That manager needs to play attacking aggressive football though. Jose would never do that.
I always admired the young Poch. He was very ruthless at the beginning. He got rid of everyone he wanted out of the squad over 18 months.

He then accumulated just as many clowns during his 5 year stint at the club.

Well this is it he then turned into the complete opposite.
My point was though whoever comes in needs to do what a young Poch did when they arrive.

Tbh he was like a breath of fresh air when he was first appointed. Working under Levy's strict guidelines however nearly broke him. He's had a lucky escape, not too many others were as fortunate.

It's easier to be ruthless when they aren't players you signed.
That ended up being Poch's weakness. Not many managers can be that ruthless now. It has too large an affect on the team.
The real key is making sure you sign the right players in the first place and our record in recent years has gotten worse and worse.

Managed squad turnover is key to sustained success. SAF was the master. City, RM and PSG do it as well.
Those are the operations we should be looking at.

We don't stand an earthly as we don't have the funds or the pulling power of the Euro heavyweights.

Because he's going to Bayern. He's openly stated he'd like the job.

If he had any sense he wouldn't come anywhere near here. He has better options elsewhere.

Hence why we need to sell Kane and Son.
Then we can get rid of the tripe like Gaz, Aurier, Doherty, Rose, Dier, Sissoko, Lamela.
Vinnie and Bale going back from their loans as well.
We have to generate our own funds which we have done time and time again over the last 20 years.

Problem is he'd be off at the first opportunity he got.

We don't have the funds or the pulling power to compete against these guys so we tend to buy at the bargain store. Well that's not entirely true, we have smashed our own transfer record by bringing in Lo Celso & Ndombele.

Another reason why I think getting Parker on board is a good move is because he is far more likely to stay longer even if he is a massive success. That was the issue hanging over Poch for so long - we had no idea if he was going to jump ship to a bigger job for a good few seasons. It was even his undoing in the end.
Give Parker a project. Even if he works miracles and wins a cup or two and consistently gets us within touching distance of PL titles, I don't think he'd get tempted. Childhood Spurs fan, a team he played for, even captained at times. That stability would be a great thing for this team.
The main problem will be Levy though. The bloke is dead set on getting Rodgers, who could be a bad move. My thoughts on Rodgers are, why leave Leicester and the great team you've worked hard to create? And worse yet, if he does leave Leicester to join us, he proves he would jump ship for a "bigger" job at the first opportunity.
Not exactly good for a project.
