Nagelsmann or poch if it came down to it even if poch wouldn't be a good decision.

Nagelsmann would be the dream but I can never see it happening or it working under levy.

Also Ryan Mason, no thank you.
He worked wonders at RB with minimal budget and constantly losing his best players. It won’t be Bayern but I reckon he’ll get more spend even with Levy than he did at RB?

Young and eager to prove himself
One of our own so knows what brand of football the fans want to see
Cheap!

Is Nagelsmann out of contract or something!

Rumoured friction between him and Bayern. Supposedly they are not happy with him, and may be looking at Tuchel to take over if things don’t pick up

Different scenarios. Admittedly he does appear a tactical coaching manager rather than someone who’ll demand ready made stars, however RBL have a a scouting and recruitment network better than ours, utilising their feeder clubs they are able to sell players on when they excel, but just roll the next one straight out of the system. We are not that well structured.

I was initially skeptical of Poch returning.

But fuck it, I want some fun back in our football...and I think we'll see that immediately if he returns.
Really? Don't forget it takes 6-9 months to implement his style of play.

Levy is a massive admirer of Nagelsmann, no? Presumably he'll be all over that if he loses the Bayern job at the end of the season.

Not sure he'd want to come here if we do want him, though.

I do worry that there is so much talk about Poch coming and so many fans getting emotionally attached to the idea that if we don’t get him it could put unfair pressure on whoever else we get.

Personally I feel that shouldn’t be used as a reason to hire him but I do feel like the amount of fan pressure there is on Levy that the position is somewhat of a poisoned chalice. Even more so then it was prior.

Whoever comes in, including Poch, will have to work miracles to a certain degree as I think a large portion of the fan base won’t have much patience. It might be reasonable to think that Poch will have maybe more time to get things right due to his history here but I also think that fans are often fickle and if things don’t improve swiftly many will start looking (unfairly) at his last season here.

Ether way the situation is a monumental mess mostly of Levy’s making. I have zero faith that they will fix this situation.
