    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Excellent post, this is exactly how I see it.

    Next Manager?

    Slightly more pessimistic today than in the last week or so. But ultimately I cannot see Levy not getting what he wants. He knows Poch, he knows what he has to do to make him come back, he knows how this (and only this) appointment will go a long way towards healing his relationship with...

    Transfer rumours - summer 2021 edition

    Strong rumours here that Onana, the Ajax goalkeeper, is off to Arsenal. He's still suspended for a few months because of a failed drug test, but he's a much better goalie than Leno and a shrewd buy for a really low sum (under 6m).

    Good lad, Andros, very eloquent. The final minute of the clip says it all really. Levy will do everything in his power to get Poch to come home, and I would never bet against Levy getting what he wants. Sitting on my porcelain throne using glory-glory.co.uk mobile app

    Next Manager?

    Ten Hag is staying at Ajax. He has unequivocally stated this several times in the last few weeks, and he's the kind of man whose word means something. Also, the rumour mill in the Netherlands, always very focused on Ajax, is completely silent - still essentially the same press that reported the...

    Next Manager?

    In the Kane thread, everyone is suddenly believing that he will stay. And now here, the Poch rumours are picking up pace. I so wish that both turn out to be true, but I suppose it could also be seen as a sign of collective delusion after a bitterly disappointing season.

    He had a so-so season, as did the club. I think we are looking for a little more proven quality.

    It's not Ten Hag, he is staying at Ajax.

    Yes, agree. Everything starts with the manager.

    Next Manager?

    Yes, I agree, although I would probably keep both Dele and Bale if I could. Both could at the very least be the understudy for the running CM I would be looking for, although ideally both would be employed further forward. It's just that I think we won't be able to sell all those players. Foyth...

    Next Manager?

    Ok, so that's three at the back in your view, Toby and Rodon + 70m? With attacking wingbacks and a three-man core in midfield. That makes sense. But I think who/what we can get depends on who we can sell. If we could sell Tanguy for around 50m, I would use all that money to buy the play/assist...

    Next Manager?

    Exactly. Leave the fullbacks for now (Reguilon will come good, Sess will be good cover, and let's hope Tanganga can play more games), it's 2 CBs and 1 CM that we need. The CBs need to be good defenders (duh) of the Dawson/Vertonghen type. The CM has to be a classic box-to-box CM, because we've...

    Next Manager?

    Yes, and if the two in DM are beastly (Dembele/Wanyama-like) while at least one of the three is willing to run to cover some of the gaps and shield the two - like Eriksen and Dele did. We may have the fullbacks (Reguilon and Tanganga/Doherty), but our CM/DM-options are not particularly beastly...

    The problem with that tweet, of course, is that Gold also doesn't know. If we were to take his info at face value, and I agree with Adam B's exegesis here, my best guess would be Conte. I'm not sure if that would be a good outcome to be perfectly honest, but he (Conte) would be in a position to...

    Ancelotti?

    Next Manager?

    I am more and more inclined to believe it is someone from abroad. Levy is sensitive to big names, and it could be argued that we need one now more than ever to confirm that we are (still?) a Big Club.
  17. Hotspur75

    Next Manager?

    Judging from his comments in the Dutch press - which are very similar to those of Rodgers if not more categorical - it's not Ten Hag. If Gold is correct, and the designated man has a 'current club', that narrows down the list (no Martinez, no Flick). If it's likely to cost a lot, it's unlikely...

    The Fight to Qualify for the European Conference League 2020/21

    They've already decided on it: https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/0268-12157d69ce2d-9f011c70f6fa-1000--new-champions-league-format-explained/ But P. D. is right. You have to qualify at least for ECL to 'earn' one of the two coefficient spots. If this scenario would have been in place...

    The Fight to Qualify for the European Conference League 2020/21

    It's going to add another schizophrenic dimension to the latter stages of the season: today, Arse v. Brighton for some time appeared more important than our own game at Leicester - I was convinced we were going to lose anyway. But come April 2024, we will be rooting for, say, Roma to beat...

    The Fight to Qualify for the European Conference League 2020/21

    If the same rules would apply this year, Arsenal and Roma would get into the CL, regardless of where they finished in PL/Serie A, unless Juve miss out on 4th place (then Roma would not 'qualify'). We are currently the third/fourth team in the coefficient-list not to qualify for the CL. So we...
