Looks a bit of a handful.

I'll put José Mourinho in your maybe pile then.

Probably not, but Scott Parkers 16.67% does leap out.

Did a quick check on Wikipedia (apologies for any inaccuracies) to see each unemployed candidate's win % at the club listed. van Nistelrooy, van Bronckhorst and Pascal Jansen all looks to have something about them. Roberto De Zerbi (Brighton) 42.7% win rate Graham Potter (Brighton) 31.1%...

Hummels and Reus?

I think last nights Champions League final was evidence that Martin Samuel is wrong. Borussia Dortmund have been doing it for years. It only fails if you're not very good at it, but that can be said of anything. Last season was an anomaly, we sold our 2 best players and suffered season ending...

On last nights performance, I'd say yes please. I thought he was outstanding up against Vinicius Junior, one of Dortmund's best players on the night. And while we're at it, maybe we should try for Edin Terzić? He was nearly sacked in December and only has a year left on his contract.

40/1, that's the same price as Kieran Mckenna. John Terry and Steve Bruce are 33/1

Realistically, who's available and likely to join us, that isn't a downgrade on De Zerbi? Whoever we go for, let's not forget that Leicester fans were hugely underwhelmed by Claudio Ranieri's appointment.

He is a good coach, but flawed. He fell out with the club in January over transfers and tried to bully Tony publicly into changing club policy. Then, in our first game in February, against Palace, he immediately picks up a third yellow card for the season which leads to a touchline ban for the...

Nice are owned by Ineos, they can sell the role as a precursor to the Man Utd job. Who knows, we may be looking to do the same with USGs coach Alexander Blessin?

Well he should have been. After going AWOL because he didn't get what he wanted in January, he only managed to beat Sheffield Utd, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa (who were very out of sorts, having been knocked out of Europe 3 days earlier). In 19 league games this calender year he picked...

True. So I ran a tactical analysis report, on his Hull City of this season, through GPT4o to see what it said. Labeling Liam Rosenior purely as a "defensive manager" might be an oversimplification. While Rosenior has certainly improved Hull City's defensive solidity since his appointment, his...

Hull sacked him because of his defensive playing style. The owner wanted more attacking football.
