Whoever it is, it will be a star. Edit @Kosh check this out and wait for the solo at the end. This is absolute mint.

Probably working!
I reckon you’d have seen him at left-back if he was fit tris season.

The one gripe people shouldn’t have about Potter is using players in different positions. He made them all so comfortable on the ball that we saw the shoots of the fantastically fluid football that followed. I can’t think of any manager who was better at changing things in-game. Our ability to seamlessly switch between different formations during the match was what made him stand out. Chelsea’s players were never going to accept being asked to take unfamiliar roles but it would have been to the team’s benefit if they’d stuck with it long term.

Potter had his faults - a slightly uninspiring public demeanour high on the list - but he’s definitely a good coach..
We’re not allowed to shout shoot, remember? It puts the players off!

Here's a list of some real candidates in no real order: Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Graham Potter, Niko Kovac, Quique Setien, Kjetil Knutsen, Rafael Benitez, Gerhard Struber, Will Still, Michael Carrick, Claude Puel, Dieter Hecking, Steve Cooper, Laurent Blanc, Scott Parker, Pascal Jansen, Michael Beale, Marti Cifuentes, Johannes Thorup, Ruud van Nistelrooy.

I'm adding also a short guide to the little-to-no-chance-in-hell. Print it out and put it in your fridge:

100% certain

These people are not going to be our manager next season:

Erik Ten Hag
Mauricio Pochettino
Or any other manager tied to a £10m-a-year-contract (with one unlikely but possible exception)

These people are also not going to be our manager next season:

Thomas Frank
Gary O'Neil
Or any other manager tied to any established Premier League club

Another guy who won't be our manager next season:

Gareth Southgate
Or any other manager in desperate need of a long vacation in July/August

99% certain

These aren't managing us, because they haven't really done anything except being around in the distant past:

Russell Martin
Liam Rosenior
Or any of our ex players

These people won't come because they can't behave like normal people:
Thomas Tuchel
Jose Mourinho

These people won't manage us because they're in the Champions League:
Paulo Fonseca
And probably every other manager in charge of a top 4 team in a top 5 league

95% certain

This guy won't be our manager next season because someone is willing to pay him five times more than we are:

Kieran McKenna

So who are we going with?

Note on post above:
All the managers listed at the top belong to the "possible candidates" category I accidently left at the bottom as well :LOL: - I actually don't think we will go with Graham Potter. But I really don't think we're going with anyone of the frequently discussed names either. My list of names is a lot more likely to be true than the lists of the bookies. #footballoracle.

Is this Delusional Sunday?

ETH or maybe Pioli?

Dream on!!

In all fairness, there's no reason why we can't appeal to high profile bosses these days. Has happened many times in the past to clubs of our stature.

It's gonna be Super Graham Potter though. 🤞

No idea what is Super about the Boring Brummie but then again I probably need a history lesson about the easy life with such Emotional Intelligence, still it is what it is.

IF he did come back (and I'm 99.99999% certain that it'll never happen as our manager), does the other ultra-bore Swansman get to come back?

Not sure which would be worse tbh.
