I just don't think you'd see anything Approaching entertainment under him (or AVB and to a lesser extent McClaren).
Bilic is revered at WH - for why, I'm not entirely sure. He was only there for a season and a half I thought? His record at Besiktas isn't too bad but it's hardly a hugely competitive league is it?
I just think Bilic would be an appointment based on nostalgia. That said, could you imagine him in charge with PDC as his No. 2?!? It would be carnage every week - especially if they had an argument on the touch line
I don't get it either - hardly a legend for WH in his playing time. We're seemingly desperate to employ former players as managers which ended in expensive tears last time.

The other name doing the rounds on some forums is Marcelo Bielsa. I know nothing about him but apparently "The Argentine appeared to bid goodbye to the French top flight after Marseille narrowly missed out on securing a Champions League spot"
Bielsa would always be my number one choice for manager. He's brilliant. Utterly and completely nuts of course. He always builds teams that are great to watch. Did I mention he's nuts? His nickname is El Loco.....TEKNOPUG said:

I'd never even heard of this guy but a few of my friends have been mentioning him.
Likewise, although he coached the argies national team '98-'04 and Chile after that.
Not sure how well this would go down w/ the press though, given many of them support WH (again from Wiki): "Bielsa refuses to grant exclusive interviews, the press conference has become his preferred method of communication. He has been known to field every last question from the assembled media during these gatherings. If the talk turns to the intricacies of the game, a three- or even four-hour press conference is possible."

Whilst that is indeed the case, if you think along those lines then the board should have stuck with BFS.
Is Carroll going to be back for pre season? Him getting injured coincided with our return to normality...
He appeared to be modeling clothing on a beach at the weekend from a tweet that I saw... Is Carroll going to be back for pre season? Him getting injured coincided with our return to normality...
There have been some shots of him running though so hopefully he might be back soonish.
