If we take de Zerbi with a relegation clause which allows him to walk away then we are f ucked. Zero incentive for the players to respect him, zero incentive for him to give a s hit.
So yeah, I’d take Allardyce above him, and also above Tudor Mark 2.

Yes, unfortunately things are that bad.
Post-Mourinho and Conte, managers have been turning us down for years now, hence why we ended up with Ange and TF; this despite some of our fans labouring under the misapprehension that people would be falling over themselves to come.
Who serious is really going to be interested at this moment?
So, you could do worse then submit your CV. Sounds like you’d be worthy of consideration.

Who’s turned us down in that period?
Mr Gogolak

Didn't Slot and/or Ten Hag have an interview with us?
Not sure I agree with @Mikey10's statement though. The manager can be a problem, but there are plenty of quality managers out there who'd be happy to join us IF we had a clear direction as a club.
We offer a lot of money which in itself is already a very strong incentive. Unfortunately:
- Conte's rant, while totally justified, portrayed the club in a very poor light
- The club is having of tough time of stepping out Pochettino's shadow (the interim appointment if proof of that, I think)
- We have zero direction/identity as a club
- Power structure inside the club appears to be... unclear at best
- Up until this season, managers were expected to deliver Champions League qualification and/or a trophy (turned out a trophy wasn't enough, you might say) which is completely unsustainable in this league, with our level of spending/wage structure
- When you sack Mourinho and Conte who - rightly or wrongly are huge names in world football - in quick succession, you can forgive others for thinking twice before taking their chances
- Our squad is nothing to write home about
Turns out, when you mismanage the squad for a decade and kick off a power struggle within the club, you end up at the wrong end of the league table. Who would have thought? It's reached a point where I'm not sure a quality manager would make a difference in the long run. We need to sort ourselves out.
