He said more or less the same thing Naglesmann said to his Bayern players yesterday, but stopped short of criticizing the club.
Yes, but he is saying till the end of the season. We still have a shot at CL qualification. I can't see that happening with Mason in charge. Yes, he won 4 out of 6, but the 2 he lost were to Villa and Leeds.
I can't see it happening if Conte stays either. Conte has given up, he has accepted he has failed in his job. But somehow only the players are to be accountable for such a reaction. He's meant to be the leader. If they are all so selfish and complacent, why has he not changed the team around more? Even if it's a dreaded 'club signing' like Danjuma, you don't even give him a try? Are there youth players keen to make a break through that you could have tried? Or are they all lazy as well? Answer is he's stubborn as a mule and would rather let the team fail than try something different. He needs to think about his own future and reputation as well. He's done himself no favors at all.
German press are reporting our people have been in contact with Glasner's people. Whatever. If I was Kane the only way I'd stay is if ENIC signed over 10% of their shares to me.
It looks like Conte has gone and who should take over? It has to be a high profile name like Barcelona's coach who's interested by all accounts. Please NOT Poch
I'm not sure how one can consider the differences between Santini and Jol, between Ramos and Redknapp, between AVB/Sherwood and Pochettino, and say the manager doesn't matter.
We never knew what happened to Santini, he only lasted 13 games. Jol was great but was undermined by Damien Comolli and Levy. Ramos was not backed by Levy in the summer of 2009 - Keane and Berbatov were sold and replaced by Pavlyuchenko and Bent (and Frazier Campbell on loan). Redknapp got himself the sack by openly flirting with the England job and then trying to negotiate his contract in the media while Daniel Levy was attending a funeral, all this after Levy and the club supported him in his tax fraud case. AVB got us our highest point total at the time in the PL (72) and then watched helplessly as the Bale money was mostly wasted. Sherwood was just a stop-gap twat.
Santini was bewildered when Levy, without telling him, sold the-then team captain Stephen Carr to Newcastle. Then he installed Jol as co-manager, again without telling him. Tbh, the football under Santini was ass. I seem to recall a game where we had one shot on target (which is quite generous under Conté). If forcing Santini out by selling the team captain and installing a co-manager behind his back was what was required to get Martin 'Squirrels everywhere!' Jol in, then by gosh it was worth it.
Redknapp? You can't be serious. He would bring Lennon and Crouchie out of retirement. I can see his first half-time talk when we are 3-0 down at Everton: 'C'mon Aaron, effing leg it and the rest of you lump it up to Crouchie, bloody 'ell!'
He'd sign Krancjar and Defoe. 'These lads are triffic!' Then he'd make Bale play every single minute and complain when he got injured that he wouldn't play through the pain and was overly concerned with his Barnet.
TBF who wouldn’t throw their hat in the ring? Sign a two year contract, spend 6-18 months and get the remaining 6-18 months pay for sitting on the beach.
