Whatever, a couple of experienced heads and a bit of idea in the transfer market will be essential.

It is all moot though, he won't be going anywhere.

Sadly , I agree, I just can't see Lerner sacking him.

Miroslav Djukic

Just got rid of him at my second team. No thank you.

However  Pepe Mel or Bielsa would be good choices. Ralf Rangnick looked promising at Schalke. Felix Magath could sort any side out, he's a fucking hardass.

André Villas-Boas for me, he was my first choice before Lambert was appointed...

I dunno, maybe appointing someone with only a single seasons experience at the top level was always asking for trouble. For that reason, the likes of Solksjaer are too risky for me.


What I want is the 2013 equivalent of Big Ron. A big name that would give the young players a lift and attract better players from the transfer market.

I'm probably going to get shot down here but....

A few years ago, Spurs were in the shit. Poor managerial choices had left them bottom of the league with a disgruntled squad. They changed the manager and reached the champions league within a couple of years. They then IMO made the idiotic decision to sack him and have been worse off ever since.

I'm sure you can guess who I'm referring to. Popular choice or not, the bloke knows his football, his tactics and has a very good record of improving youth players,  and I think that's exactly what we need right now.

Redknapp has all of the flaws of Lambert and none of the strengths. He's only good if you give him money to splurge.

He knows his tactics? The fella who instructed Defoe to "run around a bit"?

Hoddle? A bloke who hasn't managed for 7 years and got sacked from his last two jobs for being shit? And will come with baggage? What could possibly go wrong there.

 The manager who almost tactically engineered a victory over Argentina, until cheated by the re.

 Thing is Ger, we are not going to get a top manager atm, but Hoddle will see it as an opportunity, realise Villas potential, play attacking football, attract good players.I think it was Neville who said he was the most tactically astute manager he had worked under, impresses me when hes on Sky anyway.

If we managed to hire Bielsa I would be delighted. Sadly I doubt Lerner & Faulkner have ever heard of him.

Almost winning a game 15 years ago is hardly the greatest thing to have on a CV. And how were we cheated, Beckham deserved to go under the rules of the game.

I've never heard of him either. Sounds like a make of car.
