Could it not be argued that Craig Shakespeare landed a "European Giant" for his very first managerial appointment? After all, were Leicester not the last surviving British team in the Champions League at the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, believe what you want. On what basis do you think that's the case? It's been reported in a couple of English newspapers and also some portuguese media outlets.

theowlsman Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 A guy called Carlos is being rumoured to take us over, never heard of him. Says here he's had more clubs than he's had hot dinners, so we don't want him. That Carlos fella has just been named our new manager. WTF, what a screw up. Actually, I am starting to like him. This Carlos fella is brilliant. I always knew he would be. We all love you Carlos. Carlos had a dream. It would be a total disaster for us if we ever lose Carlos. Carlos has lost the plot, see, I told you he was crap. We need to get rid of him now, he doesn't know what he's doing. I'll be honest, I thought he'd lost the plot and I wanted rid, but I got it wrong, he's done fantastic, he should stay. He got it all wrong again, see, I told you he was crap, he needs to go. I don't mind if he goes. Always knew he wouldn't last long. Mr C has just given Carlos a new contract. WTF is going on, disastrous decision, will all end in tears. You know, I'm quite glad we extended Carlos' contract, I mean, who else is better? The Owls go up........ Carlos is a genius. Best manager, with the best win ratio ever. Yeah, but he'll get found out in the Premiership, we should get rid now. 10 straight wins later..... Never doubted him. Still think we should get rid though. Why? Cos he'll get homesick and leave anyway. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. Thank feck for summer breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irrespective of the reasons he may leave...I don't think he for one second would throw his integrity away like that. His interview was an olive branch to DC that he wants to stay and the rumours are garbage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastleigh Owl Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Well, for 1) I haven't seen nothing from the local journals 2) I believe what CC said, he'll meet with DC this week, i'm sure he and his wife have had a good chat this weekend 3) The Mirror and scoops don't usually go hand in hand 4) The Portuguese press are quoting the mirror 5) Porto is above CC capabilities.I don't think they'd take him TBH.

Tamworthowl Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Why would our "board" tell him he's free to go? He hasn't got a contract. If Carlos wants to go he just says bye to DC. DC has no control at all, other than through his charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the respect that he leaves us on the back of a disappointing defeat where a proportion of the fanbase want him to leave. It would have been nice for him to leave after achieving some success, rather than two playoff defeats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the translations on this page are fantastic: "The safety of a coach is the contract he has signed" This is not to be Porto. This is being Pig. Great and filthy Pig... You have realized that you do not count at all and go out with a pearl of these. Was it not enough to congratulate a corrupt champion against the whole structure that defended him throughout the season? Because? Why do you lick the boots on the regime and its wage earners? It's easy, you're pig, very pig. I just do not understand why you're still here. Your meekness infects the structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
