I'd put all my eggs in the Xabi basket, and looks like he's not going to be coming, which is disappointing, for me anyway.
Manager with not a lot of experience, but to be 10 points clear of Bayern at the top of a 'proper league', is incredibly impressive.
It'd still be a risk, but if he continues on an wins the Bundesliga, he'll have everyone after him.
Gerrard has yet to prove he'd be up to managing a mid table team in the PL.
De Zerbi, Thomas Frank, Postecoglou, etc - it's one thing managing with little expectation, completely different when the expectation is to compete for the title.
In saying that, I didn't think Arteta would get Arsenal to where they are now.
Dunno, tough one. Go for one of the less experienced/proven guys, or a more experienced guy like Tuchel, Zidane.
Would Pep jump from Citeh with the FFP hanging over them.
How do you replace JĆ¼rgen. It's impossible really imho. Can't recall having a connection like it with any manager.
Very difficult.
