Is this a serious thread or will it degenerate into suggestions of Peter Sissons, Jimmy Krankee and the bloke who played the second Joey in Bread by the third page?

The problem with this "who do you replace him with" nonsense is that if your answer in 1996 was Arsene Wenger, you'd have been sniggered at, so he doesn't need to be a superstar, abeit Guardiola would be great & you wouldn't turn down Mourinho. Both of those two had to start slowly, I'm not sure of Louw's background but he's made a name for himself pretty quickly. Redknapp has got Spurs better than us & playing better football and is a name (probably rightly) - we'd never have considered
Who's to say Stojkovic or Remi Garde say, couldn't come in & be a success? Brendan Rogers has done a phenomenal job, Brian McDermott's an ex player, one of the only successes we have, works wonders at Reading, or even Steve Bould.
Somewhere, in the 82 odd English clubs, I'm convinced there is a manager who could successfully manage a top 4 side as well as Wenger, AVB, Scolari, Benitez, Ancelotti, Dalgliesh - it's just finding them - and convincing a load of millionaire prima-donnas, that they can be just as good.
You're not going to turn down Pep or Mourinho for them but they'd be a good as plenty of other big names.
My personal choice would be Jurgen Klopp, and yes i would turn down Mourinho...i hate the man, i hate the way his teams (Real Madrid aside as he can't get away with it there) strangle the life out of a game and reduce it to a tawdry spectacle. I hate the way he is not satisfied without upsetting other people seemingly for no reason either.he has no respect for anything or anyone.
Jose Mourinho
Will never happen but hes probably the only man who can turn us around
Showed his defensive know how whilst at Chelsea, brilliant at Inter and now playing the best football in the business with Real
Mourinho, as has been said it will never happen but he'd get the team playing as a unit and would turn us into a winning team again.
mourinho is unproven on a restricted budget and thats what he'd be working with so not him.
klopp or someone I guess.
