The news came as a massive surprise to me, as it felt like we were finally (finally! ) turning a corner. A new manager next season brings opportunity but also plenty of risk at a time when we can ill afford more failure.

What does the process from here look like Ed002? Will the club have a priority name in mind to try and agree a deal for? I know you previously mentioned they would turn to Amorim - is that still the case?

{Ed002's Note - The club have been speaking to representatives of coaches to see what interest they would have in taking to the job and that has led to a shortlist but their first choice is awaiting another job, and their second choice is of interest to two high profile clubs. So next a decision needs to be made to cut down the list further and look to making an offer.

Right now there are a number of other high profile clubs looking for new coaches as well - Bayern Munich, Milan, Barcelona, Juventus and Manchester United - so it will be hard work.}

Hi Ed

Would that first choice be Thiago Motta who is seemingly close to Juventus?

{Ed002's Note - No. Motta is moving to Juventus.}

Is first choice De Zerbi?

{Ed002's Note - There is no point explaining as it will lead to the usual abuse.}

Ed002 is stuttgart manager a option that would be willing to join?

{Ed002's Note - He is an option but not the prepared option.}

I’d guess - alonso first choice and his
Waiting for Madrid

2nd choice, maybe Amorim, was heavily linked before poch,

Then there’s, de zerbi, Thomas Frank, stuttgart manager, McKenna all amongst those on the list, are we a more attractive job than those teams, United may have security under sir Jim, we’re being called a “ basketcase “ in media.
