De Zerbi is an absolute no brainer. Not many of ours first choice, but what do we really know? He ticks pretty much every box. Wouldn't be a punt at all, he's got great pedigree and if we was still at a club and being successful we'd be drooling.
Either Gallardo and Martinez are so out of our league that we wouldn't even consider them or it's very quiet on those fronts. Why would you not approach the absolutely best managers that you have even a (albeit VERY) small chance of getting?
We seem to be being linked with almost reassuringly...
I think it's as simple as this- in the unlikely event he did want to come and if we felt he was the best candidate you'd have to do that. I think the players would be incredibly motivated knowing he was coming in. Could the slightly rudderless spell unsettle us? Yes, but you'd have to fancy us...
How dare we believe. How dare we dream for more. What right our self belief?
How dare they. How dare the pundits, the so called experts, the washed up old pros, the outspoken nobodies telling us not to dream. How dare they tell us to know our place.
We dare and believe because Tony Bloom dares...
Would love it if Ange came. Every Scot and every player who's ever played in Scotland and has been asked about
it has been incredulous at the suggestion.
Absolutely no chance Bruno is in the running. We couldn't afford him. Someone just got drunk rereading his farewell letter and put a tenner on him at the bookies.
Let's be honest, lovely idea as it is (I would and always would rather be managed by a woman) it's simply not going to even be discussed this time around.
McKenna is an interesting one. Experience isn't necessarily a problem given he was Mourihnos assistant. Only 36. Took Martyn Pert with him...
And Lee Grant followed after his retirement (he was at Man U as a back up keeper).
This one feels so us. Only question mark will be age and experience.
I'm convinced Gallardo would be our number one target. Not for one minute suggesting he'd even answer a phone call from us, but there is likely to be candidates that seem out of our reach just as there seems to be with players too.
