Naggelman(sp) would be an interesting choice. Maybe he wants to spread his wings outside of the Bundesliga. Then again, if he gets ANY success here, he's going to Bayern at the drop of a hat.

Silva would be brilliant.
Many of the other supposed options are unrealistic. We're a big club but we're also a club that has a ramshackle stadium and one trophy to show for the last 30 years.

Would that be your first choice tho dave? If not who? And if you could a manager not on the poll above who would you get in?

I have no great candidate to champion, tbh. Let's just say though that my idea of who should manage differs from Moshiri's.
Genuinely interested in who you think we should approach.
Not having a pop but you say it differs to mosh's and you critisized him for panicking and getting sam. We are all in agreement I think that sam has to go? So if you found yourself in his shoes in the summer and you needed to appoint someone who would you go for?

I just told you I have no overwhelming candidate in mind. Silva would be better than Allardyce for sure.
Agreed .. so surely you can't critisize mosh to harsh on whichever appointment comes in as you can appreciate it's not exactly an easy thing to do

We have to give Rodgers a shot, surely
he's done quite well at Celtic, and they are playing good football

I dont want Fonesca or Silva tbh, the more I think about it the more I believe we simply have to bring in a realisic but proven manager.
1. Unai Emery- has to be our number one choice and whilst arguably unrealistic he may well want to manage in England and I dont see Chelsea or Arsenal going for him leaving us as the only other club.
2. Arsene Wenger- record speaks for itself and knows Moshiri from his time at Arsenal. I personally think he'll move abroad but who knows maybe he's settled in England and wants to stay on managing in the prem. We would be massive favourites if so.
3. Roberto Mancini - Mancini was the one who really pushed City on a level signing the likes of David Silva, Aguero, Dzeko and Yaya Toure. He seems a bit of a bell but I think he would have us top 7 easily and with the financial backing could push us on.
4. Laurent Blanc - was a leader on the pitch as a player and had a decent record in europe with Bordaeux. Donea decent job at PSG and again would easily have us top 7 imo.
5. Paulo Fonesca - I like that he's young and seems to play a good style of football but he for me is still a risk and could easily be another De Boer than a Pochettino.
6. Manuel Pellegrini - seems a nice bloke and again better than any manager currently managing outside the top 6 so for me it would be a yes although not overwhelming.
7. Marco Silva - meh would rather Alladyce tbh.

1. Emery is a no brainer tbh, i think we should straight in there with a blank cheque book tbh.
2. Wenger, he already has said he wants a month to decide what to do next (too long for us imo) and has he really got the energy to build a club again? im not so sure but id love to have him here.
3. Mancini, a complete no from me, the guy makes enemies wherever he goes, he falls out with players and clubs so easily because he is so highly strung.
4. Blanc, I like the idea of Laurent Blanc and he wants to come to England, if we could convince him to take us on i think it would be a good appointment.
5. Fonseca, I think this is who most people want, he can coach players, his team play nice football, but yeah there is a risk with him but there is a risk with any appointment though.
6. Pellegrini, I don't understand why we never went for him prior to Koeman, so would'nt complain if we went for him now tbh.
7. Silva, no thanks, but if he comes here i will support him.

We're on our arses here. Two years of that gormless get Moshiri has seen to that. There is no chance of landing the first 6 in that list. Why on earth would they come to this basket case of a club?
