I have narrowed it down in my own mind to Pelligrini, De Boer and Koeman. Each has experience of winning as a manager, and two of them have experience as players. De Boer is a slight risk but his coaching team are highly qualified. Koeman knows the league and how to rebuild as he did successfully at Southampton, plus his name has the pulling power. While Pelligrini has won with City and taken a team at our level in Spain and pushed them onto Quarter finals in the CL levels.

The idea of Farve(an unknown quantity in some respects but it sounds like he's a good coach who would set up to counter attack and press rather like Leicester) and I have warmed to Mancini who I hated at City but he could instill a discipline and winning mentality into our current squad, are both outsiders to my mind. Hughes isn't much of a improvement, he would improve the defence but you can't over look his mishandling of transfers at every club he has been at alongside his slightly arrogant demeanor.

Actually, all 3 have.

Agreed with the post overall though.
 
Think he meant experience of winning as a player, Pellegrini won naff all.

Thats not a major factor tho, just pointing it out bruh.
He was a one club man in a time where his club was crap, yet still managed to (apparently) win a championship and get to a Copa Libertadores.

I mean, hardly Barcelona (as both Frank and Koeman have played there), but he's played 450+ games over 17 years or something, doubt he didn't learn anything like... lol Plus if we're nitpicking - Pel probably has more experience than both de Boer and Koeman combined as a manager, but I cba checking that.

Either way, any of the 3 are more than welcome here.

His team was utter pony, I think they even got relegated, but, Koeman honestly I aint impressed with, I want better, hes not for me, not overly keen on the Zombie either, but thats not to say he wouldnt be a good choice, his record is impressive and defo not to be sniffed at.

All would be a massive upgrade on Martinez and Moyes, so onwards and upwards!
