When I say that we are not convinced by any other candidate, I think I can safely say that we all would be convinced by Xabi Alonso. But forgive me for not even entertaining that right now because I still think it has a VERY slim chance of even being more than just Chelsea talking about approaching him. If it does advance, then I\u2019ll re-do these polls.<\/p>\n
Also, remember there could be names we don\u2019t know about yet.<\/p>\n
But for now, these are the most serious and realistic targets that we have been linked with by top sources and outlets.<\/p>\n
Cesc Fabregas is YOUR man\u2026 As you can see, I also agree\u2026<\/p>\n
Then I asked, how happy would you be if it turned out being Andoni Iraola as our new head coach:<\/p>\n
- \n
- 45% said middle ground<\/li>\n
- 31% said quite happy<\/li>\n
- 15% said not too happy (this was my vote)<\/li>\n
- 7% said very happy<\/li>\n
- 2% said not happy at all<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
As for Fabregas:<\/p>\n
- \n
- 57% said very happy<\/li>\n
- 34% said quite happy (this was my vote)<\/li>\n
- 9% said middle ground<\/li>\n
- Nobody voted not too happy or not happy at all<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You can check the rest of the results\u00a0here\u00a0for names like Marco Silva and Filipe Luis, but it was Iraola and Fabregas who are the two most popular names in this community, with the latter being the clear favourite.<\/p>\n
Jose Mourinho split some views though!<\/p>\n
- \n
- 27% took the middle ground<\/li>\n
- 25% would be quite happy if it was him<\/li>\n
- 24% would be very happy<\/li>\n
- 14% would not be too happy<\/li>\n
- 10% would not be happy at all<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Ah, nostalgia bites me hard, I must admit!<\/p>\n
Antonio Conte had similar split results, whilst Frank Lampard edged a more positive response:<\/p>\n
- \n
- 30% took the middle ground of Lampard<\/li>\n
- 26% would be quite happy<\/li>\n
- 22% would be very happy<\/li>\n
- 11% would be not too happy\/not happy at all<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Let\u2019s hope I can add Alonso to these soon, but I\u2019m absolutely not getting my hopes up.<\/p>\n
So, it\u2019s all out for Cesc then, if Alonso is not possible? The community has spoken!<\/p>\n
I think Cesc ticks most of the boxes, but I still doubt his overall managerial experience so far. He\u2019s the best of the most linked so far though, for me.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
