You can guess i lost 310GB of data - mostly music but all the pictures of my Mrs so thats not helped much.

Just pressed reply and your post is full of red because of spelling mistakes . In a nutshell next manager is going to be Ian Holloway, Roman has joined a kibbutz in Israel, Conte has replaced Griezmann as the new face of head and shoulders and Marina is staying in Russia as she's going to represent them in next year's Eurovision.

I just can't shake the fact that if he's a quality coach he wouldn't have been out of work for so long. You would think his door would have been beaten down after he let PSG. I don't know. Maybe he just refused everything until a top club came calling.

I also don't remember people being surprised or up in arms when he was sacked which tells me he maxed out his effectiveness.

 

Which top jobs were really available? We already had Conte, likewise Bayern Carlo and Pep City, Jose to United was already done by all accounts. Aside from Barca, no top club have had an opening since he left Paris, if he left them a year earlier things might have worked different for him.

I'm always a bit bewildered that some posters if we went for a geezer who was managing in Iceland would know who he was and what type of football he plays. I'm prepared to give Blanc a chance because I know nothing about him as a manager as I don't follow any other football apart from Chelsea and England although interest is on the wane with that lot.

I actually think for the first time in ages things are looking good as far as England are concerned. We are starting to smash it at youth level with players like Mount, CHO, Sancho coming through and as much as Southgate initially underwhelmed me, he is picking on merit and utilizing systems to suit his players, the first manager of such to do so since Robson.

After 2014 i was resigned to never seeing England win anything in my lifetime, and while i still wouldn't hold my breath on it, i see some flicker of hope now.

Does that mean Conte's going to do the fortnite dance when his team score now?

If we are really in for Blanc what's the hold up blanc is not attached to a club or maybe it's a Smokescreen and that we are getting sarri ?

Nothing to apologise for it just made ne laugh. This isn't the Shed End forum where some old biddy ex schoolteacher pulls up everyone on spelling and grammar it's so painfully middle class.

I agree with you on the geezer part. Made me chuckle too.

He did reject a lot of clubs, especially in La Liga tbf. Also, he was favourite to take over from LvG after his last season at United, until we sacked Mourinho.

 

I have only watched UCL games from his time and read complex tactical articles (mostly cause I'm a tactical nerd). I remember he took PSG to the next level, for sure. When we faced PSG, it always felt like we are the underdogs instead, although we had a much greater squad strength. He also introduced Rabiot and Marquinhos, who are now key players for them. 

 

He doesn't come out as a revolutionary like Sarri, but he has exactly the same CV (maybe even better) as Conte, when the Italian joined us. 3 consecutive league titles in a league where it seemed like it was a one horse race. Not very good performances in Europe. Although he does have an edge in Knockout competitions over Conte in his UCL achievements and domestic cups. Also, his season at Bordeaux where he won the title quite astonishingly and went unbeaten with them in a group which had Juve and Bayern Munich in UCL.

 

I'm not saying this cause he's linked to us. If we went on to get Sarri, even then I'd rate Blanc, wherever he goes.

In a nutshell:

Everyone is so on edge that every piece of twitter this or that is brought up, analyzed, then debated.  Cabin fever has taken hold.  Lack of news is leading to in-fighting.  

Conte is still our manager.

I'm living in Paris and looked every psg game and trust me Blanc is shit.
When he was there, he gives all the power to the big guys who fall into comfort and lack of intensity. And I thinks that why DL want him, to win back his influence in the team.

He's a very inmaginative manager who wants to do Pep philosphy but understands nothing about it.
When journalist asked him "what your philosophy, he answered: my philosophy is possession" Or guy like Pep, Sarri Smapaoli always say possession is a mean not the end.

For example he used to put Cavani as left winrger, and of course the guy was bad because he wanted him to play like Leroy Sane...

And when Motta or Verratti was injured, the team used to lose control of the ball because the way the team play was based on individual quality and not strong pattern.
