Victorian Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Are folk getting excited because he has a fancy name or do they know if he's actually a decent Manager ?

loveofthegame Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Does anyone with a knowledge of Portuguese football know if he's achieved anything as a manager? I'll be completely honest, I'd never heard of him until about 10minutes ago.... But surely he must have done something right to be appointed at Sporting. Portugal's equivalent to being appointed to 1 of the big 4 in England or OF up here?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazo Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 so if he is arriving tomorrow what is the point in Locke? Assist him until his own man comes in I would imagine.

Dinger Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 so if he is arriving tomorrow what is the point in Locke? Inside info on the players I guess.

Alan Johnson Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 but he's SPANISH! It's the cultural similarities though. Suso's become even more determined to leave now he's the only Spaniard as his English is poor and he's got nobody to talk to at the club. A couple of new Spanish or Portuguese faces (who tend to speak Spanish)might help him feel more settled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
