Who's next after Benitez - Poll reset 25th Jan

[Daytripper]

I get that.

But he's not just playing a straight bat.

Agreed

The window closes a week today. Do you think that any new manager, even if announced today, would have sufficient time to get any players in? Seems a big ask to me but you may know better then I do

I know that deals are done on deadline day after a few hours negotiating in a panic. So a week gives any man who is about to be announced the time to get wheels in motion in a non-panicky way.

 

[davek]

Agreed

Now what do you make of this latest post, because it suggests to me something (for him unwanted) is afoot....or maybe I'm reading too much into it?

An appointment that is likely to split opinion (could be one of a few to be fair) and he’s setting a narrative down now about being 100% behind them before any confirmation.

I could be way off of course and have my delusion paranoid hat on.

As somebody said another name Diego Martinez should be the name on the list to look into. https://breakingthelines.com/manager-analysis/diego-martinez-the-messiah-of-granada/

For some reason there is little or no interest in him. I would have thought he would have been one of the first names on the list but sadly not.

Need two or three quality loans

I've got one of those as well mate, it's the one with the EFC badge on the front isn't it.

How many loans are we allowed now ? I guess we have El Ghazi.

Never thought about that. The PL website states the following:


- Premier League clubs may not register more than two players on loan at any one time.
- The maximum number of loans registrable in the same season is four, and, under no circumstances, shall more than one be from the same club at any one time.
- Premier League clubs cannot loan to another Premier League club a player they have acquired in the same transfer window.
- A Premier League club may loan not more than one of its goalkeepers to another Premier League club.

I don't know what you think about him, but pirlo would make me really happy, but as the days go by it seems less and less likely

True
We can’t buy any one until
The new manager has worked with the squad I assume. A CB and MF loan just to see us through the season?

Oh right

Oh right

Does that mean we're stuffed ?

He would be class. Very unfairly treated at Juventus.

It means it deffo needs to be a midfielder - preferable one that can defend ? There seems to be differing opinions on that.
