New manager

[Frenk]

They are going to think Southgate is some kind of catch aren’t they?

It would be equivalent of something you would catch in a back street in Amsterdam.

No, because it implies you've had fun there.

When was the last time Jose managed a club in the sort of state we are in? Has he ever?

2000 Benfica
2001–2002 União de Leiria
2002–2004 Porto
2004–2007 Chelsea
2008–2010 Inter Milan
2010–2013 Real Madrid
2013–2015 Chelsea
2016–2018 Manchester United
2019–2021 Tottenham Hotspur
2021–2024 Roma
2024– Fenerbahçe

If there was one manager who would get the old lady bouncing in it’s swan song. It would be Jose.

I think think this is an important point.

Although I'd be for Moyes, as an appropriate custodian for the remaining games at Goodison and possibly the first season at BM, I completely agree about Mourinho too. Although both would be relatively short termish I think "the Old Lady" needs a proper firey send off.

 

[Carlito]

In unrelated news, Mourinho has slammed the Turkish league as "toxic" and corrupt...

Looking for an out, Jose?

I would very much enjoy hearing him explain how the Premier League smells and nobody watches it.

 

[Drico]

Jose always loved Goodison. It’s now or never!

Don't tell him we're razing it to the ground then!

 

[Zezti]

I'm leaning Fonseca-wards.

Yes was just reading on him. He has won things and favours pressing and fast counter attacks

 

[billyblue80]

The one name that pops up now and again, that i would truelly give up on football, is Gareth Southgate...please god no

He would be horrific

Does like a possession game though. Judging by a lot of comments on here, i think that would make people cry.

In an interview for French media RMC about his Lille debut, Fonseca described his managerial style as "an offensive play in order to overcome the opponent, to settle in the opponent's half and to create many scoring chances."

Speaking in 2021, Fonseca mentioned three coaches which influenced his philosophy and style: ‘At this moment, I can highlight Maurizio Sarri and Pep Guardiola as the coaches I admire the most because they are bold, they have their own ideas, they are brave enough to play their own game and attack. Now, we can’t forget that José Mourinho has marked a generation of coaches in Portugal and marked Portuguese football. He completely changed the mindset of Portuguese coaches and he’s obviously been a great influence.’

Needs to be a mix I guess possession isn't bad if its done at tempo, I hate to use them as an example but the RS do this under Slot.

Would be all over Mou for teh lolz, but he’d be needing a much stronger January window than it looks like we can provide.

Mourinho would fire up the players. It’s amazing what can happen when a true great, which he is, appears…….

Pep Guardiola plays the most boring style of football imaginable. Its like anti-football, with a possession hogging, sideways, sideways, backwards, twist.
