Not one single name on this thread fills me with joy. Perhaps that is why Tony Bloom is clinging on to the hope that Sami can turn things round??

NO not another BIN DIPPER
Father Christmas.
What was the name of that French chap that we apparently interviewed? Wonder if he could be worth another look. Mind you, he failed to outshine Sami Hyypia in the interview process, that's can't be a good sign.

Glenn Hoddle for me.
Pulis-Never going to happen
Sherwood-Reportedly turned down Premiership interest from West Brom
I'd go for Steve Clarke.
Fred Hantz
He is still available as he took the decision to have a break when he missed out on our job.
He mentions both in this interview with French paper (excuse google translate).

"The football coach Frederic Hantz was yesterday on his land Aveyron Onet after celebrating his 20th wedding anniversary a few hours earlier. Smiling, relaxed, available, he reversed his four years at the head of the team of Bastia he led National L1.
You have surprised many people when you signed for Bastia then National. You said never want to manage a club with a strong history?
Yes, because I was afraid and I still fear the constant reminder with the exploits of the past. When I arrived in Bastia, the club was far from National comparisons with its glorious history. I knew the L2 and L1 to be trained and I had to follow a National Rodez season. I knew where I was getting into and commen t quickly get results. My leaders have trusted me. I have worked with them. We went back in L1 in continuity.
And you have taken the decision to leave Bastia?
Yes, it was hard and I'm going to mourn. I have always worked with the emotional with my clubs, my players, my staff. I work giving a lot even with this new generation of footballers that are said individualists. If you take the time to address them with a message that they understand, they can blend into a collective. It's an investment that I do not want to overlook, but that involves a mad energy. Today, I need a break as Gillot (eg Bordeaux) or Guard (ex Lyon). I feel this need to log off to recharge the batteries. I will go abroad to follow the games, see workouts, project myself into the future.
One can imagine Frédéric Hantz finding work during the winter transfer window?
No, because it is 9 times out of 10 a complex situation. I experienced this in Le Havre. This does not captivates me.
While looking for a TV channel?
Story to follow the matches, preparing a pointed manner before taking the antenna, the challenge is interesting because it has an equivalent technical approach to that developed before a meeting.
What can we regain the championship you?
I almost from Brighton, England there a few days but I was beaten in the final by Samy Hypia. Reims knocked on my door. I went to Champagne, this does not happen. I would like to coach in England. This country, its way of living football captivate me. I have also been in training at Everton with David Moyses when I prepared my coaching diploma.
And France?
I want to stay in L1. It's not pretentious. I have 48 years experience, I wish to use it for high-level challenges. I know what I want to do.
What do you think of L1 championship?
There are 5 formations above the other, PSG, Monaco, Lille, Marseille and Saint-Etienne, others fight for the remaining places.
Your successor in Bastia, Claude Makelele begins on coach bench. What do you think?
I wish him the best as well as Bastia club that will remain in my heart. I would have been funny if I had signed at Reims, to find myself playing against Bastia ... Going back to Claude Makelele, I will not comment on his work nor his team, because I would like to not that we do that to me.
What will you do the next day?
I relax in Aveyron, enjoy nature. I intend also to enjoy Corsica this summer, go for a walk in the Island, enjoy its beauty, so many things that I could do during my four years at Bastia. Then, in January, I will launch myself to other football adventures in England in the USA or elsewhere.
You give the kickoff of the final of the U-13 tournament Onet?
Yes, I am proud and I admire the work of volunteers involved in this event.
