[Football] Close season manager merry go round.

[Pavilionaire]

This Ancelotti to Real news is beautiful. So the pecking order of jobs is:

Spurs, Everton, Wolves, Celtic, then Palace.

I fancy Spurs will either get Poch or Conte, but all of the Palace candidates like Dyche, Howe, Lampard will surely be tempted by the other jobs. Long may the uncertainty continue.

Howe's go-to comfort zone is clearly the South Coast. Can't see him straying much further afield for his next role. Smalltown boy. Doubtless hoping to be re-hired by Bournemouth yet again. Southampton or Portsmouth at a pinch

Do you think little Ted would go as far as Swindon ? or does he get a nose bleed north of the M4 ?

Crystal Palace opened talks with former Wolverhampton boss Santo.

Presumably in the same way I've been liking Kelly Brook's Instagram posts for a while in the hope of it developing

 

[Albion my Albion]

Chris Hughton to Palace!!!

Amusingly, I saw stuff on Twitter the other day from Palace fans where they were pooh-poohing a couple of candidates because of their perceived old fashioned style of football, but in the same breath advocating Nuno Espirito Santo (whose Wolves side were up there with Palace as the dullest side to watch for much of last season) or Valerien Ismael.

Clearly they didn't watch ANY Championship football last season. I saw Barnsley in the play off matches, and blimey are they a throwback. I haven't seen a Championship team so direct in years. It was like John Beck's Cambridge at times.

Did it take him that long to stop laughing? Interesting if he takes it, what can they have offered him? He left Wolves for them

I read somewhere recently (possibly the guardian?) that leaving Wolves wasn't his choice. A quick google brings up this article behind a paywall from the athletic: https://theathletic.co.uk/2604488/2021/05/22/wolves-nuno-departure-premier-league/ and this one from the times https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/former-benfica-manager-in-frame-as-wolves-sack-nuno-6zw77ft9n (also behind a paywall).

So joining palace will be a 'I need a job, I have a faberge egg addiction to pay for' type-thing rather than a 'I'm leaving my current job so I can take this one' kind of type-thing.

He won't like it there. Wolves get new stands built.

 

[lawros left foot]

If Santo does go to Palace, will he get a sweetheart deal with Mendes.?

Or does that only apply to Wolves?

Will he be able to manage without first pick of all the best Portuguese talent?

Does he know how to sign non Portuguese players?

 

[Mr Bridger]

Crystal Portugal, got a ring to it.

Ah I was going to say it's better than being on the dole but let's be fair...it isn't....

Nuno is in the frame for Everton as well so this could run a few more days yet.

Why on earth would you do that ?

 

[Lower West Stander]

Why on earth would you do that ?

Smug Eddie to Fulham?

 

[Icy Gull]

Why on earth would you do that ?

About to type the same

 

[Stat Brother]

Why on earth would you do that ?

It just goes to show the lengths some managers are prepared to go in order to not be linked with palace.
