Id have Jose from the list and its a job that may suit him better these days being in a 2 horse race. Granted he isnt the same manager as 10 years ago but he would command respect and a winning mentality surely for 1-2 seasons to get the league title back. He's also going to be able to attract a better standard of player. Rafa Benitez 10 years ago would have got a vote but he's been away from the game too long. Gerrard's stock has fallen since he left after his two management spells and very rarely does going back have a good affect. It worked terrific with Walter Smith for us and looking to the Premier League it worked with David Moyes at West Ham and now Everton but I dont think those relationships with Manager and Club deteriorated at all, with Gerrard it was - thanks and good luck - and in came Gio who kicked us onto a Euro final.

Pretty sure you can be born in Timbuktu and play for them provided you went through a youth system in the region.

I love everything that Athletic do as a club by only having players from that region and it’s like a family run unit everyone knows the identity of the club and it’s one common goal, Sure we can’t do that from the get go but we can at least cut costs on spending x y z on has beens and focus on our future stars like young Rice & Curtis in which I hope Barry plays them in his remaining games to give them a chance to show case their talents. It actually saddened me when I found out that Billie Gilmore hadn’t actually played a game for Rangers first team yet was snatched by Chelsea yet had been at the club through our youth setup. All we have to do is look at this as a prime example of what we didn’t do to acknowledge the talent he was as it’s clearly shown with his performances of late with Napoli. I have a small glimmer of hope the DNA of our club will be revived due to what is happening with Leeds , I genuinely hope and have some optimism the new investors are aware of what the club means to us fans and the DNA of our club is restored as a club is nothing without its fans and as of late we have been left in the darkness. Yes time will tell and hopefully in due course there opening statement will highlight the intentions they want to achieve.
