Henry.

Faria acts like even more of a petulant child on the touchline than Mourinho does.

To be honest I feel anyone would be a gamble with our basket case of a squad. I’m sure since these players have been in our first team they have not been coached at all.

The newer players fresh from another side with structures might fair better. Our longer serving first teams might wonder what the fuck is going on, after all, all they have had to do is pull up their socks and roll their sleeves back.
Didn't they realise they had to put their boots on ?
It would be easy to improve the attack and midfield as the coaching seems to have been so negligent .

I'd like Dean Smith with Terry as assistant.

But if it's Henry instead of Smith, with a proper support network and drumming some sort of fucking playing style into this club, then I'll back this 100%.

Henry would be a gamble, would we get a Cruyff or a Sherwood? Perhaps worth it as we have got to get it right one time ... haven’t we?

He can speak, he understands the game. He's not Sherwood.

Loads of people sound knowledgeable discussing the game. That's not the gig. Plus you've got the "accent" thing. It's amazing how ex-foreign players don't sound so clever if you imagine them speaking it in fat sam's accent.

It's more an observation than an attack on Henry. There is an in-built bias with most people to take someone more seriously if they have a certain accent. It's like cantona, spent his career attacking various refs, players and spectators and speaks bollocks 24 hours a day, yet he's viewed as this artisitic gaul wit. If he spoke like robbie savage or vinny jones he'd be seen for what he is.  Football is especially bad for it. it's like the old Guiseppe Verdi thing. Joe Green doesn't sound so cultered somehow

Whoever it is I hope they don’t employ the former Chelsea number 26.

Savage and Jones aren't spouting shite in a second or third language for a start.

nothing to do with football but anyone speaking with a French, Irish or Latino accent automatically sound more sexier

If it is Henry with Terry as No 2 and coming back to play, it would solve many of the worries and galvanise the squad overnight.
This!
