All the fire Jurgy talk has me thinking about who would be available and willing to replace him. Let's operate under the hypothetical that Jurgen is fired tomorrow. Who would you want to replace him and why?

Realistic: Vermes, Kreis, Hiddink

Pipe-Dream: Pep (because of that one time it was rumored that he'd be interested)

Let's not

But OK I'll bite:
Anyone who will play our best 11 players in their natural positions on a consistent basis.

Neil Lennon: He's perfect for our playing pool. Able to get results against lesser opposition with a pleasing style and able to get results against teams with much better players. Great at creating a solid defense.


Marcelo Bielsa: Proven track record of creating a fun, exciting style. Proven track record on the international stage. Will, at the very least, be interesting.

Vermes


He would be my choice. Has done very well at Sporting KC. Seems to have a definite system and style with an eye for identifying talented players that work in his scheme. Has a strong personality too.

Well, at least you're consistent. And with the SPL the way it is of course NL has experience against lesser opposition.

He was also able to save Bolton last season and gave Pool all they could handle.


And he is perfect for our playing pool.

Not setting anybody up. It just seems this would be the next logical discussion for everybody wanting to fire Jurgy. It had me curious

I wouldn't be too opposed to these. I'm not sure I want to get on the Guus Bus, though.

Could never see this happening. Would employ an exciting, attacking style for sure. Would definitely rustle a few jimmies on the SB along the way too

Would normally dismiss anything Celtic/City but this could work on a hypothetical level. Can't see it every happening either though.

I'm surprised no one has said Simeone. We are already good at hustling. Maybe he can refine it a bit.

Bielsa would be a dream.

So, as a recap, we currently have the following realistic candidates: Vermes and Kreis.

Other candidates offered who in my opinion aren't available or realistic under this hypothetical: Pep Guardiola, Diego Simeone, Marcelo Bielsa, Guus Hiddink, Neil Lennon, Jurgen Klopp (maybe available, on sabbatical).

Any of you more vocal critics who want to fire Jurgy now have anyone else to submit?

I'm not adding him to the list, but I wonder if Cherundolo would get any consideration.

Currently an assistant manager for Hannover.
