I think Frank is now my first choice.
LVG seems a bit Redknappy already (we're apparently not his first choice job, talks to the media a lot, narcissist)... :/
They love him!Question is would Jan & Eriksen stay if he signed!!

Maybe but I don't care to much for the
Managers personality, it's the football we play I care about, a lot of the best managers are complete dicks that just life.
We will end up with Moyes.

We will end up with Moyes.
- He does not attract established players or someone he could bring on that, to my knowledge, I would like in the squad. For example, Pochettino have access to Lallana, Shaw, etc
Lots of Champions League experience though. Most managers, like Pochettino, don't have that experience. Plus he has played in the UK, drawing against City (2-2, beating them 3-1 in Amsterdam) and beating United at Old Trafford (2-1).What I dislike about Frank
- Only managerial experience from the Dutch league [and never played in the UK before]
What I like about Frank
- Young [so there is potential for him staying around for a while]
- Accustom to working with youth and talent [and even sell his best player]
- Good at re-building teams [seeing as he is used to sell his best players]
- He will be available after the Dutch season ends. Good for transfers, implementing a new system, settle in, etc [in late July after the world cup ends]
- He is a winner. Ok, it is the Dutch league but as a player he was also a winner e.g. Champions League
- [In theory] he should know a lot of talented players that plays in the Dutch league
What I dislike about Frank
- Only managerial experience from the Dutch league [and never played in the UK before]
- The doping scandal [I know he was cleared after a while, but still]
- Is he just another AVB?
- He does not attract established players or someone he could bring on that, to my knowledge, I would like in the squad. For example, Pochettino have access to Lallana, Shaw, etc
With that said: Overall, Frank is a great risk that might very well pay off... On my list, he is roughly 3rd or 4th battling Pochettino
.I think that kind of thing is greatly overstated. Did AVB land Moutinho or Hulk? Did Moyes land Baines? If anything, players that follow managers from club to club tend to attract higher transfer fees than they would usually do
I keep having that same nightmare!!!We will end up with Moyes.
He played for Rangers along with his brother Ronald
We have 0 chance with Martinez and Ancelotti, mate - might as well take them off the listIn this order for me........
Martinez
Ancelotti
Pochettino.
Spot the common denominator! All have EPL experience. I have been to scared this season, by witnessing good professionals struggling to ply their trade to good effect, when coming from overseas for the first time to do a job. Can't do that again! Get (EPL) experience in. Reduce the negative possibilities. Martinez just pips Ancelotti for me, due to his (long-term) age.
COYS!!
