Spent longer considering this than I care to admit...

I did factor in an element of realism, otherwise someone of Ancelotti's calibre walks it, he would be incredible. But I also think if the impossible were to happen he would be here a very short time and we possibly want someone to stay a bit longer term. So considering that I went with Emery.

There's plenty there I would be happy with and its an incredible list of possibles for us really. But Emery for me is the one that could be here for 4-5 years and really start to build something. His reputation is on the rise and were all hoping so is our club. So why not grow together. As many have said on these forums lately he could well be one in a few years time that is one of the hottest properties in management, and we sit their thinking what if.

Isn't the clock ticking rather fast on that one? And he's not getting a great deal of international experience in the meantime (unless he's caretaking against Gibraltar Lincoln Red Imps or whoever).

De Boer for me. Coming from Ajax who have a fantastic youth set up would stimulate the Academy. Not to shabby a manager either.

Out of the realistic choices available it has to be Bielsa. Would be an amazing ride.

tbh i voted for realistic option (Bielsa) as opposed to dream scenario (Klopp), I think there are 2 completely different polls getting muddled together in this.

You've got more chance of getting Shankly.

Time to get real, our season starts in 5 weeks. Look at realistic targets, Rowett, Powell, Dyche. Otherwise its going to be Uncle Avram all over again.

What a shambles

My sister saw him once around Bond Street and gave him a wave as she thought he looked familiar and was "one of my Dad's mates" :lol:

He just give her a strange look and walked on....

Bielsa all the way.

Love watching his teams and I like the cut of his jib. Promotes young players early, not conventional at all tactically, and is a little bit bonkers (but not fascist bonkers).

Who voted Redknapp? I'm not usually in favour of lynch mobs but willing to make an exception here.

Voted for Moyes, but think we'll get Bilic, and believe that Bielsa would be too intense for our existing squad, leading to a meltdown and the sack before Xmas.
