Wagner and Houghton tried and tested and would be good choices for us. Flynn, although done really well, big risk for a team that will have to overachieve to stay up (possibly if they demolish our squad again) or do you take a chance on an player just at the end of his career, like rangers did with Gerrard and Derby with Lampard. Van Persie just retired, added bonus of could always play himself if we were struggling. who knows, guaranteed to be a cheap option and out of work.
Just thinking, it is guaranteed to be some nobody from the MLS>
