We would still have our fans though and I don't know about you, but I am pretty crap.

Theres absolutely no way of knowing who would work and who wouldn't outside of the very obvious ones. It's a bit of a pointless discussion.

For example if you're taking another manager with the exact squad then probably not too many. However how many of these managers buys Antony Onana Mount etc? How far you winding the clock back basically.

And that's coming from a big I fan

bollocks.

It's too many crap players in the squad ...

... most of whom were there before he arrived.

Granted he should have sacked them, but then he's not the only one in recent years that hasn't done that in time

I think OP is massively underestimating the state of the current situation.

There is only about 4-5 managers in the whole world I'd say would do much better given the circumstances at the moment.

AFC Bournemouth Andoni Iraola No
Arsenal Mikel Arteta No
Aston Villa Unai Emery Yes
Brentford Thomas Frank No
Brighton & Hove Albion Roberto De Zerbi No
Burnley Vincent Kompany No
Chelsea Mauricio Pochettino No
Crystal Palace Oliver Glasner No
Everton Sean Dyche No
Fulham Marco Silva No
Liverpool Jurgen Klopp No
Luton Town Rob Edwards No
Manchester City Pep Guardiola Yes
Newcastle United Eddie Howe No
Nottingham Forest Nuno Espirito Santo No
Sheffield United Chris Wilder No
Tottenham Hotspur Ange Postecoglou Yes
West Ham United David Moyes No
Wolverhampton Wanderers Gary O'Neil No

It also depends on are we taking about them coming in a 2-3 years ago, or if they had taken over last summer summer?
I think Emery would have done best with only 1 pre-season.
