    Could be Roberto Di Matteo I guess, he won it at Chelsea as the interim manager after all.

    Well the proof of the pudding is in the eating and the first bite comes on Saturday.

    Reading that interview it comes over as an American PR exercise and other owners have made similar promises since 2007.  I also dont like the way he disassociates himself from the ticketing fiasco of last season "our staff", he must have signed off the initiatives.  Hopefully, it will all come together up in Accrington!

    I like Tommy but I wish he would say less sometimes.

    Well if you read what he says, the manager wasn't available at the time for other reasons but was interested.

    Respond with context.

    If even the mangers are unavailable where's anyone gonna sleep?  Not even the friendliest innkeeper can help

    But Sandgaard himself decided to approach a household name who has not only won the Champions League but other European and domestic titles too.

    Benitez is the only one I can think of who fits all those criteria and isn't currently in a much better job.

    Di Matteo and Rijkaard the other trophies bit doesn't seem to fit.

    So much BS in that article. I wonder if he actually believes the rubbish that he comes out with.

    Cause London is a major city outsiders looking to buy a football club look at the amount of people living there and think that’s easy to fill stadiums etc.

    Last season was a lesson learned when even when you are giving thousands of tickets that does not many will flood into your stadium if the product is inadequate

    Benitez is in a much better job than Charlton!

    Guess it could be a player that won the Champions League/other European leagues? If Sandgaard genuinely went after a manager who has won those competitions I’m half impressed half concerned.

    So you believe everything that he says in that article then? I'd rather he said nothing.
    I'm not anti TS at all but just say it as I see it. I was grateful for him saving us from the thieving scumbags who preceded him but have been more than underwhelmed ever since. If you come in shouting your mouth off about where the club was going to be within 5 years then you have to at least make a start to deliver on those promises. I don't see any progress at all and my expectations for the coming season are as low as they have ever been.

    Jon Dahl Tomasson won the Champions League with AC Milan, the league with AC Milan and Feyenoord.

    I mean he's just come to England as well, as Manager of Blackburn Rovers

    Bloke is full of shit.

    All gimmicks and style over substance which makes the new NFT sponsorship very fitting.

    Deliver then talk and show.

    Several decades of mismanagement 🤦🏻‍♂️
    Just say since Dowie was appointed 15 odd years ago !

    After the blow this league out of the water remark which boosted the season tickets 12 months ago to about 10k and we started in relegation form, prefer action to words.

    The difference in wages between recruiting a European champions League winner and a Division 2 manager must be 10 fold.

    Avron Grant might come cheap !

    I like Tommy but I wish he would say less sometimes.

    I understand this view but it's been almost two years now - I personally take everything he says in these national media pieces with more than a pinch of salt.

    He loves the spotlight, that's just who he is. I don't believe he's here to BS us. I tend to believe that he's simply an optimistic fella who lets his mouth run away with excitement sometimes.

    I appreciate having someone at the top who is as excited about the football as we fans. As long as the club remains ambitious and I can watch them play every Saturday, I couldn't care less about "promises" of the Premier League in five years or European football in 10. They're lofty targets but they're not something to crucify the man over.

    My health has benefitted hugely from not taking everything TS says at face value.
