I would question the motivation of any manager who jumped ship to Saudi Arabia straight after his first sacking, and then got sacked again. That butchered his career more than anything he did at Villa. Before then, he would at least have secured a move to a decent Championship club for his achievements at Rangers alone. I've no idea where he goes next. That said, could he do much worse as an interim? There's little evidence that Slot is leading us into the CL places with this squad. It would kill me if the clowns at United had shown a) they had a better summer than us and b) made the right call, making a managerial change, and somehow finished above us. It's a very real possibility. Eurgh! The best-case scenario is we just tell Xabi we're not hanging around for him to take a sabbatical after 2.4 years of coaching. Book a plane, stay in Zidane's house and get your arse to Kirkby!
