I'm amazed that anyone can look at the range of managers available now, and come to the conclusion that the best man for the job - not just someone who hasn't got a job, the actual best appointment we could make - would be Tim Sherwood.
He's the kind of name that seemed very attractive while Lambert was here.  But now Lambert's gone Sherwood is a complete non-starter.

Be honest, do you think Randy has ever heard of Cesare Prandelli / Jurgen Klopp?

I think so. I mean just because he has made bad decisions doesn't mean is entirely ignorant of football. I can't imagine someone who follows football (as Randy clearly does) not knowing those names, even if vaguely.

He did used to have quite luxurious hair.

Plus he has a lovely line in tank tops.

My vote:

1. Prandelli on an 4 year contract or whatever is required to take the job (dare I say it but with Platt as translator)
2. Southgate - DoF (permanent) and G Neville -  Manager (to the end of the season) - whereupon we get a Howe/Clement/Grimaldi/Klopp.
3. As above but Hoddle as manager for 6 months.

Be honest, why would they ever consider managing Villa? They'd laugh at us!

Be honest, which good manager would want to manage us?

I know McLaren is doing well, but i can't get over his resemblance to a sleazy used car salesman, and for that reason alone i say no.

Prandelli speaks English better than David Platt.

Should've got Pulis in before the Baggies - he'll keep them up. Laudrup for me.

Pulis is probably wishing he'd hung on a bit longer!

Tim Sherwood is a 10 pinter double bagger. Didn't seem such a bad idea when pissed and it's closing time. Once sober though!

What's with the Southgate obsession? He's managed one club, he got them relegated and got sacked.

Oh sorry, I forgot. He used to play for us so he would be an ideal appointment regardless of his incompetence.

If the email to FEAR is genuine, then Fox is in charge now, and he might well have heard of them.

Which email is that? Sorry bit out of the loop here!
