Within about the last 4 days we've had Martinez, Bradley, Coleman and now Zola at 1-2 wouldn't be surprised if nothing comes of Zola.

Purely out of interest (as all we've got posted on here so far is pure speculation!) I seem to remember that when Bruce was appointed he was an outsider. Who was the favourite to be appointed at the time - can anyone remember?
 
Question - who would people want less than Zola?

I'd prefer McLaren, Phelan, Warnock, Brown and any of the others we've been linked with. The only person I'd prefer Zola to is Evans.
 
Yeah, but. In Spain its Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico then a bunch of also-rans..Little wonder these clubs do well in the CL when they walk the league..Year in year out..

That's what I meant, maybe didn't come across clear enough.

Zidane winning the CL in his first season is not an indication if his management skills.
 
Yet. If Zola has ambitions of being a successful manager, he has a lot to prove and coming to us, in our sad and sorry state would be managerial suicide.
Fortunately I suspect whether its Zola, Phelan or whoever they will be rather more positive about the future than 99% of the posters on here at the moment. I imagine whoever does get appointed there'll be far more saying its the wrong choice than the right one.

Yet Bayern who are walking the league year in year out and PSG and the Italian ones aren't for doing well regularly for some reason. We haven't done that great recently either despite the same few clubs winning it year in year out until last season.

Careful - you're talking about the Real World that exists outside of this forum. You're only allowed to be negative about anything and everything the Allams do - or don't do - on here otherwise you'll be abused and classed as an Allam apologist!
