You've got your ear to the ground then ?
Beat me to it!

Wenger is the dream for me. Tidy, smart, attacking, fast football. Anyone who wouldn't take Wenger in a heartbeat is mad IMO.
And if he could bring Aubameyang and Ramsey with him we're laughing.
They have to be famous, foreign and expensive, or I'm going to be very disappointed.
Steve Holland
Rudd Gullit?After Roland Bergkamp, Fat Kemy, Locadia and Ali J I don't want anything Dutch.
Jose Bordalas.Has anyone mentioned the Getafe manager yet? Got them promoted a few seasons ago, and are now on the verge of Champions League football. Sounds like something out of Football Manager. Get him in!
Jose Bordalas.
I suggested him a few weeks ago in one of the many "If CH goes, who do you want" threads.

The Getafe defender means it figuratively of course, but another says: “You sometimes wonder if he’s going to hit you.”
That player recalls Bordalás’s assistant chasing a team-mate around the training pitch, saying things, trying to wind him up. Before a game, a long time ago now, Bordalás made another hold a pencil between his nose and top lip, and cross his eyes. Now stay like that, he told him. He wanted them to go on the pitch wearing a “crazy face” to “terrify opponents”. Defenders were told to grab strikers, fight them. Every ball is a battle. “You spend the week building to the game, all week. And every game it’s like you’re playing for your life; if you don’t win it’s an absolute disaster,” Cala says.

With Ashworth in place it’s pretty obvious it will be Potter and I’m delighted
It creates a clear over-arching philosophy and that is what success is built upon.
Moaning about a 10th Championship finish is ridiculous considering the constraints he was under, and how he did most of it with kids and budget buys.
I’ve followed his career for a while due to him being an Englishman managing in Sweden and what he did with Östersunds was nothing short of a miracle. Swans fans are gutted he could be leaving as they firmly believe with backing from the board he could get them up. He also gave them their sense of footballing identity back too.
Delighted if it happens.
Eddie Howe is down from 40-1 to 8-1 in the last hour and a half. Must be a good move for the lad, small wee Dorset (or somewhere down there) provincial team to mega Sussex outfit...........

But probably not their budget or wage bill.
