The thing that frustrates me with people wanting MP gone, is that I still haven't seen one really appealing suggestion of a replacement. There aren't a whole lot of options out there right now that I think would change our fortunes.

I'm open to firing MP, but I've been saying for a while there has to be a plan and a good replacement. Assuming we can't get the likes of Sean Dyche, I think I'd probably give him the season and evaluate at the end of the year. If anyone can suggest anyone that's not Keane, Strachan or some other relic, then please feel free. Only interesting one I saw was Brendan Rodgers, but he's not exactly a sure thing.

Martin O’Neill with Keane as his assistant
Or Koeman.

Gary Rowett has done well in his jobs at Burton, Birmingham and now Derby. Seems to have a pretty quick turn around in improving struggling sides too.

You mention the relics? O ‘Neill is 65, Hodgson is 70 . Strachan is 60 not quite a relic, what has age got to do with it maybe experience does.

Thomas Tuchel is still out of a job. If he would come to saints it would be a kind of stepping stone into the premier league before he joins a bigger club. People say that saints would be too small for him after managing Dortmund, however he did come from mainz who aren't that much bigger than saints so this could be possible. Others could include Carlo Ancelotti, although this would be very unlikely, Guus Hiddink, Claudio Ranieri, Manuel Pellegrini, or someone younger like Giggs.

Rowett is a good shout but I would rather MP2 than Giggs.

Peter Bosz, Paulo Fonseca, Markus Weinzierl and Brendan Rodgers four names I would have over Pellegrino right now, I’d have loved Gary Rowett but he’s recently signed an extension with Derby.

Tuchel seems really unlikely, although would be incredible. Ancelotti is a laughable suggestion. In fact, I'm just going to gloss over the entire Bod post because its all just ridiculous.

One I haven't heard that to me would seem plausible is Benitez. Must be frustrated with the situation at Newcastle, so I'd have thought we could be an attractive option for him. Despite our league position we have a better foundation for a winning team than Newcastle.

Shinowski I've never heard of Weinzierl and don't know too much about Bosz and Foncesca as managers, but if the club really liked one of them then I'd have no issue with them firing MP and bringing them in.

Benitez would be a good shout should we be able to prize him away from Newcastle. In terms of free agents Koeman is my preferred option if only because he succeeded here once before and has a proven track record at the club.

If rather have Keane as manager instead of oneills assistant. Keane is certainly not a relic. Koeman is laughable. He dropped us in It, stitched us up and he's been found out at Everton. I think he'd lower morale to worse than what it is now. Ancellotti? You're dreaming. Tuchel had no interest in coming in the summer so I couldn't see him coming now. I think Rodgers would do well for us. Rowett would be a good shout but a risk. What has strachan done of not since leaving us over 10 years ago? Nothing. Stop living in the past.
