I think if/when the 49ers get in, they shouldn't underestimate the pull of the club. I hope they make an abitious move because its a great time to rebuild for the longer term. We somehow sold the club to Bielsa when we were in a worse position in the Championship and with little money to invest in the team. We're now going into a season in a better position to get promoted you'd think and you'd expect us to invest and back the new manager. Yes they have to drop from the top level but if we sold it, that could be potentially just a year if we can get things right. I mean, we're going to have higher crowds than some Premier League sides, that underlines the size of the club and potential for any incoming manager. I'd love Iraola, especially now he is a free agent but I think he's probably bound for somewhere like Celtic or higher. But we shouldn't not think we can't aim for someone other than the usual suspects that are touted IMO.

Have a look at the 6th page of this thread http:// talkfootball365.com/topic/16604-dfb-pokal-2223/page/6/ The only ones not mentioned there are Unterhaching as winners of RL Bayern and Preußen Münster as best Westfalian team in RL West.
