Emery is a decent shout, as is De Boer, with De Boer maintaining Koeman's 433 if he got the job, so it wouldn't rock the tactical boat, so to speak. Pelllegrini has worked well with similar teams like Villareal and Malaga, especially Malaga where his top talent were poached when financial trouble hit. PSG are talking to Emery though, so why not go for the man he's supposed to replace, Laurent Blanc. Speaks English, has played in the EPL, so he knows what it's all about. OR if we all want to get on a wild ride, El Loco Bielsa

Hi, new poster. With the squad available I'd say Pellegrini, Loptegui, Blanc (might be out of a job soon), Lucien Favre, Roger Schmidt,De Boer, Karanka and Howe. In that order. Pellegrini, Favre, Scmidt and Howe play 442, which is now back as a stable tactic, while the others favour 433 morphing to 4231. Schmidt in particular would be a BOLD choice, but one worth taking if you watch his Leverkusen side.

New on the forum, what about Julen Loptegui formerly of Porto and Spanish U-21s?
