I asked for a qualified improvement for Martinez for a midseason sacking. Klopp would not fit the that.

how do you define your "qualified improvement" then?
winning the bundesliga and champions league(did I remember correctly?) is not qualified?

He is more than qualified...but he's not leaving Dortmund in the middle of a season.

He never won the cl, man.

Come on, try and know something about the subject you're talking about.

Mid season sackings mean you are real danger of going down, and need a manager to prevent that.

Medium/long term planning is nowhere near the job spec. It is a 3 month job.

Right...but it would certainly be something we could all debate.

Nice idea in theory yeah but it wouldn't be a sensible mature reasoned debate, it would be full of "lol are you on crack" type posts at pretty much every manager mentioned.

But what's new around here lol.

you ask for a name, that's the name that will fit us perfectly. Everyone has a price. I believe EPL will be attractive for him, he stayed at Dortmund long enough for him to have some fresh challenge elsewhere.

If he stays in Germany, the next progressive step is to manage Bayern munich but I don't think he'll do that. Worth trying to get him.

If we could get Klopp I agree, he's worth a look at sacking Martinez. However, would he give us the time of day? Can we match that price? Would he not be more interested in jobs with more money? He has to be getting bored of all his best players getting poached by richer teams...we're not a step up in that regard.

Exactly the only reason to change now, is if we thought we needed to keep us up.

In which case steady hand, 3 months. Royle would be fine.

The summer is when you make a proper change. And there'll be options if we want to do so. Though I don't think we should.

For me it's lazy to not bring solutions to the table....but fair enough...especially your last point.

Is this racist?

This is a great point.

I'd make Tim Howard player manager and sign Jozy Altidore as captain.

Can we get Bradley in the midfield as well?

I know its a sort of if My auntie had bollocks she'd be my Uncle type question, but if we were knocked out of Europe in the group stage and were having the same PL season, what sort of Difference would that make to the poll result. How much has/is the Europa league saving him? If we get Liverpool in the next round and they put us out that would be the lowest I will have ever been as a football fan I think.
