D.A yup I'm fine with bringing Brendan back to the club as well. He ticks a lot of boxes and I think he'd actually do well here. I wasn't necessarily championing Howe either. More that he's no less a risk than anyone else. Any manager we bring in might not work for a host of reasons.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Brendan was sacked at Liverpool for a reason.
United and Spurs took our ex managers wrongly assuming there was mitigating circumstances to them being sacked here, let's not make the same mistake ourselves.

Wouldn't be the worst appointment in the world, I actually think Zidane's more tactically astute than people give him credit for, and it's just uninspiring.
I hope we stick with Sarri but if we did change I want us to forget the idea of bringing in a manager with any other pretense than to win at all costs, because sacking Sarri will conclusively prove that all that matters to us, and Zidane just isn't enough of a guarantee. Allegri or Simeone would be the two IMO.

Not that the world should revolve round keeping him,,,, but would Haza want to play under Someone: tracking tackling etc

Most managers get sacked at some point in their careers. Ancelotti was sacked by both Parma and then Juve before he came to us. Allegri who often gets talked about as the ideal candidate to come here was previously sacked by Cagliari and AC Milan.

----------------------------------------------------
Because Liverpool saw an opportunity to trade up and seized it. Not many people associated with Liverpool were in the rush to boot him out - board seemed pleased with him, can't recall any players who've said anything negative about him, and the fans were behind him (I don't know why but they were).
I agree he's certainly not perfect, to me he's a classic example of great coach-bad manager, but I'd have him over Howe myself. He's great at developing young players, he's tactically flexible and for us specifically he's got the whole 'one of our own' thing going for him. If we appointed him I'd be very underwhelmed but not overly concerned if that makes sense.

Hey I'm just pleased someone spotted it
I wouldn't say he's one of our own but I'm sure your average non-Chelsea fan has little idea that he started out here as a coach. He knows the club well without a doubt even if there have definitely been changes in that decades or so.
He certainly doesn't top my list but if we wanted a manager purely here to bring all these fantastic youth and young players through and actually playing for the senior team then he'd be the man for the job. Obviously I can't imagine a scenario where the club ever actually did that. Would be fun though.
Can't see us appointing a low profile british manager. That doesn't seem like our style based on the past 15 years.
Sarri's appointment showed that we want to see style, but not at the expense of success. If Sarri is sacked (and nothing surprises me anymore), then Zidane would not be an unreasonable target. I'm not sure he would want it though - we probably need too much rebuilding at this stage.
Personally, I like the sound of Allegri. Again, I have no idea if he would go for a risk like we would undoubtedly be - but he would be my preference. FYI - Simeone just signed a new deal with Athletico.

He is the closest thing we've got to a Pep-Barca scenario, obviously a very backwards version but you know.... it's us
Yep I agree. He's not a "OMG we've got the man" appointment. He's more of a "OH... OK, well why not?" sort of appointment.
All hypothetical anyway, we'd never appoint him in a million years. Not our style.
