I think Carsley will have some support in the corridors of power because he is seen as a. Coach rather than a manager I honestly feel Gerrard would excite the fans and give the club some positive PR for a change but I am not sure he really is the best man for the job and his salary expectations will scare the life out of Swag , Russel Martin ticks boxes but if you thought JDT took risks playing out from the back Martin will have you having kittens . I don’t think Gary O’Neill isn’t the “coach” type they are looking for so… my gut feeling is it will be someone from abroad who probably isn’t really aware of all our failings as a football club , who is happy to coach and be dictated to regards playing stafff and is currently out of work I.e cheap
