Ernesto Valverde

Advanced talks for interim manager apparently

https://www.theguardian.com/football...im-manager-job

I did mention hearing he'd downloaded duolingo a couple of weeks ago, so makes sense now.

One of five on the interim shortlist apparently?

My guess that’s along with Bruce, Ragnick, Ole and Blanc

At least he's got some actual pedigree, although winning the league with peak Messi in your side should be a given I guess.

Won things, has been around, isn't old - was however fired for making Barca dull as £#%&!.

was sort of going all right until 'Rogers'..

I predict the interim (not interim interim) will become permanent.

Sounds like this could be on.

Working alongside current coaches

Comprehensive look… FFS like the director of football position.

He's a good manager. Tbf his record at Barca was decent too and the sacking I think (memory not the best, back on the booze) seemed a bit unfair at the time. Messi moaning a lot, the little shit.

Was this the fella who went to anfield with a three goal cushion and lost 4-0 ?

did something similar at roma the year before iirc

can live with it as long as it's definitely only interim

An astute interim appointment Then"an experienced interim manager, likely working alongside current coaches"

They really would pull a turd out of a barrel of Mars bars No wonder McKenna and his mate are smiling

It’s another odd one from the board brains trust.

We would be bringing in an interim who has enjoyed far more success than the two men most think we would want as the permanent managers.

If Poch or ETH aren't available until summer then I'd be more than happy with this guy.

I just want someone who can get Ronaldo and Greenwood in a front three or two, and get them tearing teams apart like they should be. I know we're shite further down the pitch, but if you get that front pair working together then you're scoring goals. £#%&! Maguire and the odd goal De Gea throws in.

Greeners, Ranchero and Lazybones7 in a first choice front three.
children in need can come off the bench with his silly haircut to run at tired defences.

Will end up giving it to Carrick as full time interim after last night...

Valverde has already held talks with Manchester United football director John Murtough over the role and representatives of the Spaniard have said he is keen to take the temporary position.

But the 57-year-old manager Is aware that other candidates are being considered.

Fingers crossed 🤞
