    Who realistically would we be able to attract?

    Are we at fat Sam level?

    There are some decent lower level managers we could look at.

    It's just a question of time.
    Bruce can't weave the same magic as Rafa Benitez with this squad.

    Joelinton needs to settle fast, although he looks overpriced just now.

    Who can we attract?
    Hopefully a young, dynamic manager who has an exciting tactical talent and inspirational qualities...

    Garry Monk / Gary Rowett or anyone else called Gary...

    Who was number 13 on the list?

    I think the squad is good enough but Bruce needs to find a formation that works. 3 CMs isn't it especially when played out of position

    Nigel Pearson

    Or do we go for the inexperienced manager (similar to Gerrard, Lampard, Woodgate), but big enough name to command some level of respect from the playing squad?

    Lee Bowyer

    I thought that as i wrote it. At least they'd have open conversations!! We'd need Steven Taylor going down like an assassin too though!

    Fat Sam turned us down. We are way below his level. Wearside Jack.

    At this moment in time would you take Steve or Sam given the choice between them?

    Mark Hughes, Gary Monk, Martin O'Neill.

    Them lot, basically.

    I'd go for Nigel Pearson simply because he looks ****in' mental.

    Didn't he have a massive argument with the board? Why was he training with the kids? Argue with Pardew or the owners?

    and I think he's getting investigated for assault.
