Claude Makelele

Gone straight in as favourite with Bet victor at 2/1 and all other candidates have drifted, obviously something in it as being reported in the press he is in talks with us currently.

Ironically he left his last role due to interference from the board about he could and couldn’t play.

Thought on him……. One of the all time great midfielders, but manager……. Hmmmmm, ??

Brief spell in charge of Asteras Tripolis in Greece last month, won one and drew two in his three games.


Was at Eupen in Belgium before that, losing 38 of his 70 games - 21 wins and 11 draws.

His first managerial job in 2017 was with Bastia but was sacked after 13 games when they had only won 3, drawn 4 and lost 6.

Was also an assistant at Swansea and PSG with Paul Clement.

Like you say he was a brilliant midfielder but those stats aren't encouraging for him as a manager.


But will support him if he gets the job.

Jez, this is a random one!!!

I'd prefer we didn't go there tbh, not with the position we are in currently.

Daily Mail says he's in advanced talks to be our manager.

Glen Williams says he's not under consideration.

Depends which of those evils you want to believe.

Not for me,bloody circus.

Ned I still maintain that our new manager will be a "Name" and to me this guy is not a name (as a manager) that is

Not for me.

No better than what we have had really in terms of actual experience. None in the UK.

Great player, yes, but that doesn't always mean great manager.

We need actual, proven experience, in the Championship.

We aren't in a position where we can take risks right now.

Not the time for a risk to be honest, we need someone who knows what’s what with this league…..in saying that, the sooner Tan sells up the better so maybe get him in as I’m sure it will end in tears a league lower….

Not for me,bloody circus.

So someone in the press mentions a name for us & we're a circus? Makes no sense at all when there's so much other stuff to pin on the club.

Another Day ....Another new name ...
