Leicester fans will be gutted at missing out on Champions League next season, but they're 4 points better off compared to last season and won the FA Cup. 

 

Rodgers is doing a good job there. 

Can see him going to Spurs

Spurs considering Bobby Brown Shoes as manager after the Euros. That'll end in tears.


I read that as well. The most Spursy appointment ever. Might as well get Ossie Ardiles back.

 

I see Conte is threatening to leave Inter again. If Spurs were smart, they’d go for him.

Klinsmanns thrown his name into the hat as well 

 

Their best bet would be Rodgers

Conte has won Premiership, has won Italian league a few times, has experience in Europe and Internationally. 
 

I don’t see how Rodgers is a better bet.

Potter would be a good appointment for them, in my opinion. 

 

But they'll go for a name (likely with a mediocre record). 


I agree. I think he’s showing signs of being a top coach. 
 

Like us hiring Rodgers, it’d be a very bold / brave move. My concern is, like Rodgers & us, it would be too soon for him.

Maybe. But he's got a decade of managerial experience. And did miraculous work in Sweden.

 

No guarantees, of course. But Martinez? Meh...

Didn’t realise all that abroad. I just thought he went from Swansea to Brighton. 
 

I do think he maybe needs a step up from Brighton first, but I think Spurs might be a quick. 
 

He’d be perfect for Leicester if Rodgers went to Spurs!

In December 2010, Potter signed a three-year contract as coach of Östersund, who were then playing in the fourth tier of Swedish football, starting on 24 January 2011.[11] Potter was offered the job after Graeme Jones, his friend and assistant to Roberto Martínez at Swansea City, recommended him to chairman Daniel Kindberg after their pre-season friendly with Swansea.[12]

 

In 2013, after two successive promotions, Potter extended his contract with the club for another three years.[13] On 27 October 2015, Östersund secured promotion to the Swedish top flight, Allsvenskan, for the first time in their history following a second-place finish in the 2015 Superettan.[14] Östersund finished their debut season in eighth place, winning plaudits for their "slick passing game" and competing on a limited budget.[15][16]

 

On 13 April 2017, Potter's Östersund team won the Svenska Cupen, beating Norrköping 4–1 in the final.[17] This granted the team a place in the second qualifying round of the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League where they defeated Galatasaray 3–1 on aggregate.[18] In the third round they defeated Fola Esch 3–1 on aggregate[19] and in the play-offs they knocked out PAOK (3–3 on aggregate with more away goals), thus securing a historic entry into the Europa League group stage.[20][15] They finished second in their group, level on points with Athletic Bilbao.[21] Despite beating Arsenal 2–1 at the Emirates Stadium, they were eliminated from the competition after losing 4–2 on aggregate.[22] Östersund finished their domestic league season in fifth place.

Impressive, however Hodgeson also did well in Sweden!

 

I (partially) jest. I do think he looks to have the makings of a good coach.
