Dusic Posted 10 June, 2017 Share Posted 10 June, 2017 Schmidt to Watford fell apart due to his wage demands...presumably knowing that he had a mega deal from China on the table. Could be similar with Palace and Saints if there had been any interest from either club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 10 June, 2017 Share Posted 10 June, 2017 Damn he was my choice, best be Tochel then otherwise it will be another of those "we took to long" moments. I like to think we've known what's going on with Claude for some time now and aren't dithering around in talking to other candidates. I'm guessing we'd like a takeover timed with new manager arriving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 10 June, 2017 Share Posted 10 June, 2017 He was spotted by our head of recruitment, Paul Mitchell, who'd been monitoring an Espanyol player and was impressed by the style of football Pochettino's team played. Most of our best players and managers were spotted by Mitchell. Since he left, we have been fairly rudderless in the transfer market. Les Reed is just a 'figurehead' and self publicist, who some posters on here seem to worship and credit for other people's work - people who have now either been fired by Reed or have left the Club of their own accord. Mitchell was a Reed appointment as I recall. Shame we can't entice him back, I don't know why but the same level of confidence doesn't seem to be generated from our dealings since Wilson has been at the club.Huddersfield don't appear to have been too disadvantaged by his departure from them either.

goneawol Posted 13 June, 2017 Share Posted 13 June, 2017 It is not yet clear where the journey is going after the holiday. His adviser Olaf Meinking said to the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntag Zeitung" that the future of the football teacher is completely open. Meinking: "After the holidays you will see how things develop." But "it can of course also be abroad". According to Meinking, for Tuchel, the charisma of a club, the stadium, the city, the coat of arms, the great coaches who were there, and the big players are important. Tuchel wants to know "what a club stands for". http://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/thomas-tuchel/entspannt-im-urlaub-52155208.bild.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamplemousse Posted 13 June, 2017 Share Posted 13 June, 2017 Les Reed has often spoken about making the next step to the Champions League.

supersonic Posted 14 June, 2017 Share Posted 14 June, 2017 Trying not to get carried away, but starting to think this might actually happen. Other clubs are appointing managers, his agent's comments and our known and reported targets filling positions. I guess we will know more next week when both TT and CP are back from holiday. Knowing my luck, we'll end up with another year of Puel or Allardyce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says the search for a new management team is underway, which is suitably vague. It suggests that they could have already started looking a while ago, as has been suggested by journalists, including Jeremy Wilson and, I believe, Simon Peach.

"The search for a new management team is underway. We are confident that we will find the right fit in line with the long term vision of the club" You are naive if you don't think club have been working on replacement since end of season review. It was an open secret Puel was a goner. Compensation negotiations and search for new manager are reasons for delay in announcing it.

IMO, if Emery became available he would be our first choice and we'd snap him up pretty quickly. Obviously at the moment he's not, so our first choice is someone else.
