Bournemouth have spoken to Thierry Henry as they close in on appointing a new manager.
The Bournemouth board have been locked in meetings and interviews throughout the last two weeks as they look to replace Jason Tindall, who was sacked at the beginning of the month.
It's emerged that Arsenal legend Henry has become a late shock contender for the vacant position.
Henry is currently the head coach of MLS side CF Montreal.
Appointment , just before we meet them potentially, Henry may not be short term answer to their slump in this league , perhaps a good long term building plan appointment , who knows ?? he is very unproven as a Mgr in British football ??
McCarthy as Director of Football with Henry as Manager.
That could work for us
I’d have Henry up front alongside Moore:hehe:Quote:

He was shocking at Monaco, with a record of 4 wins, 5 draws, and 11 defeats, from 20 games in charge.Quote:

Part of the reason why he won't make it as a good manager. Like Mike Brearley said about Botham, he just couldn't understand how people couldn't bowl well all the time!Quote:

His record for Monaco was dismal . Admittedly they were struggling long before he got there.Quote:
