Which they did, yeah.

Yeah, I agree with you.

I think that was a massive problem for them.

So, OK, he's gone now.

We said he would probably be an interim coach now between now and the end of the season.

We also said they've got 12 days to prepare for the North London derby and the Arsenal game at home, by the way.

So in terms of new manager bounce, I know it's either that or you lose and you get smashed and then it's even worse.

But

It looks like Marcio Pochettino, who will be out of contract with the US men's national team after the World Cup, he's the preferred option from the board to bring him back to the club.

He seems quite happy to come back to the club as well.

He wants to go back to club management and to England.

Anyway, do you like those kind of comebacks after a first in somewhere?

We saw, obviously, Mourinho doing it at Chelsea and a few others.

I don't think...

It's a good idea, but that's just me.

I know.

And I think he would only come back with the right conditions, which probably means, even outside of financially, a lot of power that he didn't have, if you remember, when he was there the first time with Daniel Levy.

Do you remember there was that spell of two years or 18 months where they didn't sign anybody for him?

I don't think he would go back to those kind of conditions.

So if they're ready to basically give him the keys and say, here you go, do whatever you want, we'll back you up all the way.
