That’s not the criteria though. There’s no point just getting any manager that we believe is better than Ole. The goal is to challenge for, and eventually win a league title. So we need somebody of the required standard to do that.
If any manager on the list is better than Ole do you care to venture some names?
And if they’re not available now and like you say we decide to bring in an interim, can you put forward any reasonable candidates?
Because if there aren’t the right candidates available then it absolutely does change the thinking on sacking Ole right now.
I don't know if you are dense or in denial. But I will humour you.
I never said we should appoint anyone, only that anyone on the list will still be an improvement on Ole. Let's not play semantics.
As for interim managers...
- What is Blanc doing now?
- Where is Hiddink?
- Rednapp for a couple of months.
- Fonseca is being discussed at Newcastle, he could do a job until the summer.
We are talking interim here, they don't need to be a world-beater, infact you don't want them to be. Someone to come in, achieve par and get us to the summer. Their purpose is to replace the current regime and hold hard till the summer achieving top 4, shouldn't be difficult with our squad.
As for permanent managers. I would go for an interim now and Ten Hag in the summer. We could go for Conte now who would be a big change in style but has always been successful.
I do feel we need to move away from the past and in that respect Conte could be good. I'm hearing SAF has been at Carrington this morning giving a speech, at this point Ole is a puppet and manager in name only.
