Because pep and poch like him? Arsene wenger liked remi garde and he's f'in terrible. Lazio massively took the piss and were a shambles at the time. Still though he is a mentalist, in a good way.

ismail-villa Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 If we were able to get Brendan Rodgers in I'd love that. 95% chance that he'll say no, but who knows. He must be bored with the Scottish league now, give him a challenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A man who has done the double double woll be on the same list as Wenger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Neil Lennon has done well at Hibs, failed miserably at Bolton but that was a stupid place to go at the time due to the financial situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 For me unrealistically but if there was a hope then 1 of either Benithez, Ranieri or Wenger in a heartbeat. On a realistic note I would think Claude Puel would be perfect. If all else fails then Sam Allerdyce (1 season only) or Chris Coleman. ...But no way to McLaren, Pearson or Redknapp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allardtce drove a hard bargain at Everton , no way would he come here under the current financial situation .

villabromsgrove Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I would like a head coach like Jokanovic or Nuno, but I don't know of a suitable candidate at the moment. What I do know is that we haven't got time to hang about, which is why I would bring Dean Smith in as head coach to kick start our recovery. If someone better is identified then that will be great. We do not need an old fashioned manager to oversee all aspects from identifying and signing players to tactics and coaching. It hasn't worked once in our last half a dozen attempts. We need to separate what happens on the pitch from the development of a long term plan which will need to be invested in season by season. If necessary we can change the head coach as regularly as we need, while keeping a positive long term investment plan as our blueprint. We haven't had a long term plan implemented, and have suffered from knee jerk short term gambling. We chucked loads of money away on buying promotion with old and now well past their prime players with little or no sell on value, and are saddled as a consequence with a huge wage bill for a Championship team. We have to change. There can be no if's, but's, or maybe's! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
