Two things from this thread for me:
1. The idea that we can attract the best of the "big name" managers in our current situation is laughable. They don't usually take big risks with teams outside the top few clubs in a given league. They would have too much to lose in joining a team struggling like we are right now.
2. The idea that managers like Eddie Howe aren't eligible because they've never won anything is also stupid. Pochettino has never won anything but I'd take him at our club in a heartbeat. On the other hand there are managers like Roberto Martinez who have won something but are utter frauds.
I want a smart, motivated manager who has the tactical nous to get something out of this team.
