Some bloke called Laurent Batlles currently has Troyes AC running away with French Ligue 2. Offer him a job in England coaching Massengo? He might at least be up for the battle.

( Though I wouldn’t bet against it ) Posted elsewhere, promotion to his name, done a great job at Preston working on a small budget, is willing to work as part of system which sees him lose his best players regularly, was constantly outpriced on players he wanted (known to have wanted both Wells and Palmer), apparently frustrated at PNE with how little he's given to work on as he supposedly gets about a tenth of any transfer fee to reinvest. Let him take what he's done at Preston and scale up the finances involved so he can work with players he wants to as opposed to players he has to due to not being able to afford anyone else.

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 I think with Wells, his QPR form was an overperformance but his standard level is better than he's displayed here. Better service might yield better results but in general, seems not to be a 20 goal a season- 10-15 more likely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having to sign players like Billy Bodin and Jayden Stockley when losing the likes of Jordan Hugill and Callum Robinson. I'd very much take a coach with his idea out of possession play if he wanted to work here without the gamesmanship. I more look at Neil as a genuine candidate because of the system he's prepared to work in and from what seems to be the accepted truth of our system sounds like he'd be willing to work in it, just we didn't want to pay the reported £3m compensation last summer, now he has less than 18 months left on his contract so that figure will be going down quickly.

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Not pro the Neill idea but think they had a very reasonable midfield, unsure how much was put together by him. Pearson-Browne-Johnson? Ledson and Potts in reserve. Certainly worse midfields around! Okay so Pearson has gone, but they also added Molumby on loan and Whiteman who was looked at by a few clubs IIRC. Barkhuizen in wide areas got a few goals too IIRC? As for Neill- think his Norwich side were not bad to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
