I can't see him leaving you right now with the current squad and set up you have, in the league you are in (competing against the best managers in the world, in the best league) for an Italian team like Juventus and Inter who don't currently have the player profiles he likes. I can't even see him going to a Spurs.

I think it would take a Man City, Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid or P$G to get him.

A job with a very good owner and a very interesting project where he could deliver success and trophies.

I don’t want to tempt fate, but I think he’s the sort of person that will take us as far as he can. Then he’ll want a new project.

Whilst I know this is a forum and discussions are to be had, this seems to be becoming a habit of late. As soon as we win and win well these threads pop up, can't even enjoy the joy of a thumping win for 24 hours. Yes we could all just ignore it and scroll on, but it is becoming tedious.

I agree. The problem is that one of those teams is going to come in for him at some point. I’d be amazed if he is here next season. Hopefully we’ve already identified his replacement, I expect we have.

For no apparent reason, I feel that he WILL be here, next season.

One that pays more.

See Murray, Potter, Coppell, Caicedo, MacAllister, etc...
I'm pretty sure that money isn't the prime motivation for RDZ. Especially having just managed in Ukraine. Seems to me he's a one-off maverick with a set of scruples that are far from common at this level of the game. All of his words and actions strongly suggest that this is the case.

Here's my favourite photo of RDZ. He's greeting Mudryk before our game at Stamford Bridge. RDZ believed in the boy and gave him extensive game time at Shakhtar Donetsk. Here they are, reunited in England. Doesn't he look every inch like a proud father? What a man! :love:

It’s a good question.

I guess a lot rests on how our season pans out and if he remains motivated to smashing every ceiling he comes across. He is unlikely to find a club with a more supportive owner.

If he gets Fati firing as a world class player again and Barcelona have a non trophy season…..
