Ray Gatt ‏@Gatty54  6h6 hours ago@SSouthy_SFC The Mail is Popovic is leaving at the end of the season with China the likely destination.

You wouldn't blame him with all the road blocks the FFA put up.

Quick prediction - this will go horribly, especially if he goes to a team that is trying to buy superstars. 

We've seen how players like Pio and Saba turn out under him. He needs players who are willing to do it his way and his way only. Players like Clisby, Neville, Bridge and topor have excelled to differing degrees under him because they have something to lose. They put in the leg work at training because they know they have to prove something. 

I think he would genuinely do better with a low ranked EPL or a mid table EFL Championship team full of players busting their arse to keep their spot. 

Can you imagine him dealing with a bloke like Tevez? It would be catastrophic

I'm guessing one of the smaller CSL clubs or even a second division Chinese club.

Leave the Wanderers for a D2 side? Maybe. I think a midtable team is more likely. Still think he's better hitting up a more obscure league in europe like Austria or something.

I hope the Nix bid for him.

He'd be ideal for the Nix if he was given full control of the team, not having to share his coaching duties with the Ownership group.

Good on him  if he does go to China, If he does well over there, he will be a great advertisement for the A league. Real football that crosses borders and cultures ... unlike something else .
