Although unlikely we need to really go for it, try to push as much as possible for a top coach, someone the players can't help but to respect.
Laurent Blanc
Roberto Mancini
Carlo Anchelotti
Luis Enrique
We're in the richest, most exciting league in the world. 18 months ago we won the damn Premier League. It's not completely bonkers to go for the above targets. I feel that we have a talented squad that are nowhere near their best atm.
Blanc would be an inspired choice, a title win at Bordeaux in 2009, before he took France to the last eight of Euro 2012, and then led PSG to three-straight French titles is impressive.
Perhaps Marco Silva would be interested in us? We promise him higher wages, better stadium, and imo a better squad.
Other employed managers - David Wagner? Espirito Santo? Julian Nagglesman at Hoffenheim? Dyche would be interesting. I'm not completely convinced by him, but he seems to be doing well with "limited resources' so far this season.
Chris Coleman is the most uninspiring suggestion thus far, Sam Allardyce shortly behind him. I'd even rather have Pardew over those two. Ideally not Coleman, Big Sam, Big Alan or any others like them.
