and now we need to pick someone to manager them.

Usual drill. Have a chat about who you think is best. A poll will be added when it looks like we have a few to pick between.
 
It's not a 4-4-2 so it already discounts 2 of our PL managers who would just get confused.

I think with the selection we have he ought to be able to make a 4-4-2, Bale could even make it a wobbly in a free role.

I think Ossie should manage this team. He can push Modric forward for a Famous Five.
 
Poch is clearly the absolute standout. Highest league finish since 1989-90 season, our only genuine title tilt since the early 60s, and the only time in the EPL era we've had an identify and the whole fan base has been united round a common vision and purpose.

Honourables to Jol (a good guy who made real progress) and Ramos (the 2008 LC win was the biggest highlight of this 24 year period)

But for me Poch is already pushing Burkinshaw and Rowe for the title of our second greatest manager of all time, let alone the EPL era.
 
Jol started our rise from mid-table obscurity so he should get a mention, but it has to be Poch because of what he has done to get us out of the nearly ( top four) men.

I get why you think Poch is the best but you can't just airbrush out Redknapp no matter how much you dislike him. He punched through the top 4 glass ceiling which at the time didn't look possible unless you had mega-millions to spend.
AVB record points haul still worthy of a footnote in this discussion despite the dreadful football of season 2.

Or lucked out by Comolli's squad maturing at the right time, good at liberating talented players, but never more than the sum of our parts, and was short-termist/unsustainable (no investment in the foundations/youth)

Significantly less than the sum of our parts IMO.
