Josh,  I personally don't think that any club, or supporter,  can look at any Head Coach as a "long term option"..... those days are gone.
IMHO he'd be fantastic - spiffing, even - for 1 or hopefully 2 years    

The club hierarchy seemingly have a hard-on for Appleton so they could do Scolari as Head Coach with Michael Appleton as his assistant to eventually take over when Scolari eventually leaves/retires. I think that would be similar to what the club planned when Roy Hodgson was in charge but Appleton left for Oxford.

Personally I’m a bit wary of rumours like this with the rise of fake news sources. I’d personally be chuffed if we could entice Scolari but I’m also taking the link with a little pinch of salt especially like Zinman said, he could be talking about Southampton.
