If it’s a permanent then our only realistic options are de zerbi, a merc from the Saudi league or a punt on a hoeness or similar
All other options are out of our reach like Alonso or they’re managing an international team.
I just don’t see Xavi coming in to save the day either.
If it’s interim then suspect the Dutch guy and either they keep cochrane or bring in another experienced no.2
De Zerbi is available because his Marseille team is an absolute disaster.
 
Has anyone hilariously suggested Tim Sherwood in the last 5 mins?

Tim Sherwood​

  • Appointed: December 2013
  • Left: May 2014
  • Took over after André Villas-Boas was sacked.
  • Initially interim, then given a contract to the end of the season.
📊 Overall Record (All Competitions)
  • Games: 28
  • Wins: 14
  • Draws: 4
  • Losses: 10
  • Win rate: 50%
    🏆 Premier League Record
  • Games: 22
  • Wins: 13
  • Draws: 2
  • Losses: 7
  • Win rate: ~59%
  • League finish: 6th (qualified for Europa League)
🔎 Context & Assessment

Positives
  • Strong league form initially (notably a 3–2 win at Man United).
  • Promoted youth — gave consistent opportunities to Harry Kane, Nabil Bentaleb and others.
  • Points-per-game in the league was solid (around 1.9 PPG).
    Negatives
  • Heavy defeats (e.g., 4–0 vs Liverpool, 4–0 vs Chelsea).
  • Early cup exits (FA Cup 4th round, League Cup 3rd round earlier in season).
  • Public disagreements with players and perceived tactical naivety.
  • Replaced by Mauricio Pochettino that summer.
🧠 Overall Verdict

Statistically, his Premier League record was decent to good, especially short-term.
However, performances were inconsistent, and the club opted for a longer-term rebuild under Pochettino.
 
Imagine the scenes if Poch resigns from the US national team to take the job now to take us to safety and a Champions League title.

There's a universe where that happens.

Admittedly, not this one.
