Whatever we do we have to get it right, no room for sentiment. We have to get in the CL and we have to have a go at the FA Cup, start pissing about with "oh he knows the club" type mentality and you're on a slippy slope. I get that if who we want isn't available, you have to just go with the best interim option, but still, there has to be better options out there than ones who've failed miserably at lesser teams and in lesser leagues.
