For a caretaker he's a excellent choice. He did the same at RB Leipzig when Hassenhuttl resigned and he took the reigns for a full season before Leipzig were able to get their preferred target which was Nagelsmann. And in that season, Leipzig achieved the best defensive record in the league which Nagelsmann couldn't better and Leipzig scored a similar amount of goals as what Nagelsmann's teams produced.Possibly. That's why I asked. He's currently a sporting director in Russia. Hardly a glowing endorsement is it?
Hardly think the creator of the gengenpress is what we need with Ronaldo either. That won't work with Ronnie.
What's Avram Grant doing these days
Last I saw of him was in that Dune movie where he was regenerating in a pool of dark oilish liquid.
So he is available then?
Not sure about that. The "young British core" bollocks was consigned to the bin ages ago, i.e. prior to the signing of Bruno. Cavani, Varane and Ronaldo are hardly British. Or young...He is English
It’s important for this new wave of English nationalism that there is inside the club
Few years? I think you have misunderstood the word "caretaker"...Ralf Rangnick? Really? Is that the answer? The guy has never won a league title or European trophy as a coach and we want to put him in the hot seat against Pep, Klopp and Tuchel.
We have to separate the 'being better than Ole' managers from the ones good enough to actually deliver the expectations the fans have surely? Otherwise surely it's just another few years wasted again?
Not overly inspired by that choice at all. Am I being too harsh there? Is he going to put the fear back into our domestic rivals?
Big Sam?

If the right candidate isn't available till the summer, you appoint an competent interim until then. We need someone to salvage this season because we're in huge danger of finishing outside top 4 and getting elimated at CL group stage if we persist with Ole.
It's hard and could become even harder as we're expecting same people who appointed LvG, Mou & Ole will suddenly step out of their comfort zone and do the right decision.Rangnick
Favre
Wenger
Valverede
Koeman
Blanc
Come on, why is to so hard ? We need a change now.
A side that couldn't pass to save their collective lives?I would be happy with bringing LvG back for the rest of the season but I doubt he would entertain it after how the club treated a manager like him that was actually trying to help evolve our football compared to how they have accommodated much more time to moyes 2.0 in ole who is purely only out for himself and not for the benefit of the club hence all the chopping and changing of players, formation and tactical set ups.
This side would be tailor made for LvG as we now have the goalscorers that we lacked under him when he was in charge with the likes of Greenwood, ronaldo and cavani.
Only because ole favours defensive players and physical attributes over technically gifted players.A side that couldn't pass to save their collective lives?
Not sure I can agree hereOnly because ole favours defensive players and physical attributes over technically gifted players.
Matic, sanco and van der beek would definitely be in an LvG side over mctominay, fred and bruno
'Ajax style of play' is playing possession football. And ten Hag's teams have combined a direct style with emphasis on possession by applying high pressure. Koeman would be the wrong choice in that regard and so would LVG, who plays a patient possession game.If we are in for the Ajax boss, why not start buiding the foundations by getting Koeman or Van Gaal to steady the ship so that we are better prepared for the Ajax style of play?
Ah ok. What's Favre up to nowadays? Edit: he seems to be in line for permanent managerial jobs. I seriously doubt he would take a caretaker role till the end of the season.'Ajax style of play' is playing possession football.

The guy who might be available and implements a brand of football that could potentially prepare our players for ten Hag, is someone like Lucien Favre.
Would Blanc or Favre or Rangnick really accept a caretaker role ?
I feel we are in really terrible position. Worrisome.
I've heard that Rangnick would - he's 63 and primarily works as a DoF now. He seems like a logical choice which means there's a 100% chance it won't happen.
You know what the funny thing is, our most experienced coach works in our recruitment department and goes by the name of Marcel Bout. He's Dutch and has worked as assistant manager under both LVG and Jupp Heynckes. The club could do a lot worse than asking him to step in temporarily and he could lay the ground work for his Dutch compatriot ten Hag, if I'm to speak hypothetically.Ah ok.

That's a really interesting idea. How a Bout him then?
