In terms of the names linked thus far, Favre, Rodgers and Conte are all WAY ahead of people like Lampard and Gerrard (for me).

Just look at the names I mentioned, and those at the top of their craft - which ones were ever decent players, aside from Pep? All the other best managers everywhere were bang average (or worse) footballers - there's just something about ex-pro's that really, really puts me off. Then there's the question of loyalty. Gerrard comes in, here's only in the job to prove himself good enough for Liverpool. **** that. It's the management equivalent of the loan system.

While we could attract Favre, there's absolutely no chance that Conte would ever take the Newcastle job while we are in the bottom three. It's simply impossible.

And Rodgers is at Leicester which despite all of his failures is absolutely worshipped there. There's no point in him changing club.

I think we need to be realistic. City gave Mark Hughes millions to spend, over 100 I recall.

Yeah, so wouldn't it make a touch more sense to learn from that kind of stupidity? Honestly, there's people out that I've never heard of I'd take ahead of Lampard. With Lampard, I know I'm getting a banal cockney who's done an average job in the Championship, then a really **** job at Chelsea (a job he should NEVER have gotten).

City finished top ten like, so they achieved their goals as intended. The next manager in Mancini built on that work and did even better. As was the agenda from day ONE.

Lampard both did a good job at Derby, who have collapsed since his departure and then over achieved in his first season at Chelsea. They all aimed for top half and instead finished in a Champions League spot. Which was universally praised at the end of the season. You have an atrociously short and picky memory.

They spunked 200M on players that now all sit on the Chelsea bench, the falling out at Chelsea was directly because all those players were signed without consulting the manager, Lampard. They didn't suit the style one bit.

The cockney stuff is nonsense and you're being a dick.
 
Ernesto Valverde
Gennaro Gattuso
André Villas-Boas
Jürgen Klinsmann
Zinedine Zidane
Paulo Fonseca
Frank De Boer

All available I think and all I would prefer over Lampard or Gerrard

All in bold are absolutely terrible choices and will see us relegated.

Frank De Boer is an atrocious manager. He was only good in the league at Ajax

Why’s there such a ****ing hard on for AVB? I can’t remember his previous stints in the PL being that memorable, he’s rarely stays in the same place for more than a couple of years and hasn’t really pulled up any trees in the last 6 or 7 years (two of which he was unemployed for). Has he really developed that much since Chelsea/Spurs that he’s worth a punt? Obviously he’d be better than Bruce but is he really what we’re looking for? That’s a genuine question…I don’t follow managers careers so just dig about on wiki and **** and you hardly hear his name mentioned so just curious.

His first season at Spurs (with Bale) was really good. Collapsed the following year, but more because of the poor way money from Bale's sale was spent.

There's not its just his links with Herrera and being at odds of 50/1 is a canny earner.
