[theonesmith]

My main concern was the language barrier with non-Spanish speakers, but his English is pretty good

GET HIM IN ASAP

Perfect for us

 

[Hornblower]

Big yes from me.

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

He resigned yesterday citing "personal reasons"

Has a 75% win ratio in his first season with one of the top Israeli sides, Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Looks like he is on his way to England, but where in England? He would certainly fit the bill!

It's the resignation coupled with the story that makes it sounds like he could be the man

 

[nwgull]

The most promising of the realistic suggestions so far. Yes from me.

 

[Bra]

like the sound of this one. so the texts indicate he is on the radar? not being great with spanish.. ie none!

Óscar García Junyent

And he didn't rattle on about the Chelsea/Leeds/spurs jobs,good use of the "for sure"phrase and a nice little "ththth" lisp.

 

[Nathan]

Are any of the bookies offering odds on him to be next manager?

 

[TimWatt]

Adding one and two to make five - all seeming to fit into place....

 

[skipper734]

That'll do nicely!

Use Calde in a Oatway style role?

 

[Daffy Duck]

Blimey, some people on here had 2 years to try and spell Vicente correctly. Couldn't begin to imagine how they'd cope with this guy's name.

Must say, though, think he could do a job.

 

[SeagullSongs]

out of interest as you raised it - scrunch or fold?

Scrunching is for 8 year olds. So inefficient.

 

[Stato]

We're not the only one's rumoured:

[glasfryn]

I don't like saying it but thats right

 

[backson]

No not yet I keep checking

He's just popped at 10s with Stan James

 

[Eggman]

Re: Óscar García Junyent

Yep. This is the sort of chap that will get the job.

 

[brightonmark1234]

why we being linked with managers when Gus hasn't gone yet

 

[Foolg]

StanJames.

Just asked them using the online chat, and within 5 minutes they'd added him to the market @10/1. Was hoping for a bit more, but either way had a fiver on it.

Fits the mould perfectly, and Bloom isn't afraid to take a gamble. Resigns from his job, Spanish, speaks English. I'd say he's far better value than the others in the market given that somebody fairly well connected in Spanish football has suggested it.
