What a shame

I'm not surprised at all though. Spurs have money and stability which are two things we don't. We would have been a great option before the 2 wanks took over.

You should get used to the fact that we will never get a manager as good as Rafa.

oh come on ffs.

after some of the football we have endured over the last few years I really want an attacking manager and I hope we go for Frank Rikjaard.

Wasn't Harry loyal to West Ham, Portsmouth, Southampton & Portsmouth?

If he says he's staying loyal I'm deeply worried!

I would be ecstatic with Bilic, chuffed with Rijkaard. The only names to get excited about.

Bilic is BOSS

[Reece]

Genuine question Maxi - why would you be ecstatic if we got Bilic?

[Lecter]

That's even more intriguing. Do you have any info on whether that mean Dalglish:
Had concluded Rafa needed to go and whether he was behind any decision last year to limit funds for Rafa?
Is on side with the hierarchy including owners?

I dont honestly know, I'm just passing on a couple of rumours that have done the rounds

Dont know how much creedence to put on any of it, but Tony Barratt hinted on his webchat last week that Purslow & Kenny were long standing friends

FFS. He's managed 5 club matches and couldn't get a pretty talented Croatian team into 2nd in their WC qualifying group.

Way too big a gamble.

Cos he smokes

Well I think we can all agree that is ****ing cool

The bookies think it's going to be Hodgson and I'd go along with that.

Steady the ship for a couple of years until we can get Mourinho...

Give it up man, give it up

Ok, we might get relagated and go bust, but it's probably worth it.

I'm going with my heart on this one, Reece. I do think football has been overcomplicated and it would be great to have someone in with a certain aura about them that players just listen to. I think he could communicate and get his point across man to man, face to face without the need for clipboards or translators or whatever. Start dealing with players at a much more humane level. The clubs never been about European style tactics and it would be great to get back to what made us so fearsome....football but with passion, heart and grit.

He's a bit of a risk because of his inexperience but if you want the safe option I guess you go with Roy Hodgson.
