Looks like Lucien Favre is the new Crystal Palace manager. 

interesting. he is like the polar opposite of hodgson in terms of game philosophy.

Aaaaaand Favre has pulled out of the job...

Spurs, Palace and Everton are really taking ages to find a new manager.

Nuno 🤣

Jesus if Wolves over the last 18 months are anything to go by Spurs are going to be utter dogshit. 

Nuno not at the level for a team like Spurs. They’re going to have to appoint a Hasenhuttl or Nuno or somebody of this ilk though, because they’ve somehow missed out on every half decent manager available.

What is Spur’s insistence on developing young players re a manager just now? I mean their academy theres a handful of guys who are decent probably but you need to have a good environment and good senior/more experienced players around them which arguably bar Son, Kane, Alderwereild, Lloris maybe they don’t have. 

I mean if Daniel Levy is expecting Spurs to be going places, developing guys like Joe Rodon, Oliver Skipp, Japhet Tanganga, Ryan Sessegnon, Jack Clarke etc, they will undoubtedly also have to get rid of some of the shite/average/questionable more senior players like Dele Alli, Erik Lamela, Eric Dier, Harry Winks, Matt Doherty, Ben Davies, Davinson Sanchez. Or they wont get anywhere. 

Nuno’s record with developing players is also questionable. I mean does he really develop all these players so much or are they not just good players that they buy through the link to Jorge Mendes? For example Ruben Neves, Diogo Jota, Pedro Neto, Rui Patricio, Joao Moutinho… they were all definitely good/decent players. Morgan Gibbs-White was a big thing from their academy, played a lot first season in the PL then rarely featured after. Maybe he can be credited with Jota, Pedro Neto and Traore’s improvements more but he’s bought well more than anything (if he buys the players that is).
