Ronald Koeman – Southampton
Of course, it could drive Liverpool fans crazy if we head to Southampton for our next manager as well as all our new signings, but the Dutchman did fantastically during his debut term in England. Koeman had to deal with his best players being sold (three to us), but replaced them well, and finished seventh, building a strong defensive base and playing attractive football to boot. Really though, we probably need a manager with a proven record of winning titles consistently – although there are not too many of them about.
