Volatile sort, ain't you?Answer the question or shut the fuck up.
Who do they think we can realistically bring in that will deliver on the following:
1) Close the gap on the Dippers and Citeh. - Simeone.
2) Win at least one trophy EVERY season. - Impossible task.
3) Deliver exciting attacking football. - Ossie Ardiles (he did it before).
4) Get his tactics spot on EVERY single game. - Mourinho (he won't listen to anyone say different).
5) Give bland non-controversial press conferences. - Garth Crooks.
6) Be able to achieve all of this whilst working under Levy and the ownership of ENIC. - Ah I see, it's all Levy's fault.

Because that is what people are demanding right? What a warped world you live in.
If you’re asking who is a better manager well try Conte, Ancelotti, Allegri and possibly even Simeone who we could attract for a start.
But we are nothing without Poch right (careful what you wish for).
None of those managers would deliver attacking football though, Carlo once but not anymore.
Try again!
Do you seriously think any of those managers would come here given our recent transfer net spend history?
Honest question not even looking for a cunt off.
My thoughts on the matter are, Poch got us here. So he should be given at least another season or two to try and take us to the next level.
This is the first season in a while where it feels like we actually made high quality signings. None of them have bedded in (or even been fit for that matter). So he deserves respect and patience this season I think.
If it wasn’t for the Newcastle result none of this would even be given air time.

The style of play at Juve and Chelsea under Conte and Allegri was good .
The football Ancelotti had Chelsea and Real playing was very attractive.
So no I won’t ‘try again’.
But why do you care about attacking football all of a sudden when we haven’t played that for nearly 12 months? Care to point where you have criticised our current manager for this?
Yes - we were able to bring Ramos here when we 10th in the league and he was one of the hottest managerial properties around.
I would imagine all of those managers would kill to get access to the group of players we have.
The whole net argument is a fatuous one - most clubs operate a relatively low net spend. All of the Poch apologists go on about Liverpool’s spend and yet their average is lower than Evertons.
Conte is at Inter who don’t have our financial resources, Ancelloti even less so at Napoli, Allegri doesn’t have a job whilst Simeone has always had to sell his best players to finance his spend.
And given that we have just spent massively in the summer it’s also pointless to continue with this poverty narrative.
You've just got a hard on for Italian football mate but you know what, at least you answered the question so fair play.
The only one of those of want I is Simeone BUT it's obvious that he has zero interest in coming to the PL so that's a non-starter.
My list was based more on the all the complaints from fellow fans rather than my own personal views.
Carlo is way past his peak, Allegri is a cunt, Conte managed the Chavs and Diego doesn't want to manage in England.
I'll stick with Poch thank you very much, the man that is responsible for doing so well that he has turned elements of our fanbase into moaning self-entitled brats.

It’s not based on their Italian achievements but their PL ones. A past his prime Ancelotti is still superior to Poch and I doubt anyone would care that he and Conte managed Chelsea previously especially given that latter has taken them to the high court. As for Allegri - perhapes we need that after the likes of Poch nice guy approach - most of the games elite managers are often nasty pieces of work. Simeone has been learning English and given that the PL is thee elite league and he just screams winner I would be amazed that he didn’t want to actually manage here.
Why do you think Levy hasn't sacked Poch and appointed one from your list?
And do you think he's failing in his job for not doing so?
This whole tiny Poch out movement is ridiculous.
If there's anyone to blame for lack of trophies in recent years, it's Levy.
Ffs
Totally agree. Poch wanted to start the rebuild last summer but Levy fucked around and couldn't even bring in one measly signing. Some fans on here are becoming quite toxic imo. It's one thing to criticise when things aren't going well but some have lost all sense of proportion.
We need to stick together, there are enough people outside the club wanting us to fail and criticise us at every turn we don't need some of our own fans to do the same.
What age are you 10? So avb and sherwood didn't deserve more time?
It's simply not acceptable to put in such a limp performance against a team like Newcastle. Steve Bruce managed Newcastle. Mike Ashley owned Newcastle. No great players Newcastle. 2 shots on target! 2 shots! Three of the easiest points of the season flushed down the toilet.
Poch "there wasn't (sic) any players available that we felt improved what we had" not sure what anyone could have done about that on our budget.
Unless he's been lying to make himself look bad and Levy look good, people are just making stuff up, I'm sure Poch wanted to sign a dozen players in 2018 but they weren't available at the fees, or the salaries, we could then afford .... Poch's words not mine and the reality which we lived in at the time.
Why still talk about 2018 when we've just had 2019? Poch now has pretty much the entire squad that made the CL Final (no Tripps or Llorente) plus three new quality signings .... we should be getting better
This year will be transitioning the old to the new ... fans of the "now, now, now" persuasion will post endlessly that's it's a disaster, Levy's a cunt, Poch needs sacking, all the players are shit, sadly we all know that's going to happen ... but fans who've seen it all before will accept that the new "five year plan" is designed to pay off in years four and five not in year one .... a bit of patience is required
That said with the massive squad we now have a domestic cup win must be a real possibility, Poch would be foolish not to give them some serious focus this year.
Not that I mentioned either of them but what exactly did AVB or Sherwood do to deserve more time? Please let me know oh wise one born in '64
