It's almost a shame to spoil the jokey mood of the thread but it is a serious issue in reality and in that spirit I'm backing Sol 100% for future management but I'm not sure he's ready yet , or that he should start with such a big job. No, I think ,and still being serious, that Eddie Howe would be the ideal man for the job. He can use the high quality players we've got to produce the consistent high quality football they're obviously capable of and his history shows that he knows how to produce over a long period of time, not just occasional winning runs.
'Unparalleled motivator' - what are you basing that on? He's possibly got the loudest voice in the defence when he plays, but I see no evidence of his motivational skills. Fans love him, yes, but that's no reason to think he can turn our performances around.
