They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Thoughts and prayers @Amadaeus
I thought Christophe Galtier was a French cologne.
Sacked by the PSG Sporting Director, Mbappe.
Might as well get Jean-Paul Gaultier for all the difference it'll make in terms of winning the French League.
Took so long due to the epic amount of compensation owed?, negotiation.
Not a bad gig being a top football manager. If you can get it.
Galtier, what are they thinking? Will never be able to handle that dressing room. May as well have Messi and Mbappe as joint manager...

You may well be right, but what's the alternative? Zidane is clearly waiting for the France job so he wasn't interested. All the other top guys are gainfully employed. Tough to think of anyone available with the resume and pedigree to go in there and immediately command the respect of that dressing room (not to mention being able to manage upwards as well). So this guy is about the best you can get.
Good fit for everton.
Strange post when we literally trying to buy the targets and the window has still a long way to go.
Surprised people think he going to be sacked mid way thru the season
That's about his level alright.
Newcastle!?
If reports are correct, the compensation is 17m€ which isn't epic. The reason behind the delay was that they first wanted to hire Luis Campos and let him decide on what he wanted to do, that appointment happened on June 10th. Later Luis Campos shared his decision which was to let Pochettino go and replace him with preferably Galtier, there were rumours that Doha preferred Zidane and contacted but that's only rumours. Around 10 days ago Pochettino and PSG allegedly agreed on a 15m€ without bonuses but asked for the payment of future bonuses, PSG were allegedly against it.
Zidane for France NT or PSG?
I think his stock has taken a real hit, he’ll struggle to get many top jobs now. Of course he won the league, but it’s really a minimum requirement and losing it previously was pretty bad. And PSG just never looked like much of a team under his stewardship, guess Mbappe felt similarly hand that’s why he’s taken this decision.
There will always be another team willing to take a gamble on him. You hear pundits and reporters talking about the 'job he did at Tottenham" like he parted the red sea. He's limited though for sure, especially at the top end of the spectrum. I think one more elite club takes a punt on him when. they're desperate, like a Madrid, and then he manages teams like Sevilla, Everton or West Ham for the rest of his career.
Agreed. Baffling statement. Then you have others complaining why are we only signing/targeting Eredivise players, players the manager's worked with, etc.? Proof you can't win on the Caf.
we have been pursuing De Jong for two months
Not really, the Newcastle owners will have high demands and will be seeking trophies . Low pressure gigs with Leeds, Everton or Aston Villa and finish 8th or higher and he will be praised by the media and pundits.
They basically do.
That's my thoughts as well. There's a lot of posters here that want to believe he's rubbish because he managed Spurs and because they preferred other options for manager. He might be a little overrated by pundits, but he's clearly not rubbish.
You’ve been pursuing Poch for 2 years. It’s definitely plausible that he could be United manager before the season ends if ETH does a dreadful job. There’s literally no good data on ETH to gauge his ability besides being a success at a single club.
By relative standards, he also succeeded at Utrecht and Go Ahead Eagles?
OK? I replied to the notion of Ten Hag “obviously not being backed with his key targets” by saying we’ve been pursuing De Jong for two months. What does your post have to do with what I said?
He wasn't success at single club, there is lot of information on internet to easily search about his work at his previous clubs.

Chelsea next?
Boehly on the blower?
Speak to us @Amadaeus. Is daddy in talks?
Backup if Potter doesn't happen imo
Hope they go for Poch.
That would be so weird if he goes from one club with a long history of being a managerial circus (PSG) to another (Chelsea). He should seek something else that is more stable.
don't see him going to Chelsea....looks like Potter is their first choice
yes please. @Amadaeus and i approve.

Hate these "banter" accounts. Would love to see what Poch could do at Brighton tbh, and I say that who is someone who is relieved he didn't get the job at United.
I don't understand why people take such pleasure in footballers/managers failing. Unless it's Liverpool/City, of course.
Would be a smart move for him.
He should hold out for Leicester
What's the issue with him managing Brighton exactly? He already managed Spurs.
Aye. I agree, out of the two feel that one would be better for him.
Want him to fail wherever he goes though xx
