devoted_dm, absolutely nothing to disagree on with your points, the coach isn't the problem, we've been through 5 (if you count Leonardo) now and only Allegri has shown any level of success and even during that period the team wasn't as strong as the past and there was complete chaos.
The current rumours are that Berlusconi, Galliani and Sacchi met at Arcore yesterday. Silvio wants Brocchi, Galliani wants Lippi, while Sacchi is advising Di Francesco or even Marco Giampaolo of Empoli.
I think Brocchi's a terrible choice, we've had no luck whatsoever with rookie coaches lately, and he's shown promise so why burn him. I'd rather say let him go out and gain experience in smaller clubs at senior level before he gets the job. I think Galliani's idea of Lippi is equally terrible. I like Lippi, I think he's an excellent coach, but since his world cup win in 2006, his relevance and influence in football has gone downhill. Honestly, I think he's in the twilight of his career, not someone you rebuild with.
I won't go into detail on Di Francesco, I've said I think he's possibly the best option. I'm not fully convinced on Giampaolo, as while he's doing well at Empoli, I want to see more of him first. Partly because he's had quite a mixed past as a coach, but also because he inherited a group that was already playing very good football under Sarri.
If it was me, Di Francesco remains the favoured choice out of those likely (Sarri would still be my top choice). However, if Di Francesco was to come, he needs complete support from the management with the players understanding what their responsibility is to him. If not him, I'd want us to go for Donadoni.
That isn't to say I want Miha out. I've actually liked most of what Miha's done this year and I think he's done better than both Inzaghi and Seedorf. However, I think in his case we're talking about a dead man walking and if Lazio's after him, then I wouldn't begrudge him for leaving.
