Rafa for me. Wins trophies wherever he goes and vitally for me he has Prem league experience.

Btw I don't understand why Bilic has so many votes :eh:

Possibly a bit of "who do you want/who do you think we're going to get" confusion from one or two, skewing a few votes in Slaven's favour? Maybe.

I would guess possibly Emery is more popular than the polls show aswell. I bet he's a lot of peoples second choice, and someone most would have without too many complaints.

Voted on who in an ideal world I would choose if they all would say yes and be ready to start now, so I would go with Ancelotti, it would not only bring the punters in through the door but would attract top quality players to the club and be a great sign of intent, but doubt he will sign.

Voted for who I would like to see as our next manager and from that list it is a no brainer for me, Jurgen Klopp.

Having said that I would be happy with any of the five currently heading the voting, ie. Bielsa, Ancelotti, Bilic, Klopp & Emery - although Bilic would be my fifth choice from those contenders

I voted for Ancelotti. Went on the biggest name with prem experience. Don't know too much about Bielsa or Emery.

I hope none will turn out like that nutter Fulham had, double training and all that weird stuff! He was on par with Di Canio at Sunderland ha ha.

That's how I felt , not for the Europa Cup bit but because he's very well thought of , young and progressive while Bielsa has great qualities I'd prefer to go with the younger man .

Just been around long enough to see how this movie ends. I cannot understand managers used to regular Champions League Football will want to come to us. It's madness to waste time on these names, all it does it push back the time we will appoint a more realistic candidate. We always handle changing managers badly, this is no different.

Tragic

Have ignored all the choices whom I consider VERY unlikely, and gone for the guy I consider best at this stage of our progression: Slaven Bilic.
