What about? his views on the disabled? (maybe to ask if his male pattern baldness is a sign of him paying for mortal sin in a past life?)
Who do you want as manager?

Same situation for me, two months older than him.
Rory Allen was born on the same day as AVB

An interesting quote from his wiki about his time at his job before Porto (which some have discredited as a job anyone could be successful in)
"His impact at Académica was immediate, not only because of solid results, but also because of the attractive football displayed by the team"

When viewed at from that perspective, the only remaining viable options will be Beetroot Head and Trapatonni

Meanwhile back at the Lane Levy gives a big Austin Powers Moooohahahahahahaha...... you will be mine Guardiola, you will be mine, i have envisioned this scene kind of like when Fu Manchu is hanging out in his hide out...

Just to throw another name out there, this bloke from Lille OSC sounds interesting:
From a very early age, football was part of Rudi Garcia's existence. His father, José, was a Spanish who played football at a professional level for Sedan and Dunkerque. When José became the coach of local team Corbeil-Essonnes, he drafted his son into the squad, where Rudi played until cadet level. As Corbeil didn't have a national cadets side, Rudi joined Viry-Châtillon.
He was 18 when he obtained his baccalauréat and signed for Lille, where he would spend two years as an intern and four as part of the professional squad. He made about 170 appearances for the Northern club which he would leave in 1988. Playing as an attacking midfielder, he created more than he scored, which explains why he netted only 4 goals during those years. His first goal for Lille was a memorable affair however. In December 1984, Lille travelled to the Parc des Princes to face Paris Saint-Germain. With both sides tied at 2-2, Garcia netted to earn his side a win over one of his favourite clubs.
Having left Lille, Rudi Garcia joined Stade Malherbe Caen, where he was coached by Robert Nouzaret and Daniel Jeandupeux. In 1991, he opted to join Martigues rather than signing on with the Normandy club. To his dismay, serious injuries to his back and knee forced him to retire from professional football at the age of 28, in 1992.
Between 1992 and 1994, Garcia stayed away from football pitches. He enrolled for university to prepare his reconversion, and gained a DEUG and a STAPS degree at Orsay, as well as French qualifications that entitled him to manage a youth training centre. In parallel, he worked for CanalSatellitle, first as a reporter for post-match interviews, and then as a studio pundit.
Lille OSC
On 18 June 2008, Garcia rescinded his contract with the club to join Lille OSC, the club where he had spent six years as a player in the 1980s. In his first season, the club from Northern France developed a stylish and attacking approach, contrasting with previous coach Claude Puel's cautious and often boring tactics. Garcia's novel approach enabled players such as Ludovic Obraniak and Michel Bastos to develop, the latter becoming the club's top scorer in the league with 14 goals. Interestingly, he also gave a lot of playing time to promising youngster Eden Hazard, and the Belgian repaid this faith with some scintillating displays. On 2 June 2009, the LOSC board unexpectedly took the decision to sack Rudi Garcia, who had just led the club to their best league finish for 3 years and qualified it for the Europa League. It soon became apparent that this sacking was due to a difference of opinion with a member of the board, Xavier Thuilot. The latter was himself sacked during the month and on 18 June 2009, Michel Seydoux, the club president and major shareholder, offered the manager position again to Garcia, who accepted. The move was backed by several football luminaries, including Aimé Jacquet, who expressed his belief that the Nemours-born coach was one of the brightest prospects among French football managers. Indeed, in a country otherwise reputed for the defensive approach approved by most of its coaches, Rudi Garcia is seen, together with Antoine Kombouaré, as part of a small group of managers who advocate attacking football as the best means to achieve results. 2009-10 saw Lille continue to improve in the league, finishing one place above their 5th place finish of 2008-09. With 72 goals scored, the club had the division's best attack, even bettering champions Olympique Marseille. This led French media and pundits to dub the entertaining side the Barça of the North. However, it was the 2010-11 season that would provide the club's breakthrough. In May, Garcia led les Dogues to triumph in the Coupe de France against Paris Saint-Germain, their first win in the trophy since 1955. The same month, on 21 May, the league and cup double was completed, again after a game against Paris Saint-Germain which ended in a 2-2 draw. During the Trophées UNFP du football, Rudi Garcia was deservingly awarded the prize for best Ligue 1 coach of the 2010-11 season. During the ceremony, he dedicated his trophy to his late father José, even saying a few words in Spanish as a tribute to his father's origins.
1- successful -- 2012 3rd in ligue 1 and qual CL (ligue 1 manager of the year 2010-2011)
2- successful with grooming young talent - Eden Hazard
3- 2nd generation footballer
4- educated
5- speaks french, spanish, and english
6- injury cut his playing career short, still seems very hungry
7- with all the player exodus he knows Lille OSC lack ambition and will get slaughtered next season
This manager must be worth an inquiry at least,... and I really would like to discuss managers OTHER THAN AVB and Moyes (yawn)

I have tried to convince myself that AVB would be a good appointment and that he would get the best out of our younger players like GDS , Caulker , Sandro, Walker etc and that we dont have the same situation he faced at Chelsea. But the bottom line is he failed spectacularly there which was his only EPL experience. I really dont think Blanc has pulled up any trees though i might change my mind if they beat Spain ( in which case he will probably stay on as French coach ) . Of course Pep G is the best choice but i just cant see it happening. Capello is too old ( though he might have more credibility than AVP with the players we are struggling to keep And maybe a Capello - Sherwood combo might make sense.
That brings us to Moyes and Martinez. Not over the moon about either one but Moyes is a good man manager and talks more sense than HR ever did. Probably better football under Martinez but he has not handled any big names and might be out of his depth . So probably Moyes though if you think about it has he achieved any more than Martin Jol.... ?
