This isn't about being realistic or who the yanks would/wouldn't pick, it's about who you want to replace Colin Pascoe and Mike Marsh as our back room staff. It's also not about who you want to replace Brendan Rodgers because to the best of my knowledge, he hasn't been sacked (yet).
If you could explain why, it'd be helpful as well.
My choices are;
Assistant manager - Sammy Lee. Firstly he loves the club as much as anybody. Secondly, he knows the club inside out. It used to be Sammy's job to show new signings around the city and help them bed into the club. He'd jump at the chance to come home (again) rather than piss about on the south coast at St Mary's. He's still in the game so the old chestnut of "the games moved on" doesn't apply to Sammy. His passion and enthusiasm for the club would rub off on others. People who want European experience, Sammy has that having played abroad and been a part of domestic and international coaching teams.
Coach - Jamie Carragher. Like Sammy, his passion and enthusiasm would rub off on those around him. He's vastly knowledgeable on the sport, which helps. He's also the kind of fella who'd give you a good hiding if you failed to put in the effort. He'd offer defensive knowledge to Brendan, which is one area we're clearly lacking in. He also wouldn't be a yes man, which I think is the type of person Brendan needs.
