If we are not 3 nil up within the first 15 minutes of our first game of the season, I can see his tenure being very, very short. Match threads last season, absolutely priceless - we have some right fickles on here - personally, just for the LOL's I can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eelpie Posted 23 June, 2017 Share Posted 23 June, 2017 I hope to be pleasantly surprised. I was unenthusiastic about the appointment of Pochettino. I was very enthusiastic about Koeman and very unenthusiastic about Puel and didn't expect him to last more than a year. I don't want to say I was right about Puel because I warmed to him as a man and thought he deserved another season. I feel Pellegrino would be very much a case of out of the frying pan into the fire but hope that, like Pochettino, he proves me wrong. What concerns me though is that since the departure of Paul Mitchell, the standard of our recruitment both on and off the pitch has not been very good. Isn't Paul Mitchell without a job now?

Saint Garrett Posted 23 June, 2017 Share Posted 23 June, 2017 Feel sorry for Pellegrino already with Bertrand and VVD looking likely to go and now Cedric being linked to Juventus he doesn't stand much of a chance. Where does it say Bertrand is likely to go? I'd say its not likely, and I'd say VVD is pretty unlikely unless we get huge money for him. When we say they're not going anywhere in this window, it normally means they go nowhere. I completely understand the clubs decision if someone offers us ca £70m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchards Posted 23 June, 2017 Share Posted 23 June, 2017 I would love to know why Tuchel is no longer interested? Keep hearing it was a long way down the line and then all of a sudden he's pulled away. Maybe he wanted his own coaching team or wants a say in bringing players in? My bet is he would only commit to 2 years and not 3 as Reed said the next appointment needs to be long term committed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaching team, or say in the running of things might have been a sticking point, but I can't see the contract situation being so black and white. Sign for 3, we won't let you enter the last year winding it down so you'll only do 2 anyway. Unless he wanted a 2 year deal to p!ss off after one.

Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 23 June, 2017 Share Posted 23 June, 2017 And lost 0-6 at home to them. We might just as well have kept Puel. Their teams scored the same number of goals last season and both struggled to score any at home but Pellegrino's finished 9th whereas Puel's finished 8th. Puel's overall career record is much better though. Exactly. The whole thing looks like a sideways step. There was clearly never a replacement lined up prior to Puel's dismissal. This has been handled in the same way as the Fonte saga, with Caceres coming in at the last minute. Further evidence that Les Reed hasn't got a ****ing clue what he's doing. I didn't like Puel but was happy to be proved wrong. Sadly, he did nothing that made me change my mind about him. However, I have even less respect for Les Reed and his constant gambling. The problem with gambling is that you win some and you lose some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 23 June, 2017 Share Posted 23 June, 2017 Ok, so a few things I've heard... FdB and MaPe have both been spoken to, along with a couple of German managers and a British coach (I'm afraid I don't know precisely who that was). MaPe is currently the firm favourite, unless we get surprising news from one of the Germans (but we don't expect to). E. Tuchel, and ??? Any idea who the other one was ?

nta786 Posted 23 June, 2017 Share Posted 23 June, 2017 I would absolutely find it hilarious if say we get Pellegrino, and then when Arsenal or another big club look to find a new manager, poach Pellegrino off us and reject Tuchel on basis that he has no Prem experience! Think Tuchel just wants another top 4/CL club given that Dortmund was his last club he managed. PS it doesn't mean I want all successful managers to leave, just realistic in that we are a stepping stone club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verlaine1979 Posted 23 June, 2017 Share Posted 23 June, 2017 Nagelsman Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk The appeal of managing an also-ran club in the PL really seems overstated with some of the names being bandied about. Nagelsmann's stock is so high he's probably only one further good league season + a pop at the early stages of the CL away from being offered a chance at a top ten European club.
