No but always thought Dele looked like a 35 year old lesbian. Don't know why! Probably just me.
That comment on Poch just reminded me.

That comment on Poch just reminded me.
I see rumors of a Poch sacking and come to my favorite football forum to discuss only to see this place descending into talk about lesbians.
It would be hilarious if Conte ran off the first chance he gets, and Poch goes crawling back. Talk about a lack of ambition.
Contes record in Europe is abysmal. He would be a surprise choice.
Zidane is first choice
Not sure why Real would swap Ancelotti for Poch?
I don't see why Real would be even remotely inspired to hire Poch, fair fecks to him if he manages to get that job, it won't end well.
Conte to PSG will be a disaster waiting to happen for both parties. Can't imagine Conte dealing with Neymar and Messi. PSG will implode faster than light.
Conte in PSG would be Tuchel on steroids in terms of relations with management. Their owners are equally inept as ours.
Conte's ridiculously terrible European record would also make him a bizarre choice for PSG, who only care about winning the CL.
Had he won the Ligue 1 in style he might actually have survived. But they didn't, they had to be bailed out by individual quality in far too many games.
So Conte whores himself out to PSG and Pochettino comes back to Spurs to put the record straight, and by that I mean flounder around the top 6 until him of Levy decide to show some ambition
Poch will never repeat the "highs" he achieved the first time at Spurs, it would be a ridiculous decision.
Always thought PSG were gonna go for Zidane?
What's the latest on Zidane? Is he linked to any job or just not interested getting back into management?
Imho Conte will be a terrible fit for PSG given his poor record in Europe and his "my way or the high way" approach which will miserably fail at PSG due to the sheer abundance of player power in the club. You can bet that he'll fall out with one of the big stars pretty soon.
Also, his confrontational nature will cause friction with the board members of PSG who aren't really good at their job and recruit like they are assembling a FIFA video game team.
This is a marriage made in hell. Does anyone actually believe it's a sensible decision for both parties?
BTW, I can genuinely see Newcastle going for Poch as their long term manager.

Good shout.
Would be harsh on what's his face who they've currently got, but yeah I could see this. It would be a smart logical step for them both, much better for him than going back to Spurs.
PSG should just snap up Zidane. Makes way too much sense
Sounds like he never really fancied being there long-term himself?
Are these reports reliable @JPRouve?
Has Gary Neville spoken about the possibility of retroactively hiring Poch?
Bit of a side note, but what an arrogant twat Leonardo is.
Poch's style from 2016 to 2018 was very good. Not sure what happened.
In summer 2018 he needed 3-4 new players. Levy didnt even let him sign 1. Ironically Spurs have wasted a fair few quid since. If only they had been braver in summer 2018. The way it ended at Spurs seems to have broke him.

That’s crazy. Don’t they know he made Real Madrid look like a pub team?
That was nice.
But he made cannon fodder in Ligue 1 look like Real Madrid, that's an issue.
Conte at PSG could potentially work but there's also a chance he might spontaneously combust trying to get them to press.
Le Parisien have not been reliable in the last year but in the past they were, so I don't really know.
People seem to think him wanting to go back to Spurs would be a surprise? He’s said before he feels like he has unfinished business there so absolutely wouldn’t surprise me to see him go back. Especially if Conte wants out this summer
The only reason this is coming out now is because of the ETH appointment. I think PSG would have much preferred that United go for Poch so they don't have to pay him a severance package. As far as a potential Conte appointment, I really don't care about his CL record to be honest, I just want to see some fireworks and chaos at this point.
Zidane is just not going to happen because of the whole Marseille link and mainly he wants the NT which could very likely be his to manage after this world cup.

Will he at least get a leaving/goodbye interview? 
If I was Poch I'd probably rather pocket the PSG severance package and wait a couple of months to see if I can't land the Real, Chelsea or Man Utd job.
I know our board is inept as all hell but, ETH getting the sack before he’s even set foot in Manchester?
I didn't say that?
United dodged a bullet getting ETH instead of him.
You said wait a couple of months to see if he can land the Man Utd job? Pretty hard to do that unless ETH is sacked within a couple of months
Was always quite a workman like brand of football.
If it turns out that Ten Hag's tactics are too ambitious for United's squad or that his charisma really resembles a defrosted Frikandel, then things could begin to spiral relatively quickly.
Come on man, don't hate on one of the two nice things Dutch cuisine gave us (Vla being the other one)
