looks like we lost out on Klopp,

 but Ancelotti is still available
I think that's it and now I understand why Ancelotti went missing when Liverpool tried to contact him. Ready when you are Carlo.

Yes I do fear  for our immediate future, changing the boss though will only have a very minimal impact if any.

Well, it would mean that we might have a competent manager rather than somebody who isn't really a manager at all.

But then, given the decision-making process from last time there's no guarantee that if we did get rid of him we wouldn't just end up with Joe Kinnear or Zippy from Rainbow next up.

That's another reason why we should maybe give Sherwood a bit more time. There's not a great deal of choice out there. If we were to make a change at some point, we might need to go for somebody who's already in a job.

Moyes might be available very soon, and he did a decent job at Everton on limited funding and has experience in the league.

Ideally I'd prefer someone a bit more progressive and cerebral.

But if it came down to a choice between Sherwood and Moyes, then for once I would consider the dour Scot to represent the more attractive proposition.

Personally I'd go after the De Bouers or Mike Laudrup

I know it's annoying when people do this but which article is this? I've trawled both TS threads and find it.

If I had a crystal ball and I knew he'd still be able to hold his head up high after a few years in charge l, I'd love Little to come back. I'd be so worried he'd get tarnished if it didn't work.

When Taylor cake back some of the younger generation could not relate to how good and what a huge part he played in saving the club from disaster.

Eddie Howe would be interesting, I'd just hope he's not the next Lambert. I'd say Moyes would be. safe bet for stabilising us but maybe not exciting the masses.

Rowett is a funny one.

I wouldn't put him on a list of "I'd like these" names, but if you placed before me a button and said "press this and you swap Sherwood for Rowett right now" I'd do it.

Rowett has less PL experience than Sherbert, but he does seem more genuine and tactically astute
