OK. We won't attract a big name manager if/ when Silva goes but I think Phil Neville is a possibility. I'd give him a chance. Can't do any worse than the last few.

Tim Cahill as assistant would be interesting.

Each to own opinion, but how about trying to go b@lls out for a manager whos actually won something as a manager. Personally, i think that today was a real low point (given expenditure over last 3-4 yrs) , and i don't think i trust the board to seek the right advice. mr moshiri and board need to seek different advice and look for a winning manager. not another 'potential' class manager. moyes arteta, neville. its just history repeating itself imo.

Genuine question, what is the fascination with appointing a former player as a manager (especially ones with minimal or no management experience) ?

Because of Kendall Ctoffee. Many associate the 2 with our last successful period.

If you now your history.
Catterick 2 x titles, FA Cup, 2 x Charity shields, Kendall 2 x titles, FA Cup, Cup Winners Cup, 3 x Charity shields, Harvey Charity Shield, Royle FA Cup and Charity Shield. ALL ex players. NOTHING won since. Anything before was in the 30's.
I would love Arteta but I think he will wait for Pep to go and City would be mad not to go for him.

Fair enough, but I don’t think that means we’ll only find success with former players as managers. Think football has moved on from those days and banking on winning something just because we have the Yak (or whoever else) in as manager is bizarre.

Just as bizarre that a Silva team cannot win after going behind that has got to be about style of play and getting commitment out of players.
At least a former player knows what commitment and passion is. Silva obviously wouldn't if it slapped him in the face.
