Interesting tidbit here:

I know I'm a hopeless optimistic but does this not read as "get your DoF sorted then we'll talk"?

It would be bizarre for JN to completely pull out of the running when there is still time to get DoF sorted and then a manager before preseason training starts

Knew it

Jacobs has been pretty reliable, no?

If this is the case, I'd personally rank them:

Slot
---little drop bc he might be a dickhead but he also stuck it to Woolwich---
De Zerbi
---big drop---
Alonso
---drop bc not sure if he's progressive enough---
Amorim
---drop bc he's uninspiring---
Frank

Spot on with this if this is the 5 as it stands!!!

I would love to be a fly on the wall when Levy calls JN after the leaks earlier in the week!

 

[Chris Flynn]

Was Conte bald?!

he got worse as a manager as his hair implants improved

 

[JayB]

The way we operate is nothing short of shambolic.

I think a lot of this is piling on, but you can’t help but feel like even the craziest of shit about the club is probably based in some fact. It’s Murphy’s Law day-in and day-out currently.

 

[Led Revolver]

Levy: “It sounds like the fans might be pushing some bad publicity our way at our last home game of the season. I think that we’ve been rumbled that we don‘t have many potential candidates interested in the job., I better phone the hacks and tell them to put out some articles pretending that we’ve got loads of options to choose from. Even Nagelsmann!”

 

[Guntz]

lol

That would be some turn around.

By the end of the week Brentford could have beat us in the final home game and Poch will be announced as the Chelsea manager.

Things could get ugly for Levy so he definitely needs good news from somewhere.

If I was Nagelsmann, I would tell him where to go though…

 

[BoringOldFan]

lol

Isn’t this a circular argument? Surely (and yes Daniel, I am calling you Shirley), a key question to ask any prospective DoF is “Who would you employ as our next manager?” If the answer is Nagelsmann, then recruiting one entails getting the other.

Obviously other key questions like what is your favourite colour, what is your quest and what is the the average flight speed of a swallow have to be asked, but it’s a question of priorities imo…

He's not reliable. I actually like the guy, but he just puts out tons of shit knowing some will stick.

"oh those leaks were a bit of a laugh Julian my old son. I'm a serious businessman didn't you know. Come and sit down and I'll tell that story about school I told Tanguy"

 

[Liamyid28]

Season ticket renewals must be slow let’s leak a story we could still get nagelsmann

 

[biscuit]

Have we had any ITK type updates on him? Amorim and Slot have been mentioned but I've heard nothing to suggest he's been linked apart from him and Munn obviously being of the same nationality.

Not sure as to the strength of the links, mate, but we have been linked in the past. Either way, he'd be a great appointment IMO.

 

[Ginola+Tonic]

Yes we’re not great behind the scenes, but the media reporting a new exclusive and new favourite every day is making things look a lot worse and the fans are buying into it.

Stop believing everything you read and it’s not half as bad.

The media know fuck all.

lol

In isolation I don't actually see this as a bad thing. We've all been crying out for Levy and the board to remove themselves from footballing decisions, and if they appointed a DOF/Sporting Director who was more qualified to make the managerial decision, then this is a good thing.

However, it is not in isolation. It's one thing to be needing to recruit a new manager but completely another to be recruiting the new manager at the same time as a new DOF, leaving a complete vacuum of anyone at the club who has the foggiest idea of how to manage the football operations and strategy. The warning signs were there that both Conte and Paratici would be leaving, and yet the board have reacted with complete astonishment and paralysis.

All we can hope is that they can finalise the new DOF quickly first, so that a qualified decision can be made as to who our new manager will be next season.

I doubt that would come through Matt Law he has been digging at Levy for a while.
