    In the EPL alone, amongst current managers. I would take anyone except Hughes, Pardew and Moyes. Yes even Allardyce would be an improvement on Wenger.

    But really why can we just go for Luis Enrique. Hes available and is better imo than Tuchel. Announce it today.

Chelsea is a different story and more of a risk.

    We're not a club that can out spend our rivals and need some serious defensive work. The fact that Tuchel's defensive record is sketchy is a concern. What happened against Liverpool can't be ignored. Also, doesn't it concern you that he fell out so quickly with the people around him in two seasons? Worst still, one of the guys he fell out with works here. If we're looking for someone that's not a dictator and can work with staff around him, shouldn't this be a red flag?

    Zim has some harsh words but calling him an idiot for some of the points raised is just as harsh. With only two seasons at Dortmund, it's hard to get a full scope of what he's capable of. But I'd take him over Joachim Low, Arteta or Henry. That's a definite.
    It's one thing saying you'd prefer X guy instead or you don't want him, it's another thing making up ignorant shit like he's mediocre, a loser, overrated or he "failed" when it's clear he has zero idea about how his spell at Dortmund went which is why I called him that.

    And if losing 4 - 3 at Anfield to a Klopp Liverpool side makes you a shit manager then god forbid, I'd like to hear your opinion on Pep. It was one bad result where they threw away what should have been a sure win.

    And I don't think he's any worse at organising a defence than say a Pep is. Moreover it matters less for managers like them because they utterly dominate team offensively to the point where it rarely matters how well their defence is as long as they have some reasonably competent people back there. In fact there's a famous anecdote about how he met Pep for lunch during his gap year and they spent two hours talking and discussing tactics using the salt & pepper shakers.

    And you can't have it both ways PnG. You can't at one point dismiss Bayern & PSG wanting him by saying even Wenger would win the league there but then at the same time clamour for someone like Allegeri who also wins league titles in a league where one club has it dominated. And for the record, I'd be ecstatic with Allegri.

    Wouldn't go that far on Allardyce. He'd make us defensively more secure certainly but we'd struggle to even create a single shot on target.

    Everton fans already want him gone.


    And Tuchel > Luis Enrique tbh.

    The latter didn't do well at Roma.

    Whether you rate Enrique or not and I'm not a big fan, he won the treble including the CL which is a much better achievement than anything Tuchel has done, so right now Enrique is certainly better, Tuchel hasn't proved anything right now.
