In fairness, I know we approached a few big hitters before appointing McLeish (they didn't want the season of austerity burden) but that just makes appointing him all the more confusing and annoying.

It's like looking at BMW, Mercedes, Jaguars and Audis and plumping for a Y reg Allegro instead.

That's more understandable when you do your sums and realise you can afford the repayments, but not the running costs.

I'd like an Orange Allegro, wasn't keen on the Brown ones...

I would say Trevor Francis but he never took them down did he so either Barry Fry or John Bond

No idea but we must drop this 'must have Premier League experience' nonsense.

Much rather have 'plays good football and teams never give in'. 

That would be a 100% improvement on the last 2 appointments.

Got quite excited for a few seconds when I saw the thread title there.

To be honest, I'd find it very hard to second-guess who Lerner would appoint in the future if he's in the position to look for a new manager. His last choice I would never have predicted.

That could be an excellent management team.

Villa Boas?? Ray Wilkins as No1 would be OK in my book.
