However way you look at it I think Bilic is not a bad candidate and is up there with Blanc and ahead of AVB, however I still think that Levy is missing a trick with Frank Rijkaard.
Anyway back to Blanc. His first season as a manager saw him take Bordeaux to 2nd and saw him win the Manager of the year award (2007). 2008 was better as Bordeaux won the title (setting a record for 11 consecutive wins in the Ligue 1) and also won the Coupe de la Ligue, which is why France handed him the reigns for France. He was a candidate for Manager of the Year again, but was beaten.
So to cut a long story short is this man the fans favourite as to who we have been linked to? My answer is yes I would prefer Blanc to any of the other candidates as I believe it would be a step in the right direction, but lets not get ahead of our selves and see where we go next on this lovely manager merry-go-round.
