It's all there to be done. If we can pull in a couple of good forwards and two paces wing backs then we will be on to something special. By then some of our academy guys may have cut their teeth. We've been saying this for a while now though, haven't we? On the cusp of putting together a solidly decent side, a couple of players, "if only we had" the overused catchphrase of the moment.

This guy could be our saviour.. Young, with progressive ideas and, like Roy Hodgson, multi-lingual BUT 44 years younger! And unlike RH in every other respect! "Meet Will Still – the English manager, 31, flying highest in Europe" (Times article today) A quote about Reims: "Before we were 5-4-1, defensive, boring and I said, 'Stuff it' let's have a go, we are conceding a s*** load of goals in any case. So we turned it on its head and now we are 5th in Ligue 1" Nothing ventured, nothing gained and I think he could bring on our youngsters and save a shed load of transfer cash. Prefer him to Cooper, Potter or Rodgers.

From my perspective he is relatively inexperienced as a manager so to thrust him into a PL cauldron might be a high-risk strategy. However if we get relegated..... !

Edited by Willo (29 Nov 2023 2.00pm) That sounds a good plan and one that may be needed!

Steve Cooper and Gary O'Neil are the two most sensible and viable options for me.

My recollection was the other way round; after in depth discussions with Cooper, Palace were uncertain and there were split opinions amongst the decision makers. Hence, they never made him an offer and turned their attentions elsewhere.

I like the Bournemouth manager, Andoni Iraola, done well at real Valecano, or Gary O´Neill, but i still think it will be Paddy.

Paddy,apparently,was very pleased for some reason, with our performance against Arsenal in our 4-1 thrashing in his one game in charge and clearly lacks any experience in the Premiership,although may well thrive should we find ourselves in the Championship.
