Very worrying that the leading candidate is not obvious. At the relevant moments: Deano was an inspired choice, O'Neill was a present surprise, Lambert was clear cut. Now, we are hoping for the miraculous permutation manager, who understands the league & the players & the club & the city. I reckon, that leads either to Nuno or a wildcard like the Dane. Not any ex CFC nor LFC wannabes.
List potential managers: John Terry, Frank Lampard, John Terry & Frank Lampard, Paolo Fonseca, Ronald Koeman, Roberto Martinez, Steve Bruce, Sam Allardyce, most Watford coaches in the last decade.
The VAR referee is Stuart Atwell and he had a choice between Hause or Konsa to miss our next 3 matches against beatable opponents. As a Bluenose, he obviously went for the most important one...
