Our next manager?

We will get Slaven Bilic and we will like it.

To win a cup, even the Carabou Cup in our last season at the Old Lady would be fantastic. On that basis I’d gamble on Jose Mourhino.
The challenge of doing a Porto with us as a career finale whilst taking us into the new ground might be something that would tickle his fancy. New owners generally like a big name in to herald the beginning of their reign too.

More realistically, I’d go for a forward-thinking manager with a good football background. Davide Ancelotti or Gary O’Neill tick that box.

Mourinhos hunger just isn't there anymore. When I watched that spurs all or nothing series he just didn't seem the charismatic man of old and it would be almost impossible to believe he would be able to regain the x factor he used to have, especially with Everton.

Go for a German manager. Look at thingymebob at Palace. At least German managers are structured, Stern, no personality, German and a strange sense of humour and obnoxious

He's Austrian

Sounds good to me - probably much better than whatevers currently playing. Bet its still Billy Ks old winamp playlist.

Can't we just employ a serial killer?? Certainly make it more exciting, they might actually be motivated ar sed to put some effort save getting killed?!?

Owner & Board is the problem. Can't really think about the positives of a new Manager until that's sorted.

It's not it's good!! But can you imagine how many players today listen to that!

Maybe that's what we need though, some proper rock and metal in the squad

He's Austrian

So was Adolf.

Happy we’ve appointed tracksuit Dyche.

I can't imagine many listen to z-cars.

Have some other names but I have initially one at mind. If 777 take over and Johannes Spors becomes DoF the name I cant shake Ralf Rangnick. Connect Spors ties to RB, and that Ralf could leave Austria post euros harmoniously, I think there might be some overlap of interest.

I personally would welcome it for a lot of reasons. First we'd have a manager I'd trust in recruitment under a new regime. We will need a larger vision in place. Some knack in real sell on viability scouting etc. Of course that would hopefully fall more under Spors, but the hypothetical strength of the club under 777 will be a multi club recruitment strategy. Ralf designed the best one going maybe not named city sports. I could see good structure with those two collectively.

I also think he's turned into a darn good manager without many realising it. Austria have been transformed under him. Hes tactically been incredibly sharp, improved a lot of players from a relatively small pool of choices. I think he's established more credibility or improved on that end compared to his stint at United. He's had some years to hone that craft.

65 years old is a bit of a worry. Maybe he's put to bed club management aspirations. The unique trajectory of his career though, I think he'd consider a premier league job with a backroom he has familiarity with and broadly overlaps with some of his strengths recruitment wise. If that was something he wanted to do coming in under these new owners and their portfolio of clubs, a new stadium with a historic club I could see interest him.

Really like Ralf Ragnick. Knew what the problems were at united but didn't get the opportunity. Loved his blunt honesty and calling things as they are. See he has turned down taking over Bayern for next season. Strange one that
