Yes but still got Everton and Southampton into Europ which shouldn’t be sniffed at. But hey each opinion. For 18 months I would do it. I think he would leave us in a better position than we are now.

Roberto Mancini for me. A serial winner, tactically astute, plays attacking 4-3-3. May be more gettable then thought as although he’s coaching his country, the Premier League is quite addictive for managers. He only went to Italy after a poor spell with Zenit I think it was.

One thing’s for definite; we’ll learn an awful lot more about our owners when they appoint their next manager at whatever point they do.

I'd take him before Koeman.

With the right backing, it's not totally fanciful.

He went to the amazing Turkish league with Galatasary after the Citeh gig, and - as the poster said above - was happy to take Zenit's roubles before the Italy job.

A bigger issue might be how much control an appointment like that would have over transfers and how much ground they'd be prepared to cede to Lange. The bigger the name, the less likely they are to play ball in that regard.

We need to bag Warnock before Man U come in for him.
