If we go from Ten Hag/Overmars or Fonseca/Rangnick to ****ing Rafa Benitez I am going to be so very depressed. Surely we can do better than ****ing Rafa man? Let us live a little and watch some proper entertaining footy. Not that ****s drab stop the oppo ****e. I mean if someone could guarantee me he was only here till the end of the season, would have no say at all in any significant January transfers, then I'd take him for the fire fighting role. But otherwise you're installing someone who is impossible to follow and won't deliver what the fans should want - entertainment!

How have we gone from Ten Hag when he turned our approach down. Rangnick was approached to manage, not to be a DOF, Fonseca is the only one that has accepted an initial deal.

Rodgers, Emery, Ten Hag, Mourinho Rafa, Conte have all turned us down.

We have spoken to Howe and Lampard, but they didn't impress. Lampard then announced that he turned us down. We have sounded out Gerrard, but that's as far as it's got.

You weren't in the room with each negotiation mate. Don't believe everything you read on the papers...

you are about as ITK as I am generous in the Earl.
 
It would be canny funny pinching rafa off Everton just to teach @Peej another lesson

However we don't really want him do we?

Do you have any names (apart from your hero, Gallardo!) who excite you more than others? What's your considered view on Ten Hag for example?

I like the Ten Hag/Overmars combo. What they've done there and the fact Ten Hag did the hard yards with Utrecht, Bayern Munich II and Go Ahead Eagles, I can see there is substance there (I'm thinking of De Boer here who had not much substance behind his time managing Ajax because its a one horse race). Its a combo with experience of working together, who have a phenomenal record with transfers and youth so yeah I'd be up for it. Its more they have a defined style that runs throughout the club like a Liverpool or Man City or Brighton even. That style is modern and attacking. That's what I want for us.

Obviously I really like Gallardo for all the same reasons. I'm not sure he'd come though, I think he is set for the very biggest jobs in Europe and we ain't there yet. Again though, very modern, attacking full throttle football. You'd need sporting directors to work with him of course.

Rangnick I like. His record is exemplary really, and his ethos is again something we should be aiming for. Either as manager or sporting director to be honest.

Fonseca - I'll be honest I don't know what to make of his record. I like his style of play on what I've seen but I couldn't pretend to be an expert on him or his style. That's one I'd just trust these new owners on.

Potter - Still one I really like the idea of, and his personal relationship with Jones is still very appealing to me. The sporting directors would of course need to be heavyweights in the game. A bit like the Ten Hag situ who isn't a name to people, but Overmars more than provides the pizazz doesn't he.

To be truthful I don't really care as long as its attacking, modern, and is part of a long term process to bring us up to speed with the footballing world, while getting us towards the right end of the league.
