The Guardolia of Burnley has won 1 game so far this season.

Yes - exactly. We need to ambitious with our next appointment.

F**k it, let’s get Simeone in. He must be bored at Athletico by now, new challenge etc.

Yes.  Would be the end of the collaborative approach with the players, but that's maybe no bad thing.

Gattuso could be a cheaper (and currently available) version of that.

He didn't get the Spurs job, despite extensive talks.

"Gattuso had a long reputation for hot-headedness dating back to his days as a player, and had made a number of distasteful remarks in the past about racism in Italy, the role of women in football, and gay marriage."

Not sure we'd want that either would we?

It would make the press conferences a damn sight more interesting!

Any Italian manager that smokes would do, as he'd be bound to be pissed off looking within a game or two.

Lamberk looked like a resident of Skid Row by the end of his tenure with us, so Christ knows what we'd do to the Italian lads.

Knows the premier league got Everton and Southampton into Europe, won trophies! Nah why would we want that. Give him an 18 month contract. We would not be relegated

Left Everton 18th after 2 wins in their first 9 and just lost 5-2 to Arsenal at home.
