New manager

Who would take this job?

We know that it involves:

• being set targets which you can meet and still get sacked
• no real control over transfer policy
• outsiders (in the sense of not being part of the football staff) coming into the dressing room
• getting undermined in the press from the other side of the world
• glorification of the great leader at the expense of everything else
• instability inside the club and outside. The possibility of everything imploding at any minute.

Other fans on Bluemoon have mentioned Scolari, Jol, Mourinho, Lippi, Bilic and many more. This is absurd! These are respected managers with good reputations and big egos. Would they really take on this poisoned chalice?

Of course they wouldn't. We'll get some mercenary yes-man, eager to make a few million pounds and some decisions he knows will get overruled from the board room. Radomir Antic? Winnie Schaefer? Wanderlei Luxemburgo? Otto Pfister?
