Manager

Clearly all is not well at the club and it seems that the takeover is imminent.
I doubt whether Cocu will remain so who, realistically, can be brought in to move things forward and , if the takeover happens, I think that money will not be a problem.
Maurico Pochetino maybe.

I think MM is waiting to sell so the new owner can sack him and fork out the compensation

Let's indulge flights of fancy and suggest Quique Setien, who could then bring Lionel Messi in for a year of League 1 football!! You never know, Messi might think League 1 was the top tier of English football until he plays away at Newport County and Crawley Town next season.

Massimiliano Allegri as new manager and first signing will be Mo Salah.
