Whether you like it or not, we are in this thing called a 'competition' .
Out of those 3 managers, the one who would be least likely to get the team performing in his style in a short space of time, with half a team of players coming back from internationals & a bunch who have never met each other, is Klopp. For the simple reason that his style would mean huge changes in every aspect. A much bigger change than from Mancini to Pelllegrini, which itself was a struggle initially.
Just because he turns up, all the players instantly become fitter & faster & able to play his pressing style ? Why ?
Why should his changes work any quicker than Van Gaal's did ? Why would we be better at it than Dortmund are now ?

However I would rather see Paddy learn on the job for a season than that fat mercenary tw-t Benetez coming in for a one year pay day and then Pep strolling in. Frankly anyone (even Steve McMahon) could have made a fist of managing Barcelona and Bayern the next city manager needs to build and buy Pep has always had the best of the best on a plate with a machine around him:
Pep: "OK Lionel, when you get the ball, beat six players and kick it in the goal"
Lionel: "Si Boss"
Pep: "Xavi control the middle, break up play and feed the Lionel, he will score, but if you can't get him the ball score 25 yard wonder goal yourself"
Xavi: "Si Boss"
Pep: "Mr Sporting director i think we have an injury worry over Puyol, he has strained his perm, please bring me a selection of the best young defenders in the world from our youth team"
Youth team coach "Si Boss"
Etc etc etc
You're the one for me, Paddy.
Hazy who are your three contenders?
Pellers & Paddy
Anchovie & Paddy
Max & Paddy

But why Ted ?

I'd settle for getting two players into the first team squad

Great point Ted.
Although Paddy + Anchovies would be a tasty combo to allow Vieira to find his feet for a season.
Vieira as a player was a fuclin giant and definitely would have the respect of international big names plus he used to love getting stuck into Keanetard so he would get my vote on that alone...
Also if Paddy could introduce Seko Fofana into the first XI that would be fantastic because that kid is going to be immense. He plays like Yaya and Paddy had a man-baby. Right foot, left foot, tackles, pace, heads, built like a brick outhouse etc..

Managing 19 year olds is very different from managing someone getting paid $100K/week. Vieira is an inspiration to our youth team because of his personality and the player he was, if I am not wrong most of the EDS follows his instructions and tries to impress him in hopes of getting noticed.
I just think he hasn't seen/ worked with a decent manger to ply the trade, he knows Wengers management style from a players view and probably some customary visitis like the one to Bayern. Pellegrini+Paddy will keep us in top 4 next year, only paddy isnt worth the risk, this would teach him what to do/not to.

Remember, we have about 4 players coming back from loan so this isn't fanciful.
I dunno, just putting it out there.

Of course twats like yourself would not accept such a proposal. But you're a minority. A really fucking small tiny minority. Thankfully.
