New manager

A lot depends on what the new owners want to do really. And that's why to some extent it's a bit futile saying what type of manager you want until you know the plan.

Like their view might be, that they are going to be aggressive in the transfer market, and buy better players and a bit like how we did under Ancelotti look to rise up the table quickly. Before he lost heart, and RM turned his head we were in the top 4.

And that was 12 months after being in the bottom 3 under Silva. There's this myth (amongst many myths) that it's impossible to move a lot quickly. Forest have shown that to be totally untrue this season. Villa did it the year before. Like Villa basically just got a strong manager, gave him a load of money and let him get on with it. We did it with Carlo.

The issue becomes, of you can't match that spending, and they get frustrated. That would be the big challenge with a Mourinho.

But honestly, Ancelotti had Calvert Lewin in the England squad looking like he could get 20 a season. There's no doubt whatsoever that the best managers can make a huge difference to the players they have.

We won at Anfield at a canter, with Holgate, Keane and Godfrey in a back 3 being protected by Tom Davies.
And finished lower than we had under Silva.
