I always get Emery mixed up with that guy who stunk Arsenal out a few years ago.

You mean Unai Emery?

One and the same.  He's a decent Manager.

Favre, fonseca or emery. All three would be excellemt choices.

No to gerrard and Terry

Hell no to Lampard or Allardyce

He's staying put because he's settled there.

Purslow will go all in on Gerard.

I think it’ll be Gerrard but I really think we should go balls on the line for Favre.

Graham Potter for me. Throw money at Brighton, and I’m sure he’ll come (and we won’t have to face him next game!)

Brett. Former Green Bay Packers Quarterback. Takes a superb long throw.

Gerrard. God no. Didn't we learn our lesson with McNeil, Mcleish and MON?

Get someone good. We happily pay stupid money on players. Do it for the right manager.

Have this horrible feeling that in a week's time I'll be trying to convince myself that Gerrard might not be so bad after all... please don't be so bloody stupid Villa. He's been there three years, spent a fortune, and won fewer trophies than St Johnstone.

Won a cup at Dortmund (although he wasn't a great success overall).

Took over 'Gladbach when they were rock bottom of Bundesliga in Jan 2011. Kept them up via play off and they finished top 4 the next season. Did similar at OGC Nice aswell (sure Brian Green can give better summary).

Experience in top leagues and would be a coup imo. Valverde would be very interesting pick aswell so those are two high profile and generally successful managers who are available currently.
