Indeed it was three but he got two

Anyway a two year deal would suggest that the incoming Manager/Head Coach has more faith in his ability than the club does

True, and as the average tenure in the premier league is about 2 years it's realistic.

He’s a basque isn’t he? That would make a will to join Real unlikely

You would think... however the pull of Real is too great. I believe it's 6 Basque managers of Real down the years...

Even since 2018 both Lopetegui (only a dozen or so games) and Alonso have sat in the hot seat.

Shout out to honorary Basque ...Big John Toshack... who twice managed Real..

Definitely a ‘Boon’ 😉

Hopefully it leads to plenty of "hi-ho silver,"ware......

Anno. I'll get me coat......

Hehe, if there's not much in the transfer kitty he'll have to be a loan arranger.

If the board don't back him in the summer, he'll be riding out of town by Christmas..


...but


.. as long as he can put out the fires in the dressing room, we'll be alright.
