So the season we fail to qualify, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich

[Sir C]

are all beatable. Timing really is everything, isn't it? Those bloody Scousers are going to walk it.

Bayern look a really old team all of a sudden.

[Tony C]

Maybe we should get an ex player in as manager...that Zidane chap seems a bit good imo

Unfortunately our lot all seem to have their issues -

GOD10 - doesn’t fly
Adams - nice dance moves but a bit of a loon
Vieira - in City’s back pocket
Arteta - see Vieira
Bouldie - yes man
Remi - failed manager
Overmars - too short
Henry - all talk...should walk into Ivan’s office and demand it...Mickey and Gunnersaurus will help him get in...but he’s happy with his TV work and whatever it is he does in Belgium.

Only really leaves...

Lunatic Nelson Vivas - doing a decent job in Argentina
Giovanni - would be a bold appointment
Sol23 - the same...

Of all those options the one I'd love to see is Vivas. That would be constantly amusing.

Mind you, a season under Fruitloop Campbell would be quite the soap opera, wouldn't it?

This assertion of yours sadly ignores are own stellar performance levels of course. :cough:

The banter would be lovely, though.

Being ‘bold’ is something that both Ivan and Arsene have used to discuss our choice of manager. To me this suggests a choice has been made that is perhaps not the obvious choice. Whether that’s an ex player (Arsene even said that this would be positive) or someone like Ragnick remains to be seen.

I do think it rules out a big name coach, though.

It could also suggest going for a big name, something for which we're not famed. You can't take any of the ex player candidates seriously. I mean, look what happened to the prodigal Shearer as he wandered through the gates of St James's with the life raft.

Nelson Vivas...here’s him ripping his shirt off in rage about a bad decision vs Boca

[Tony C]

To be fair Giovanni Van Bronckhorst is the biggest name of the lot imo lol

[Tony C]

In his first full season, Van Bronckhorst led Feyenoord to win the 2015–16 KNVB Cup after the club defeated Utrecht 2–1 in the final.

In his second season, Van Bronckhorst won the Eredivisie title, Feyenoord's first in 18 years.

....sounds promising imo
