Allegri has been out of work a year almost. Offer him what he wants, tactically anyone who's watched his teams know he's one of the best in the world. Offer him the FFC job now and I'm certain he'd get us up. Big wages offset by Premiership fortune.

Not asked him, maybe not fancied what he's been offered, was superb at Juventus... a challenge in England and good wages may appeal

What is his Championship experience.
Allegri is not coming to Fulham sadly. Though, obviously, I would support it wholeheartedly if it were to happen, if we flag down a cab and head to Reality Street, it's not.
I would imagine he will take over at Utd when they finally relieve Ole of a job that is too big for him. A similar situation there as with us really thinking about it. Always doing just enough to remain in the post, or make it difficult to be removed, whilst it being glaringly obvious that they are never going to be operating at the level required.
Tigana, Ranieri, even Jol & Magath were all big names in the scheme of things also who thought we could sign EVDS? If you don't ask, you dont get, Allegri has been out of work close to a year, so why not try? Apparently we tried for Wenger, what's to stop us showing ambition & why settle for mediocrity and the dull & inexperienced (and tactically naive) Parker?? Try Allegri, try Benitez (championship experienced) ... so no not daft.
Allegri is out of work because he wants a big job. Same with Poch. You have to be at least vaguely realistic, this is just silly.
It would be somewhat churlish to sack Parker after getting us back to the PL. I would like to see Allegri here (in principle) but we paid for our hubris in the summer of 2018 and a lesson should be learnt.
Wouldn't be surprised to see him end up at Barcelona or Man United. I like your gumption though!

I wasn't having a dig, fella. Just being realistic. The names you mentioned above, whilst, yeah okay, they were relatively big names, hadn't just won four back-to-back doubles in one of Europe's top leagues.
He has been out of work for a year, solely as he is waiting for a big job (on the back of aforementioned recent/current achievements). Bigger than any other Italian club could offer which, to my mind, means he is probably looking at 8-10 clubs tops. Of which, as much as I wish they were, Fulham are probably not yet one of those.
Would 100% make a call/drop an email (however these things are initially started) to Benitez though. That would fall into the 'unlikely, but worth a pop' category. Allegri, at this current time, not.
Well there you go ... Benitez then!
"You don't ask, you don't get."
Is there another league as exciting and with as many quality clubs as the Premier right now?
He'd be managing a club owned by a multi-billionaire. A club that had been in that league for years and got back in it last season.
A team that might be playing Liverpool next season. (God, help us.) In my mind, we have positional story to tell and sell.
Why not Fulham, I say. How's his English?

I think Tony Khan should give Klopp a call. Try and tempt him. Maybe even with Pep as his assistant. The dream team.
If people think Allegri or Benitez unrealistic then elsewhere I've suggested others who I genuinely believe to be upgrades on Parker. Sanchez Flores, Montella, Pellegrini, Hughton, Ainsworth, Gracia, Kovac. Its not as though alternatives aren't out there.
Read his name as Allergi for a second.

I genuinely believe that it would be de-stabilising and detrimental to our season to change manager now. We are in the mix, we have a chance and despite a horror show last saturday (mainly from Rodak), we are in third position. Changing now would be counter-productive IMO.
Sounds like Ranieri all over again, and those same people 6 months on wanting Slavisa back.

It's by the by, but some of us never wanted Slavisa gone in the first place and made this quite clear at the time.

Absolutely, would be great to have him back in football for a start, and I think he just brings great passion and a feel good feeling to his work. In his autobiography he says he loved his time at Fulham and felt regret at leaving for England... I think he would do a great job, again.
Once he knows he has the backing of his chairman he can really enjoy his work, which always seems paramount to him... Would be great for him to have one last challenge in football.
Also, he almost guarantees exciting , entertaining footbball,.

This list would make a good topic for the end of the season. (Parker isn't going anywhere before then...unless the Khan's sell the club)
I'd personally take Slav back but discussing impossibles seems pointless imo.
I'm going to read up on your suggestions though. See if I can find game clips.

Beg to differ, a bunch of available managers all better than Parker and surely none more boring in their chosen style.

I don't expect Parker to go now, but it might be a different story in the summer. Poyet can be a bit difficult, but his teams have always played good football. He reminds me of Jokanovic, for some reason.

We have 0% chance of getting allegri. Quit dreaming.
The best I can think of is Chris hughton or Nigel Pearson when he inevitably gets sacked by Watford. Just being realistic, these aren't my ideal managers

If you think that the football Fulham plays is boring, try speaking to a Brighton fan about how they were performing under Hughton!
It wasn't so long ago that many people were keen to get Danny Murphy in as coach/manager, but he has even less managerial experience than Parker... so i don't get the constant references to lack of experience
Under Ranieri, we had a squad of players who clearly weren't playing for the manager. Parker completely turned that round and restored at least a bit of pride and he still has credit in the bank for me.
Someone earlier in this thread mentioned that a lot of us wanted Slav to stay, i was definitely one of those. His teams never came good until after November! the khans should have known that...

As much as this suggestion turns my stomach, I really can't disagree with the sentiment.
Big Sam, Pulis & Warnock..... we've had 2 manager's in the past - why not 3
