Hasn't De Zerbi just been sacked by Marseilles? Available but sacked for not performing. He might be the answer but it is making me smile a little.

Glasner has done a great job, loses his best player once, sometimes twice a season and then gets hammered when Palace have a blip 🙄. Would he work at spurs? I don't know but he might be the best option considering where Spurs are right now. No top manager will go there, they are too far behind for those guys. They want instant success, big budgets. That isn't where they are at right now

In terms of Frank. He still did an exceptional job at Brentford and I'm sure, at the right club, he'll do well again. I'd have him at Everton if Moyes moved on.

I was wondering about Frank getting another job in the Premier League. I wonder if Palace will consider him for next season?
 
There's definitely a distinct pandemic of manager sackitus going round the PL these days. Fans do realise there's only a finite number of well known managers available, and harking back to historical ways of playing doesn't bring progress

De Zerbi finished 2nd in his first campaign, being the best club besides PSG isn't too bad. Didn't quite match it this campaign I guess but they are still 4th. Did alright with Brighton, just finished his second season poorly. I think his style of play is something that's desirable for the club and the fans. Frank didn't really have that - it was like he came in, saw the team was 17th last season, and treated us like another Brentford in which staying afloat was the only goal.

There would be a lot of irony about Glasner complaining about his board at Palace selling players and not investing in the team - and then turning up at Spurs of all places. I can't see it being a good fit, personally.

I think I'd be ok with it being De Zerbi, but also on some level, I don't really care who it is anymore. I thought Frank was a good appointment last summer, and I was wrong.

Don’t think De Zerbi will get the job I would get a interim in and try for Poch would be my choice

I just think this would end in heartbreak. I feel he was quite lucky to receive a bit of a golden generation of players, like Kane who cost nothing, and the likes of Son, Toby & Jan, Eriksen, Dembele and Dele who all cost peanuts relatively speaking. Obviously a good man manager, and hiring him would improve the mood of the fans perhaps, but those expecting him to replicate what he did the first time round could be disappointed.
 
If all these managers believe in “footballing “ goalkeepers and defenders more interested in passing sideways and backwards than forwards long to initiate attacks, then boring dangerous football will continue and so will their bad results.
These managers are like suitcases on an airline ’baggage carousel, with clubs periodically snatching at them in desperation.
Clubs got more money than sense.

It’s been heartbreak ever since he left 😂. After the final that was the time to invest in a few top players sadly Levy missed that opportunity.
At least if Poch came he would give the whole club a lift and the fans would be happy and maybe keep us from being relegated.

I just mean he's currently a bit of an icon, if he came back and did poorly would it tarnish his legacy somewhat?

Honestly, I think almost anyone who's an actual manager could come in and improve things with a bit of new manager bounce at this point. Just look at Carrick at United. While we are certainly in a relegation battle, I'd still be surprised if all of West Ham, Forest and Leeds get more points than us. I think we only need about 9 points from the last 12 games to be fine. If Poch is the next manager it would almost certainly not be until next season though.

Agree don’t think we will get relegated it’s hard to believe there’s teams worse than us.
I think Poch has spoken in the past that he would like to come back.
There’s very few top managers to choose from and someone like De Zerbi or Glasner would be the same level as Frank

It always does.

Keegan should never have had a third spell at Newcastle (2nd as manager)...was always doomed under the Cockney Mafia regime.

Always a tough spot going back again - Mourinho did ok winning title but went sour again , Moyes has done ok a few times

But it’s rare that it’s a good choice when they left for a good reason
