I’ve seen a burton fan suggest that it’s a sign they’ve sold Webster to us, and it’s part of that deal. 99% likely to be tin foil hat, but who knows

Hake looks interesting, a few underwhelming spells but did well at Go Ahead Eagles. This is worth a read. https://totalfootballanalysis.com/article/rene-hake-go-ahead-eagles-tactical-analysis-tactics-analysis id take him over Martin but he doesn’t blow me away

Challinor to us, Martin to Leuven

It’s making me dislike the fact we won the premier league…the amount of posting over a charity match that finished 0-0 is mind numbing

If I’m Challinor, I’d probably see us as the more attractive job. Zero compensation, proven promotion winner - we should be all over it.

Is Top back over for this?

It’s a great game of “did they play for Stoke or West Brom” tbh

What an EFL all stars team that is. Can’t help but feel the club announced this match would take place and then about a month later thought “****ing hell we best actually see who can play”

If he wants a career as a head coach then probably, made an almighty mess of the Salzburg job - but would probably get a lot out of our situation, youth team and training facilities.

Tielemans never looks bothered by the occasion when it comes to long shots - has a really good ability to just focus on the technique. also quite underrated by our fan base, was brilliant for us for vast majority of his time.

Deeply concerned about his record without Adi Viveash

I hear Tonda Eckert will be available soon

Johnny Kenny from Celtic. Great record on loan at Bolton after January, and the right age profile too. Imagine they look to strengthen at centre forward in the summer which might just keep him out of the first team picture again

Raheem Sterling doesn’t miss the penalty against Chelsea in the cup. They go on to spank us 6-0. Chelsea then don’t have any interest in Enzo that summer. We still get promoted, don’t sell KDH and despite a points deduction Enzo keeps us up. Top then gets offered too much money to turn down and the club is sold to new ownership.

Id happily take Cozier Duberry as Abdul’s replacement

Kante, Mahrez and Vardy in 15-16, however, the latter two solely on form. Peak Kante was just a cheat code, and he showed it the next season at Chelsea, then with France in the World Cup and when Chelsea in the champions league. Just an incredibly gifted generational footballer in that role

For me it’s: Ambitious/Big Name Patrick Vieira Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Will Still Lee Carsley Unpopular “style” pick Russell Martin Ruben Selles Wilfried Nancy Sensible Dave Challinor Nigel Pearson Tony Mowbray Left Field Jimmy Thelin - ex Aberdeen Andreas Engelmark - Sirius Albert Sanchez - Dunkerque, former Barca B

Can’t we all agree on who we want it to be, someone stick £20 on so the odds fall and then we all go onto twitter and say how it would be an amazing appointment - the reverse Russel Martin trick

I’d say that’s a very low bar

The more I think about it, the more Dave Challinor is the overwhelmingly strong candidate that would join us

Great find @ClaphamFox With our mugs in charge I’d very much guess that their scenario planning did not include relegation - however, sounds like KP have £126m aside for us. I’d imagine that sees us through the next two seasons.

Can answer my own question - Bet Victor Oh dear

This would fall nicely under the “our expectations were low but holy ****” but as many others have said - where the hell is he 1/4?

Charlie Webster, Louie Barry and Ethan Pye

Exactly where I’m at with this - it’s either a) journalist has just spouted utter tripe b) club have no interest in him but feeding a name to look active and ambitious c) we actually are deluded enough to think he’d leave the europa league, and likely next in line at Ajax/PSV/Feyenoord to coach a league 1 side with financial issues. all 3 are probably equally likely.
