I guess the likes of Klopp, Benitez, Mancini, De Boer, Spalletti and Van Gaal are out of our league financially
No not out of our league financially as we pay rather well. This lot are stuck too far up Champions League arse to consider a sleeping giant where transfer budget might be a little suspect.

He's staying on as Italy manager. Would have better jobs than us lined up anyway.

What about the Norwegian bloke in the wellies who was at Wimbledon? Is he still alive? Or is he busy starring in repeats of 'Last of the Summer Wine?'
Egel Olsen?

Klinsman may be popular if we get new American owners!

I take it we are all agreed he won't be here next season?
Just watched his press conference and he looked and sounded a beaten man

what else can he be?  poor results, poor recruitment -in the main -,  poor football, and poor management, culminating with being asleep at the wheel for god knows how long whilst tweedle dum and tweedle dee wreaked havoc with squad morale.

Unfortunately for the last few years we've been paying Selfridges wages for Primark managers.

Mentioned before, but McLeish was one of the top 20 best paid managers in the world when he was with us.

Luciano Spalletti left Zenith. Great manager, with a very distinctive idea of football, that he wants attacking, flowing and entertaining. He is the man that invented the 4-2-3-1 formation 10 years ago. I would like him,

Disagree, events this week suggest to me Lerner will stick with him. I don't think there is an appetite to go back to square one and start again so he will be given every chance to get it right next season.

Exciting time ahead. We go again.
