Looking back on TB's managerial appointments. His first was Poyet, who had no previous record as a Manager. Next Garcia, with 1 year in management at Maccabi Tel Aviv Then Hyppia with 2 years at Leverkusen. Then Hughton with 4 and a half at 3 English clubs. Then Potter with 8 years total, 7...

Well played.

Could soon be the man picking the team. Bo selector.

"Speculate on go go" seems apt for his current situation.

Commensurate with their experience, unless it was a woman, in which case, less.

You said "Society needs to grow up first. We wouldn't need the circus." I took that to mean you think we should not appoint a woman at this point in time, apologies if that is not what you meant. When John Barnes was making a fuss about TB sacking Hughton, I thought it made Barnes look stupid...

We should be sexist about our choice of manager, to avoid potential accusations of sexism? It's a meritocracy, if there is someone out there that has all the attributes we are looking for and has proven their ability in a high standard professional league, they will be considered. There is only...

Maybe, depends on if you are just making a joke and it's clear it's a joke, or stating as if it were fact why a Greek, any Greek, would be a bad choice as our next Manager.

No offence intended.

I am an arse for assuming I know something about you, and that your culture and nationality play a part in that. Kind of the point I have been trying to make, glad you now see it.

Stereotypical casual racists response to being called out on it, can't blame you I suppose, its just your Gammony English culture.

I am not offended, I am disappointed. I am sure you are aware I was paraphrasing another poster, and that both comments about Italians and South Americans are racist. In the context of a joke, it isn't a big deal, but he wasn't making a joke or teasing a mate, he said he didn't think Tony Bloom...

You can have a joke with your mates, you all understand it is just a stereotype, and you don't really believe it. Saying you would not look at an Italian as manager of our football club because they are all as hotheaded as all South Americans is racial discrimination.

Oh thank God for that, I thought we might have to extend the list of unsuitable nations to hire from to France as well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_stereotype If you say someone is unlikely to hire someone because of their nationality or ethnicity having a reputation for hot headedness, that is at least saying Tony Bloom would use racial discrimination as part of his selection process. Then pretty much...

You missed out Gingers and pre-menstrual women. I suppose it's Maupays Argentine heritage rather than his Frenchness that makes him a bit fiery?

We will get him, spend 2 seasons doing OK whilst he polishes his English and builds his coaching team, then have a great start in his 3rd season, Man Utd will lose 2 of their first 6 fixtures, panic and come for him, and all his coaches.

Well, he himself believes he is more versatile than that, but I am not advocating him for us still.

I don't think that is necessarily Dyches style, it was what Dyche could do to survive with the budget he had.
