Voted who I would like "Davide Ancelotti" would be a massive gamble but could easily work...OR FAIL :)
We should learn from how the nurturing of Arteta under Guardiola turned out.

Who knows, maybe success breeds success :)

It's a risk worth taking because I'd fancy Ancelotti's window cleaner to be able to set up a team better than Dyche.
 
Very hard to call.

I do think its time though that we appointed in hope rather than fear.

That may mean higher risk but conversely this cycle that we're in needs to be broken.

I like Henrik Rydstrom. But would he be another Christian Gross?

I like Kasper Hjulmand too. But limited experience outside Mitjylland and failed at Mainz. International football does not translate.

Graham Potter still seems like a good bridge between higher risk and lower risk, and is more progressive than conservative.

It's all opinions. I'd still make Moyes favourite. That seems a much easier appointment to make if he's willing

Jep, I switched these options quite much around. Had another names in my head like McKenna, Streich etc...
 

I think Thomas Frank would be fantastic, breath of fresh air moving forward. Guardiola’s recent comments back that up, high praise.

Potter as a second choice. Both tick a load of boxes for a major re set. Just hope Dyche can turn it around to a degree until the new owner is in place.

Once the ownership matter is over I’d like to see it done immediately and think these two potential new custodians would move quickly on this front. We’ll see I guess!
 
I know it's been done to death but I dont really get the love for Potter.
He did well in Sweden
He did well at BHA but they've clearly shown that their set up is so well organized even an average manager could succeed.
He did a terrible job at Chelsea
We dont have the kind of players or the organized structure he'd need to succeed.
We're basically chelsea without the talent.
Dont see what makes people think he'd succeed at Everton.

Edit. He also got really upset with a few Brighton fans calling him out, he'd last a few months at Everton and that would be that.
 

Think this is where PSR really puts clubs in their place - a new manager would want new players and only the clubs with revenue can do that within the rules.

So, im not sure fantasising about managers that want to splash the cash is really worth it yet.

Are there good coaches / man managers out there who can get the best out of what we have ?
