Ali Gold said Fonseca was on Hitchen AND Paratici's lists.

Cant remember for sure but something like

Paratici list was something like Conte, Gattuso, Spaletti, Fonseca

Hitchen list was Poch, Ten Hag, Flick, Rangnick & Fonseca

Can we have Hitchen back?

Must admit I thought the club statement that flashed up on the app this afternoon was Conte resigning!

Nuno? Santini, Sherwood.......
Nuno I will give you.

Santini was a big name in football at the time, after winning the league with Lyon and Confederations cup with France, in fact, at the time, Frank Arnesen wanted to appoint Jol as manager but Levy didn't think he was a big enough name, so they brought in Jol as assistant and Santini as manager.

Sherwood was just interim manager.

I really want Conte to stay and get the exact players he wants in the summer. I really believe with the right players his system would flourish. We've seen glimpses of how good the system is we just don't have the right quality of players in the most important positions for it to work consistently.

I just know it won't happen though with Levy in charge. It just won't. I can't even get excited for a new manager if it were to happen because there's no plan. It will be 2021 all over again with us interviewing 20 odd managers with all different styles.

It would be a shambles all over again.

Transfers windows would be the same, lots of early links to the exact player we need to only get a cut down price version a month later.

Don't think we can ever take the footballing side seriously until Levy steps aside.

How is that still a view when we all have seen how awful Perisic is lol

Perisic hasn't lived up to anyone's expectations for sure.

But he was a low risk good option at the time being a free transfer so the arguement is kind of pointless. At his age he was always going to be hit or miss especially adapting to a new league.

Bit desperate trying to beat Conte with that stick when he was on a free and in his mid 30s.

How is that a bit desperate to beat Conte when someone like him is exactly the type of players Conte loves to sign and backing him would mean more signings like Perisic?

It's doesn't mean more 35 year old free transfers does it? He wanted Perisic because he had him at inter and he was brilliant for them. His age and the fact he hasn't adapted well to a new league is just how transfers sometimes work out.

I'm talking more about players like Bastoni, a young left sided centre back Conte has wanted since he arrived. Or Zaniolo he's wanted for 2 windows.

I saw it mentioned in here somewhere, about us doing what Arsenal have done and getting a Spurs ex player as DOF to work with a Spurs theory Manager.

The only manager that would fall under that, currently, is Poch. And he doesn’t even like DOF’s by some accounts.

But it got me thinking about potential ex players that could do the DOF side. And, there really is a lack of options. In fact, I’m pushed to find one, other than Klinsmann, but his specialities lie elsewhere within the football system. We really haven’t got anyone, until Modric retires and sources us all the best players in the world.

Other possibilities:
King - nope
Carrick - potential for manager
Berbatov - not interested
Keane - nope
Jenas - nope
Daws - nope
Davids - no idea
Krancjar - no idea, but his dad was a manager

They’re the more recent ones, if you go back further, it gets even worse.

Sheringham
Ginola
Ferdinand
Anderton

Gazza 😳

Makes you(me) wonder why we haven’t had a lot of success, when it appears (from that list alone) that we haven’t ever really had any kind of serious football leadership on the pitch. That may be harsh, but to me, it kind of tells a story.

Scott Parker was a leader but not really setting the world alight as a manager.

I have this feeling Jan Vertonghen and Hojbjerg are going to be very good coaches.

We need a DoF with global knowledge and contacts. Someone like Rangnick has that. Our ex pros do not.
