Alright, I’ve had some drinks but the below came to me this afternoon, thought I’d share.

Ellis, it’s time to let bygones be bygones and get that useless prick Bain to pick up the phone. The Mackem Messiah needs to be brought home!


Pros


Available to start immediately.

Wages wouldn’t need to be big as he’s currently assistant manager.

Expectations are rock bottom, if we stay up he’ll have done a good job.

Has box office draw with the crowds, and any potential investors will know his name.

Played attacking football last time round in the championship.

Any footballer worth his salt knows him and admires him, has lots of friends and contacts still in football.

One of the most Driven people in football.

Takes no shit from anyone, from the tea lady up to the owner.

Cons
Never got involved with SAFC enough last time round, eg didn’t move his family up here, but I think he deserves a second chance.

Spent too much last time round, I’d trust him to have learned from this and his budget would be a lot tighter.


Summary
I’ve seen threads mentioning various names, Karanka is a current one.

I think he’d be just as much of a gamble as Keane given their track records.

As assistant manager of Villa, it’s fair to say his wage demands won’t be too massive, and I’d suggest offering a long term deal of 5 years at a minimum, and even if we go down another league, keep him in the job, as he needs to be a central part of the rebuilding strategy.

Never read it but Keane now with us having no money would be f***ing wank.
