Gianfranco Zola, I’m throwing his name out there!

The owners tried to get Totchtawan to stay, but he stood firm in his decision to resign.
League and cup double last year, tipped to be the national coach one day. There's our man.
Legend in Thailand. Win ratio of 70% in last 2 seasons as a manager.
Wow..............
Reckon it'll be Sven Goran Eriksson, Tiger wants a big name supposedly and Eriksson is a big name in the far east, working at clubs in Thailand and a few in China. He also worked with Tigers advisor Man city and under the thai owners at leicester.
I'd say he is a good bet for a £5 at 33/1
??You’ve been holding that one up your sleeve just waiting for the right moment haven’t you...Are u saying tiger was on the verge of appointing Bellamy when he had his ulrika moment

If Sven does get the job you’ve just given the OM their first headline.
They just come naturally [emoji23]. It could be fazackerly the kind of appointment we need to reunite the Man City and England dream team
Wasn’t actually manger there
On 22 July 2009, Eriksson was appointed as director of football at English League Two team Notts County, following that club's takeover by Middle East consortium Munto Finance with Eriksson getting a reported, but unconfirmed, £2 million per year deal. It is believed his contract was based on the future success of the club with a large percentage share holding making up his contract.
Eriksson later said that he was attracted by the consortium's plans to take the world's oldest league club to the top of the Premier League, and believed that they had the finance and commitment to do that. Large-scale investment in new facilities were promised, and Sol Campbell and Kasper Schmeichel joined the club from Premier League teams. Campbell, however, played only one game before departing and Schmeichel was released at the end of the season.[citation needed]
County's large debts, including an unpaid tax bill, emerged in November 2009.[55] On 11 February 2010, Eriksson resigned as director of football following the club's takeover by former Lincoln City chairman Ray Trew.[56] Eriksson waived a multi-million payoff in order to assist the takeover, which chairman Trew described as the act of an "absolute gentleman". Notts County were promoted as League Two champions at the end of the season.
Sven as DoF and Gerrard as coach..?Blimey! You're almost as good as Wikipedia.
Yeah my fear is that we end up with some similar arrangement, i.e. an experienced head to come in as Director of football, supporting an unproven coach. I have never liked this set-up. To manage a team you need to influence the players coming in/out.
