We all know what we want and what we need, and it's easy to state what boxes they must tick,Literally anyone who has got a job on merit and not cos of their uncle and name.

But when you look who's out there and who's likely to come here and who we could tempt/afford, it becomes a lot harder than you think.
FL has managed in the champions league, which would makes him unique for us, and apart from Lee Carsley (who was shit as England caretaker boss) I can't think of another manager that would fit DK's requirements.
(Which im guessing are, Youngish, modern approach, statically aware with decent experience and highly regarded in the game)
We dont need Lampard but you're other criteria is spot onWe all know what we want and what we need, and it's easy to state what boxes they must tick,

I'm struggling to think of anyone else that might tickle Doug's fancy!We dont need Lampard but you're other criteria is spot on
That's a myth.
Absolute nonsense. Proven by his record when he returned to Ibrox.Well it isn't. It's pretty much well known especially within footballing ciricles he was the tactician and Gerrard was just the front man.
So finished below what his predecessor did the majority of the timeFrank Lampard's managerial record
2018-19: Derby - 6th in Championship (Lost playoff final). Previous season Derby finished 6th, subsequent season 10th.
2019-20: Chelsea - 4th in Premier League. RO16 Champions League. Previous season Chelsea finished 3rd, had a transfer ban.
2020-21: Chelsea - 9th in Premier League. 1st in CL group. Sacked on 25 Jan. Replacement (Tuchel) finished 4th and won CL.
2021-22: Everton - 16th in Premier League. Joined on 31 Jan, when they were 16th.
2022-23: Everton - 19th in Premier League. Sacked on 23 Jan. Replacement (Dyche) finished 17th
2022-23: Chelsea - 12th in Premier League. Joined on 6 April, when they were 11th. Interim position.

Don't know what people you know in the 'football circle ' but certainly anybody within Ibrox would tell you, that it is nonsense.Because he's a coach not a manager. Very different disciplines.

Which is no insult considering his predecessors at Chelsea and Everton were world class managers…So finished below what his predecessor did the majority of the time
I've been a season ticket holder at Ibrox since I was 8 and I'm now 51 and have never spoken to a fellow Rangers fan who believes that Beale was the brains behind Gerrards successful title winning season.Rangers fans hated him as a manager, yes, but despite being an unbelievably arrogant and utterly bizarre character, they attest that he helped Gerrard hugely as a coach.
But still not professional.lets be clear DK said FL has put a CV in nothing more - along with a host of others hopefully including Van Nistelroy

He's definitely not what we need at the moment at neither is Lampard.Fair enough maybe I got that wrong but Gerrard is still a shit manager and there's a reason why not one club has even entertained him apart from a Saudi club - where he's also doing terribly - since his departure from Villa.
Bloomfield is clearly interested based on his ‘I haven’t heard anything from my club’ comments. I don’t know what I think about having someone learning Championship football on the job in any case.Interestingly Lampard’s odds are drifting and have gone from 1/3 to 4/7.
Bloomfield now clear second favourite at 7/1 followed by Carsley at 8/1 and Keane has drifted all the way out to 9/1.
Basically, even the bookies haven’t got a clue!

We don’t have any leaders among the players already. Having one as a manager seems kind of important also.

Would take Carsley in a heartbeatWould be a fecking disaster. Surely King not that stupid. I wonder if Carsley is a dark horse though people won't like that as it fits into the good players can't make good managers box.

2bf - John Eustace looks to be the stand out candidate. Seems to improve everyone he’s managed, obtainable. We’re more stable then Blackburn and has championship experienceBloomfield is clearly interested based on his ‘I haven’t heard anything from my club’ comments.

this is what we need, a tactician and it sounds like that is what king wantsI don't necessarily think we need someone that 'knows the league'. I find that a bit of an outdated standpoint to be honest.
We need someone that not only can get the most out of the current crop of players, but is able to find a system that works to their strengths and isn't trying to experiment like every game is a pre-season friendly.
Not to mention is tactically fluid and can seamlessly pivot if he feels the game isn't going our way or the opposition is stifling his Plan A.
Eustace isn't a good manager , short term improvements,long term clueless2bf - John Eustace looks to be the stand out candidate. Seems to improve everyone he’s managed, obtainable. We’re more stable then Blackburn and has championship experience

I’m not saying we need a Chris Wilder or Neil Warnock type, but Bloomfield has only managed in L1 with relatively recent success over not much time. Not to mention he is well established at Wycombe anyway.I don't necessarily think we need someone that 'knows the league'. I find that a bit of an outdated standpoint to be honest.

Liam Rosenior seemed the best of those mentioned to me. The brains behind Rooney at Derby and got Hull playing some good stuff.2bf - John Eustace looks to be the stand out candidate. Seems to improve everyone he’s managed, obtainable. We’re more stable then Blackburn and has championship experience
