Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[KRS]

Frank De Boer would be my choice. He's recently expressed an interest in moving to pastures new, would welcome the challenge of the Premier League and he would be perfectly suited to developing our young mixed nationality squad with his experience at Ajax. He would naturally earn the respect of the players instantly. If he can't get the best out of our players then I doubt anyone can.

Moyes is the best gettable option about, and randy is a fan. I'd be happy with him coming on board.

[CT Villan]

Our executives seem to like to take a risk when appointing managers, so why not take a risk with Bielsa (if he'd even entertain an offer form us). Frank De Boer would be interesting too, but like Bielsa, not sure he'd come.

Moyes would be safe, but I thought we all agreed...no more Scottish managers.

I'd be uninspired, but I'd feel a lot safer.

I'd love us, just for once, to appoint a manager that leaves rivals jealous thinking "how the fuck did they get him"?

We did with MON

Paulie is completely right, I often wonder how long does it take to our board (if we have any) to understand that we appointed a crap manager.
Donadoni or Guidolin would finally bring a bit of footballing knowledge in the squad after years of amateurs tactics by PL and TS, and if an old school coach like Ranieri is third in the table they could shine like new Pep Guardiolas in the low level of this Premier League.

And Joe Mercer. But it hasn't happened often.

And how will you feel when he plays the groin tingling 4-6-0 formation?

Who's in the 6? If it's Gil, Grealish etc, probably okay. If it's Lee Carsley and Thomas Gravesen, I won't notice because it'll have knocked me comatose.

Ranieri is third because he hasn't had to do anything with Leicester. When they start dropping points more consistently and he has to impose his style they'll come unstuck. I'm not sold a donadoni et al. Having a style that works in a league that you know and a tempo you prepare for doesn't mean it will translate to a foreign league and a different style of play.

british manager for me or a proven manager from a similar style league.

This is the logic which has got us into the mess we're in. Well, actually not quite, because to be fair to you I imagine you'd take someone from the Bundesliga, whereas our genius board thinks 'EPL or nada'.

You're right. Foreign managers like Mourinho, Wenger, Pellegrini etc just wouldn't work in Britain.

Not sure they would thrive in iur budget.

Good choices. I think you (and others) were advocating tactically sophisticated Italian managers last time.  As CT Villan mentions I would also love Bielsa, risky for sure , he is a nutter, but far less risky than a British plodder.
