Next manager discussion (poll reset 21/05/2016)

[The Mighty Quint]

Pochettino was in a very similar situation to Emery, in that he did speak conversational english (as does Emery) but not enough to do press conferences, so used a translator for them

And the word was he milked that so he didn't have to do interviews, the players said there was no problem with his English or understanding him in training.

No mate. My man Mole is on a plane as we speak off to Spain to head negotiation with Emery's people with a hope to getting it done

nice one!

From offside.com. No idea if reliable but it's interesting that the only competition, for his signature, that they mention is Everton.

"Reports indicate that Milan are interested in hiring Sevilla coach Unai Emery to be Milan's next manager. Milan were linked with a move for Emery last summer before ultimately opting to hire Sinisa Mihajlovic instead. The Chinese investors who are currently negotiating to buy the club are keen on installing the Spaniard as manager for next season, replacing interim boss Cristian Brocchi. Emery has enjoyed a stellar managerial career thus far, impressing first at Valencia and now at Sevilla, who have won the Europa League on three consecutive occasions under his watch.

Silvio Berlusconi is said to be keen on retaining Brocchi, despite the former Primavera coach enduring a less-than-successful stint in the dugout. The Chinese, however, reportedly favour the more experienced Emery, and feel that he would be the perfect man to lead the club forward. It's difficult to argue otherwise, especially with investment coming into the club. Milan will reportedly face competition from Everton, who want him to replace Roberto Martinez. Milan are also considering a move for Marco Giampaolo, who announced his intention to leave Empoli this summer in search of a bigger job."

still think pretending to be ITK is weirdest thing ever...

People who pretend to be itk also have pretend girlfriends.

On 12 April 2016, he was appointed the head coach of Milan for his first senior managerial position, after previously serving as the coach of the A.C. Milan Primavera, replacing Siniša Mihajlović after his sacking.[12]

HOLY MOLY

Does the mole know him too?!

 

[degsy]

I've just been told that we're speaking to Emery today, maybe tomorrow, could be Thursday, if not it will be Defoe Friday. Was also told from a good source he might become our manager, there is a chance he won't though, if not, we will definitely have a new manager by the start of the season, will keep you updated when my ITK senses tingle again.

If we remove quantum theory and the dual state of things from the equation, what you're saying is he will...or won't, with a side order of each way followed by a definite maybe...or maybe not.

Cristian Brocchi

Yes he replaced Mihajlovic in april - wires crossed I thought you were talking about Mihajlovic. Brocchi was just to finish the season out. New owners suspedly coming in so who knows. There has apparently been interest in Emery anyway.

I think people have to be realistic and keep the biased views to a minimum.

We view the premier league as the best in the world, but that doesn't mean foreign managers will.

Everton have a great history and are one of the most successful teams in England. But, will a foreign manager know this? Hand on heart, I know Seville has won the Europa League 3 times in a row because it's recent but I've no idea what other trophies they have won. So the likes of Simeone, Emery might not know of Everton due to lack of recent success.

Not sure he could name the 66 cup final team, but he's at least very aware of us as a club. He stated last season that he'd expected us to challenge strongly for the Europa league and was surprised Kiev put us out when they didi
