And yet it seems like he's, you know, right in the frame.

If I was the United ownership, I'd be having a look at Iriola as well for the sort of football he plays.

he would be honest hiding to nothing from day one potentially yeah like I sort of wonder whether United and Chelsea have got similar decisions to make in that sense and whether Iriola kind of you know is almost edging both of those battles for for the top job both those places it feels to me again on the subject the team is being poorly run and Chelsea I think are just chief among them for this it feels like they jumped ship on Brasenia earlier because there's a great clause basically they saw the way to shit out of this appointment they've seen him be you know David Brent has anything since he since he came in

And they've just gone like, yeah, we're going to cut ties here before we have to start paying him upwards into the 20 million into the six year contract or whatever madness that he signs.

So I wonder whether, you know, he or Iola making the decision that he made, may Chelsea sort of, you know, kick that a little bit further along and then.

do they just look at someone who plays slightly better football than Rossini because even that's probably the thing you could have leveled up Maresca for as well as you said he did before the football wasn't exactly like overly attractive I think he found a way to get more out of Cole Palmer especially than Rossini did and maybe that's you know the big brief for the new manager but beyond that you want someone who just doesn't play you know it's her defensive yeah basically but Rossini has gone full Will McKenzie I mean shit himself on the big exam like quite literally that's what he's done

Nagelsmann Nagelsmann is going to be looking for work as well so any of these could come in for the United job Southgate if he ever decides to go back to coaching could end up with something The trouble is with Southgate because Marco Silva is another name that's sort of put on the agenda as potentially leaving Fulham but again it's sort of I wouldn't say Marco Silva's football is like turgid particularly but it's definitely turgid

defensive first I think you saw that when he was the Everton manager especially maybe why Everton sort of fell out of love with him a little bit in the end was it always did feel a little bit defensive first I wonder whether these teams now which would be interesting for the league as a whole by the way Ian because we've looked at the league as a whole this season and thought well the football's gone back to basically Tony Pule in style with long throws and all that I wonder whether actually you'll see quite a dramatic jump back to a more attacking style next season if we get too many of these managers in

And another team who could feed into that, Jimmy, is Newcastle because it feels like Eddie Howe's time may have come to an end there.

There was a really funny thing, you might have seen this because you're as online as I am, where they've done the relegation race and someone quoted us saying they're not in the picture and then they photoshopped Newcastle in on 42 points, so not yet safe at the moment.

I think they will because I've just still got this thing that I think Spurs are going to go down.

But it does feel like Eddie Howe's time may have come to an end there.

He was the first.

appointment that the Saudi ownership made and I'm just wondering now whether they'll try and flex their pockets a bit more deeply it's interesting that Mourinho it seems like is going to go to Real Madrid because I'd have had him as almost one of those like yeah you know big sports washing the front of this in the face of this kind of managerial appointments where there you go oh actually we want someone who just is an attractive name as much as anything I know he would swing the football back to the dark age of Mourinho because he is want to do but I wouldn't clubs the ground in three years yeah

It's the bit I think they did right, almost for a sports washing project especially, is they actually tried to build a bit incrementally.

Even the signings they made at the start, as expensive as they were, it didn't jump straight to the Ferrari.

I have literally no comment.

It's funny when we talk about dominoes falling, where we could almost be talking about two dominoes being Real Madrid and Newcastle.

I mentioned that I feel like there was a bit of a tandem in them before, because I just thought Newcastle were nailed on to get Jose Mourinho.

It seems now from the reports, Romano and a couple of other people saying the same thing, Gornstein as well.
