He looks lovely. Nice tight fitting jumpers. Fantastic facial hair well maintained. 👍 He has the air of a 21st Century Jimmy Hill about him, and yes, he carries off his caramel coloured tight sweater too - not easy to do. Sign him up Stoke! His unveiling video could be in a barber shop with his face covered in a hot towel... and then the reveal! Barber to Muslić: "Something for the weekend, Sir?" Muslić to barber: "Just three points." <turns to camera and winks>

Maybe we'll have a different approach to appointing managers like we've seen with playing staff.

Last time I watched them on TV they were third in the league and well impressed with them...first saw him on World Football about 9/10 months ago and not a manager who walked into a job. Kind of a Villa Boas character, just what we need.

I would bet good money that Stoke City are not the champ club who are monitoring him, because it's never us. We'll monitor stodgy British managers and you'll like it. My money would be on Watford, we're getting around manager change time for them Wouldn't this appointment be exactly what some on here are accusing the board of doing in the past. Going for the "flavour of the month" manager

Going for the "flavour of the month" manager Flavour of the month? Had anyone on here heard of him yesterday and he's managing a club that get the same crowds as Hartlepool at times. Were Lambert, MON or Neil flavour of the month?

That's interesting that they a champ team is interested. Been banging his drum for a while as think would be a bit of a wild card but worth a gamble. Would the championship and a team of our size be tempting over a smallish club in Belgium.....I would think maybe but he won't be around long at Circle you'd think. Sorry to burst your balloons lads, but he’s yet another three-at-the-back fanatic. Cross him off the list!

But we don’t have the players for a back three, so as promising as he sounds I really think we should go for someone who’s more wedded to a back four. We have to get the next appointment right.

He had great success in Sweden and also with Brighton, but could he turn our luck if given the chance? Graham potter likes to play attractive football, our players in my opinion are not capable of that( I include all of our new signings barring vidigal and maybe burger)…so it would mean another reset and a flirt with ffp. We are stuck with what we have! P.s he wouldn’t come anyway Dunno he likes to play easy on the eye football and prior to Chelsea got results without ever scoring many goals. I don’t particularly like the idea of a team that doesn’t score many goals but having said that with the players we have I can’t see where many are coming from whoever is is charge.

I quite fancy a team that just wins, and Potter pre-Chelsea was pretty good at that. I’m sure a dozen other managers who aren’t Alex Neil would be too.

Yep for sure, see what you mean We have to go off grid this time I would probably agree that we need to go down a different route. However, if we are facing a relegation battle it would be a big gamble to appoint a foreign manager (who has no experience of this league) to manage a group of under performing players (many of whom this is their first experience of the league as well).

True but considering so many have gone down that route and got great success out of it, it's worth it for me. It's a bit like...Nah am keeping my fax machine, this e mail might not catch on

It’s just a formation and a relatively successful one at this level too all the hysterical nonsense about 3/5 at the back is just that . Like a bunch of superstitious old women “3 at the back doesn’t work at Stoke” FFS.

Like a bunch of superstitious old women “3 at the back doesn’t work at Stoke” FFS. If it was that simple to transition between 3/5 at the back, we wouldn’t have had so many bad results from it over the past 4 years! There is in fact a massive difference in style and player responsibilities. Wing backs is a wonderful formation when you have the right players. We simply don’t, so it won’t be successful for us.

I hope if it comes to the changing manager that we have one ready to put in place. For me Potter ticks a lot of boxes.

Is someone like Warburton a mad shout?
I seem to remember he started the Brentford project, or at least involved in the early stages of it, so used to our style of recruitment.
Did a good job at Brentford, decent job at rangers (I think) and did alright at QPR on a shoe string?
But I can’t say I’ve followed him all that closely.

We just need Neil to take his finger out of his arse get a few results and let things settle down. A new volume of "The family twists again" would be horrendous this time I reckon.
We're dicing with League One again.
