It's not Julian Nogelsman, Brendan Rogers or Roberto Martinez, it's not Scott Parker or Graham Potter, it's not Ralph Hassanhuttle, Ralph Ragnick or Hansi Flick, it's not Eric Tenhag it's not Maricio Pochitino, it's not Antonio Conte, it's not Palo Fonseca, Gennaro Gertuso or Julene Lopetegui.

Hello and welcome to a special edition of The View from the Lane podcast.

seeing as that those things seem to always come to pass but yeah pleased to be back and
