Yes. Not my first choice but I wouldn't be unhappy with him. Never got the "smug" thing which has become a bit of a cliche about the man. If anything is public persona, and that's what we're talking about, is rather low key and a little dour. But he has a proven track record of doing well in the premier league, including with a club with small budget, has European experience, and plays fast, attacking football so if he was available he'd have to be considered. More likely though is a coach from mainland Europe.

Can’t see Eddie going to us after Newcastle.

Think England is possibly his next step or West Ham and I think the likelihood of him featuring high on our list is slim.

Francesco Farioli is the one I think we’ll want. Has worked with RDZ, knows his methods and will want to manage in England.

This is a really dumb question - too much bad history with us, far far far too smug and don't get me started on that orange man with the shiny white teeth who spends most of the time hanging out of Smug's arse!!!

If we had Eddie we’d have some good defensive displays I’m sure

I thought Jurgen Klopp was still the Liverpool manager?

Me neither, see also calling Bournemouth 'tinpot' when we're hardly Real Madrid ourselves, and away from NSC The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the biggest pile of shit ever performed, just utter crap from start to finish.

Looks like a younger and slimmer version of RDZ as well. Even down to the black clothes and white trainers.

Yes. There’s similarities to Potter also.

Farioli studied philosophy at Uni as well as Sports Science and did his thesis on football. Then worked in lower leagues before working with Qatar’s youth teams.

Definitely ticks a lot of boxes which we look for,
