Like Ancelotti?
Like Benitez?
Like Silva?
Like Martinez?
All of them were proper right; wake up, we need to take a chance because the "proper managers" are crap...
Or do you want Pep or Klopp?
Lol, "wake up", the cry of every maniac on this forum. Neither you nor I have any clue how Rooney, Dunc and Baines would get on as a managerial team, let alone predicting Europe within two years. We need a proper plan from boardroom to pitch and the nerve to see it through, until that happens there will be no success at this club. A complete novice, given our situation, is a very big risk. That being said I would prefer that to a highly paid has been like Benitez or Mourinho. There is a middle ground, of course, that you choose to ignore. A younger manager with a few years experience and no "Hollywood" name, many have been proposed, Potter being the most obvious example. I don't give a toss about the boys pen or any other nostalgic nonsense, having been a blue at one time is no qualification at all, neither is winning some pots a decade or more ago. Decide what sort of football we want to play, decide upon a structure for transfers, age group teams, scouting, medical services then choose a manager who suits that system and back him. It's not rocket science.
