Mourinho and allegri wont come .
3 out of work are marcellino, blanc and Wenger . Would they come I dont know. But they are better options.
If moyes had not managed us before he would nor even be considered. It would be like goin for chris Hughton or mark Hughes.

Would Marcelino be considered too much of a risk? He utterly crapped the bed at Sevilla, no Premier League experience, does that strike you as the right man to appoint when your 16th?
Blanc for some reason just doesnt take jobs, maybe that would change, I think Wengers enjoying his retirement.

But these are good, achievable names, so well done.

I don't know would they. But as you said getting us to finish minimum 10th would not be too difficult a task .
Marcellino is a risk ya.
But the moyes who flopped at United, sociedad and Sunderland even if was is a poisoned chalice is a risk too..
 
I know mate, it hurts me, it really does, having to dismiss all these wonderful managers, knowing that they will never come here.

I suppose people just think I lack ambition or that im clueless, I dunno, anything to hide from the truth.

A few years back when Esk suggested Jose was interested, I was sold, I was dreaming with the rest, but its just not happening, for many, many reasons.

Ive said it before, the 2 "best" managers, the 2 managers with the highest trophy count that we have ever hired in our entire history are Walter Smith and Ronald Koeman, thats the scope of our reach, in our whole 141 year history, but people still think Diego or Jose is gonna rock up here on their 41m pound a year wages.
I think we are all guilty of it mate I watch the betting and get excited by Odds on managers fluctuating and thinking this really could be happening then getting kicked in the nads like I’ve just said something out of line to the mrs haha.

fact of the matter is we are a middle of the league team with money to spend but unfortunately the money came too late as we had given clubs like your Chelsea’s, city’s etc a few years on us for it to be much of a factor.

I think the harsh reality of it is we aren’t as attractive as we were 30 years ago so your so called top managers would rather wait for the bigger jobs to come along

If you look closely at the spending, we arent MUCH different to the rest of the league.

We had a windfall, when we spent more than most, but we wasted it sadly, now we are just as you say a middle of the pack team.
 
Why would we need Moyes when there are already loads of managers out of jobs?

Why would the summer suddenly make us any more attractive.

We are 3 points away from 7th, 5 points from a guaranteed European place with a good squad of players being coached awfully.

People thinking we are in Big Sam 5 points off safety with 15 games to go territory are incorrect.

Absolutely no way Moyes comes here if Brands is picking the next manager - and I am not a Big Brands fan either.

All this talk of Moyes waiting for the job Is born from the pro Voldermort brigade's desire in trying to scare people into hoping he keeps his job - project fear.
Pre-summer transfer window, "clean" start instead of having your first 5 months on the job be cleaning up industrial waste
 

Really???? Hmmmm didn’t even know that. Knew he left Feyenoord and though he was having a break. Being at city is interesting though.

He would be a risk and might be crap but just with Brands background of Dutch footie I thought it could be a starter.

The source is sketchy I suppose, none of it makes sense, but here you go.

Exactly dreamers as they say will always be dreams and the people who see it for what it is will not be respected because of their view on these things.

the spending was ridiculous when you look at the mess we are in but it is what it is and I think brands has done a good job but missing out on a CB and a proven striker this summer was criminal but hopefully he can claw it back in Jan
