Last night I had a dream that Carlo Ancelotti joined us and we went on to win the European Cup.

I wish I had Albion dreams like this.

Mine often starts off with something like my girlfriend going off with Jacob Moder, so I end up at a wedding with Gus Poyet as the best man for some reason, followed by my teeth falling out inexplicably, while finding out that I'm in fact naked in front of the whole church, which as it turns out, is also my former Year 8 classroom.

Another factor here is our ability to take advantage of the pre 30th January PSR opportunities as it’s going to be harder to convince players to join if they don’t know who the manager is. We need to get our finger out.
^ This. We can "be patient" and wait for "the right manager", but without a coaching staff in place, I've got to imagine our player recruiting is effectively on hold.

I think most players would want to chat with the coach before agreeing to join a team.

We seem to have become a stepping stone club for literally every position and role within the club. Praps offering something a little more lucrative to retain our talent, could have just a positive outcome as this so called 'succession plan' which seems to be running dry. Let's be honest, bar Bloom and PBOBE, it has been a little rediculous the amount of movement across the club over the past 18 months against a backdrop of record Premier League profits.
The best manager we probably have ever had gone and I doubt we will ever really know why as Naylor and co don’t like reporting truths if it sheds a bad light.
It’s been portrayed as RDZ was the bad guy and everyone seems to have sucked it up with Naylor’s spin on transfers.
No mention of the fact we went to Fati and Igor because they failed to get the top targets over the line.

It now appears the top of the manager list aren’t interested players want out, recruitment staff leave as soon as a new project comes their way. It’s all a bit up in the air at the moment.

That all sounds completely believable apart from a Swedish football manager needing an interpreter

A bit like RDZ's interpreter ...

I still think we have someone else up our sleeve and that’s why Cooper’s camp are trying to stir up that we are competing with others for him.
Jacob Neestrup is my guess. He’s admitted that he’s had approaches ( not naming anyone)
Last game of the season for Copenhagen this weekend so we haven’t been able to move before now.
One thing for sure is that we won’t be rushed into a decision.
Cooper could do a job, of course,

Obviously we don't want to be rushed but we really have to get the manager in quickly as we need to do player business fairly urgently before we are left with the scraps. Depressingly palace are signing quality left right and centre.

This is my guess as well. Would make sense on a lot of levels.

Copenhagen third in a gash league this season. Again despite punching above their weight in the champions league, a bit risky.

The transfer window doesn't open for another 2 weeks!

If you're talking about Wharton, he was signed when RDZ was in charge here.
