No, they will get the wrong guy and end up appointing some mush called Frank Thomas
DS: "Hello, is that Frank"
F: "it is, yeah"
DS: "listen, I won't beat around the bush; would you come and manage my team and get us back to the premier league? I'll give you a 3 year contract on £3m a year - start Monday 9am? I'll send over the contract and you can just email it back to me"
F: "WOW! brilliant, thanks, see you Monday"

Monday comes around and Dragan goes to the front door...

"OOHH... ****!"

Knowing SR, they would hire Frank Spencer (one for the oldies)
 
Feel like we need a safer appointment than that personally.

Parker seems the obvious choice.

I’d much prefer us to go for a similar to Tonda approach. Also, Carsley & THB are very close, with him giving him his only England cap. Carsley and make THB club captain and rally whoever we can from this current team we have!!

THB ain't sticking around no matter what.

Carsley hasn't managed domestically before has he?

Neither had Tonda ;)

I hear it on THB, but you do never know… he’s a leader and with the right man at the helm might be persuaded. (I do think he’s gone too though sadly)
