I think it'll be really interesting to see if he'll be backed or whether Boehly feels he's chucked enough in, have they got a decent director of football type who might be able to clear some of the deadwood shite? That's without even considering the joke that is FFP.

In fact we have two 'Co-Directors of Football'. I'm sure that won't be dysfunctional at any point.

As for FFP, I did get some dark comedic enjoyment from watching that Tifo video about whether Chelsea have spent too much money. They may as well have just had the phrase "you're fucked m8" on repeat for 5 minutes.

Still, we'll see if any other clubs are stupid enough to part with substantial amounts of cash for some of our deadwood, then just cross our fingers that we make Europe in some form next season. A perfectly cromulant low-risk endeavour, I'm sure.

I hope it's Gérard Houlier and Roy Evans.

Long past the upset part. This is the anger stage. 

[Colly]

Lineker in fall to the Sith shocker.

It'd be great to see Houiler back in a job. Especially after his death in 2020.

[Colly]

I completely forgot about that. Even moreso then.

I've said it before, but if enough of us tweet about it Boehly will probably hire him. Even if he's dead.

Swansea City head coach Russell Martin is close to being named Southampton manager.

Southampton are yet to make an official approach to Swansea for permission to speak to Martin.

Saints are confident the 37-year-old will be their new boss as they rebuild following Premier League relegation.

Martin has only a year to run on his Swansea contract and has not travelled to the US for scheduled talks with Swansea's American ownership group.

He has repeatedly said he would be interested in extending his stay in Wales, but no new deal has materialised.

I'm happy about this because it means they won't be taking Argyle's manager.

Will this be enough for Spurs to have a sudden "what if we get Spalletti instead" moment and allow Feyenoord to agree a new contract for Slot?

[METALMAN]

I prefer the alternate universe where Poch goes to Tottenham and is inevitably shit and the the Spurs fans cry even more.

[Lineker]

Same.

[Chris2K]

Slot has turned down Spurs to stay at Feyenoord. Even the guys I haven't heard of don't want the job.

[Lineker]

 

[The Lusophone]

Slot signing his third new deal at Feyenoord in three years - and by all accounts it's a record for the club (and maybe the Eredivisie). With Ajax likely coming back hard next season, that's a pretty big risk.

[Lineker]

At this point I would love it to be Ange from Celtic. But why would he leave there for our mess?

[DavidMarrio]

Your gonna end up with Brendan at this rate

Potter necessaily wouldn't be a bad shout IMO. 

[Hobo]

This is how Ryan Mason becomes Spurs manager full time.
