Spanish Football 2017/18

[Dammit]

Been supporting Madrid since last summer, if Wenger takes over....

So stupid for Pochettino to have signed that new contract recently

Would love Wenger to join Real and add a couple of trophies to his CV.
With Poch maybe unavailable due to the new contract and some thoughts about Conte's mental state after Chelsea, it's not too unlikely to hire the current elder statesman of football on a 2 year contract.


Regarding Zidane I highly suspect he'll do a sabbatical. Not too many interesting clubs of fitting stature are looking for a manager. PSG has hired Tuchel, Utd has Mou, Arsenal now Emery, Allegri stays at Juve...maybe Milan will try and upgrade on Gattuso with Conte and Zidane available. Can't see Zidane at Chelsea really.

 

[Rimaal]

OMG Zizou resigned!

WTF!! 3 CLs in a row are not enough for the fecker Perez?!

 

[benjamin86]

If Poch is really the man they want and he wants to go even without a clause, Real would just pay the compensation which would be £25m? (i'm guessing they would have to pay off his contract 8.5m x 5years?)

 

[juice man]

Haven't read a lot about this yet. Has he commented on what drove the decision?

[Rimaal]

That's a bet for the suckers.

From what I gather, he felt tired and felt like he had taken this team as far as he can and they'd need a change to keep winning..

 

[say yes]

Losing Potchy to Real at his juncture would be a nightmare for Sp**s. Desperately need him to keep the project going over the next couple of years.

Will be vintage Arsène taking the role.

 

[Vinci]

Classy from Zizou, believes he has taken the team as far as he can and leaves.

Would like to see Potchy at Madrid, would be pure comedy.

 

[Rimaal]

I suspect Zizou resigned in the same way Wenger resigned. It's well known that Perez wanted him out (benching Bale is just one of the issues Perez has with Zidane)..

 

[ThlRama]

There is a chance that this will be a followed by a Real rebuilding job. If this is the case, the summer market will be mad.

From what I gather, he felt tired and felt like he had taken this team as far as he can and they'd need a change to keep winning..

In the snippet of his presser I saw on TV, he said something like: "Where the club is right now, if I had stayed there could have been a lot of problems next season." I thought he indicated the relationship with the team/his ability to motivate them further on the basis of the success was going to be tough.

 

[KrissKringle]

Wow didn't expected that. Maybe he want new challenge.

We should have waited a bit and then maybe Zidane would have come here.

 

[carlito'sway]

We should have waited a bit and that maybe Zidane would have come here.

He was tempted to but watched a couple of segments of AFTV and said " Forget it...No way I will put myself in that mess"....

 

[KrissKringle]

Would like to see Potchy at Madrid, would be pure comedy.

He would instil the "winning is not everything." mentality in them.

 

[Artisan]

If they take Poch it would make things so much easier for us next year

 

[Oh_Snap]

Perfect timing. Nothing to win for him anymore and he's absolutly right if he says the team needs a change.
