Clubs like Tottenham/AS Roma/Monaco are his new level.
I hate to quote myself but here I was on April 16th :D
Actually might as well give me a name for the next Spurs manager and I'll have a look at the market :)

It has been a while since I played around with those, but I remember them fondly!

It's hard to call because their new "status" in their new stadium and ESL contenders could see them land a big name. Allegri has been out of work for a while and may fancy a crack at the Prem or they could go for a young gun like OGS/Arteta/Lampard type. Who knows with them.... Remember jacques santini 🙄

Spurs manager prediction... :o are you serious Kai or are you just setting me up lol. They have a history of picking Christian Gross and AVB along with Martin Jol and Juande Ramos dont forget. CG could just be no 1 on the EPL list of worst ever managers
I am relatively serious, the market looks a mess with about 200 candidates. I had to laugh when I saw Diego Simeone backed at 50ish :lol:

I have no real opinion and no idea who it might be. Scotty Parker and Graham Potter seem to be slight market favorites.

Graham Potter :lol: what a lay.... The bet I mean.. Not him

Diego Someone PMSL... that man won't rest until he wins another La Liga and the CL he feels was his. I just don't think Apoel Nicosia and Dundalk in the EL group stages will stir his loins :lol:

A bit of a Freudian slip there Carl, have to be careful with those :D

Well it's a crap market but Brendan Rodgers has seen some decent activity, already missed some fun there!

I ought to chuck my hat in the ring for some of these jobs. My CV is impressive.

1. First person at school to complete the panini album for the 82 WC after I managed to swap Zico for Steve Archibald
2. The only person who could actually bend a player at Subbuteo I've ever met.
3. Had 17 centuries at keep uppy
4. Barcelona like at table football.
5. Ground it out for years supporting Sheff Utd
6. Took Macclesfield Town to the Championship with back to back promotions and an FA Cup quarter final and got a draw vs AC Milan in a preseason friendly on PS1s soccer manager

Are you seriously telling me that's not better than Christian Gross 8-)

Lol, don't get me started on how many trophies I've won in Football Manager, I'm not one to brag but I'm probably the best armchair manager around. Taking Vauxhall Motors FC all the way to the Premier League is not an easy task, I'll tell you that much.

I really hope Christian Gross is not your best guess, I needed Google's help to remind me who he is. But this market is practically a meme market, no idea what's Thomas Tuchel doing there, they'll add just about anyone.

Have you any idea Kai just how many Prems and CLs I would have won by now had I not stopped playing that stupid game out of principle. Probably 15 Prems in 12 seasons and the CL and EL double in the same season which has never been done before. I was up all night getting those promotions and was playing each game in real time to then be told I'd been sacked before the championship season started for over spending my budget...

Ralf would be a fair long-term pick. (If not for Spurs, for some other team in the Premier)

I've been to Field Mill. My local butchers holds more people than that ground so how did you manage that budget wise with a 9k capacity crowd... That sounds as bent as Eurovision.... :D
