What about a little known Scandinavian manager with an amazing record of getting the most out of his meagre resources? 3 promotions on the trot. Great bloke and likes a beer.

We could try:
The posh-but-hard-as-nails manager - General Sir Brian Horrocks with the Guards Armoured Division as his backroom staff.
The bloodthirsty psychopath - Erik Bloodaxe
The totally inert - a poached egg.
As the first two candidates are dead the smart money will be on the egg. And if it doesn't work out we can always eat it. | | | |

My dad fought in that division, got as far as Eindhoven before his tank got blown up.
Horrocks zipping up to LR in his jeep five minutes before the off would be ace. "All ready to go chaps? Good, then give'em hell." |  |

What about an unhinged German oddbod with a tendency to make eight changes every week. Five different keepers in eighteen games — that sort of thing. |  |

I hope and presume your dad made it out of the tank!
I think Horrocks was a West London boy too - certainly Middx Regt. And in the British Olympic team too I believe. Missed opportunity by the club really. | | | |

How about a Virtual Manager selected from a round robin Champ Manager tournament?
We've never had a lesbian manager so that could be an option. Maybe one with short hair and an extensive range of lightweight banter?
With that in mind, we could get Alan Sugar to do an Apprentice-style competition. 'You cost me money, lost the challenge and pissed off the customers. You're rude, smell funny and have terrible dress sense. Claude reckons you're a kunt and Karen says you tried to grope her in the lift. But I'm going to go with my gut. John Terry, you're hired'. |  |

Yeah but I'd only take a manager like that on if he believes in either homeopathy or folk medicine. Otherwise it won't work. |  |

It's funny you should say that, because I happen to know that right now, there's a Bundesliga-winning German oddbod looking for a new job, and get this: he believes in the power of cheese to cure injuries...as long as you're talking to your Mum on the phone at the same time. Interested? | |

Can we just do away with a manager altogether? It doesn't seem to be working for us anyway and would give us one less person to moan about. Whoever in the squad is best at fighting should decide that he is the captain and then pick 10 people to play with him playground style. Then he can put himself up front and everyone else can run around aimlessly trying to score. Thats entertainment. |  |

Yes thank you Rsie! Via the Guinea Pig club as a rare non-RAF member, lived another 60 years.
His tank regiment was Yorkshire-based, but the infantry men hitching a ride on them that day were from the Herefordshire Regiment. When my parents retired there in the 80s my dad discovered that half the local British Legion members had been in the same field that day. | |
