    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    In fairness, Forest have won the biggest European competition twice (not that long ago really - relative to our last European trophy). They have also won the top league more recently than us, although I realise we should discount everything prior to the PL. Just saying.

    Exactly. This mentality is fucking insane. How far would folk take it? As in, I hope we get relegated all the way down to the national league as it means we will get a new manager. My fucking hairy arse. Again.

    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    This is something that gets overlooked imo. Everyone credits him as being great on the business and commercials, but look at how much he has pissed away on compensation and/or holding onto players too long. Edit. My favourite recent deal of his is the swap we do with Seville (Lamela for Gil...

    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    The only thing that would cause him to pause for thought is if everyone returned their STs, cancelled memberships, did not buy any tickets or merchandise and left the stadium/allocation empty home and away. None of that will happen. He will only move on when it suits him.

    Aye. Love H. Fuck knows where we would be without him but making him player manager is peak SC. Fuck it. Let’s do it and appoint his bro as DoF too.

    That would definitely be worth exploring if we have been aware of him since Sassuolo and Shakhtar. Imagine we have not though, and it is entirely based on a few games at Brighton. He has also won a couple of trophies already, which makes him totally unsuited to us.

    Lol. Levy: "What are your ideas on playing style Sol?" Sol: "I am Sol Campbell". Levy: "Ok. I do worry you may lack the requisite experience Sol" Sol: "But I am Sol Campbell". Etc

    Agree, but feels different this time. Kane is genuinely irreplaceable. Also have several clubs who are already close to us as things are. We would either need to find another 20 goal a season forward, and a way of compensating for what he gives us as a 10 and a 9, or find more than one forward...

    Eriksen was signed under AVB. One of the gazillion we brought in with the Bale windfall, and arguably the one outstanding success. I know, Lamela and maybe Chadli too up to a point. If we were that club, as in the one who hoovered up the best young talent, sold some on, and used the proceeds to...

    FFS. What has he done? Insist on having GB news on in the gym and changing room? Assume another interim appointment incoming then. This club man.

    That would be epic for the lols. Poch back in charge. His first CL game against Bayern at the THS. 2:7 again. That would be peak Spurs. Anything else would just be meh. And I love Poch.

    It’s in my op. Cba to continue really mate. Circular convos. We will be doing the same thing in a few months when the next chump fails to meet expectations.

    These convos are pretty much copy and paste (just sub Poch or any predecessor for Conte). Ah. Fuck it man. Whatever. We’ll all still be here when the next game comes around.

    Hugo has been a problem for several years now. You think Argentina win the wc without Messi? Or was it down to Romero? Answer the question posed re: Richarlison. Please.

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    But. He was playing with Messi. I mean. You’ve got a chance haven’t you? Ditto Hugo. Find it a stretch to say France won the wc because of him. We picked up Brazil’s number 9 from a team that almost got relegated. How do you think we would get on with him playing instead of Kane? I could go on...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    Yes. I’d love to know where folk think we should be. Top? 2nd? 3rd? We have a wc forward. The rest of the squad is top 6 at best. Massively overachieved last year as we were nowhere near CL levels. I don’t want to hear about style of play in response to this. Just tell me where you think we...

    We’re 4th. With 2/3 of the season gone. That is the only relevant fact. What’s your point?

    If that was the interpretation, he would say as much imo. Kane’s situ is hardly sensitive or confidential. Means Weds night (The Italian Job) as someone else has already posted. Again imo.
