keep Potchettino though.

 

[Stopspot]

Levy is in love with Pochy so I can see him holding onto him for as long as possible. Levy's right hand man (head of sports or some fancy title like that) apparently wanted Poch sacked over some dispute, and Levy ended up firing that guy instead. This dude was apparently instrumental in Redknapp and AVB getting kicked as well so he had a fair deal of pull.

 

[seabs]

Pep's off to City isn't he? They'll probably pull a Falcao and appoint Van Gaal.

 

[Stopspot]

Depending on how the European cup goes, there might be a few national managers looking for employment

 

[Gav back in the championship]

FFS!!!!!!! literally had Rhodes by the finger tips and we pull out of the deal at the last minute
