Marching On Together

He ticks all the boxes for me.

He's only on a 12 month rolling contract at a smaller club with a smaller budget, so he's available unless he takes Preston up.

He's outperforming Leeds with a smaller club and a smaller budget.

He's got a team promoted to the Premier League.

He has experience of the Premier League.

He's got experience of a fairly big club in Norwich, got them promoted, and they've been worse since they sacked him.

He's still only 36, so he's got potential to improve an already impressive CV.

I see drive, I see hunger, I see ambition, I see strength of character.

He's what Heckingbottom was sold to us as, but he's the real deal.

If you don't want to go for an unknown foreigner again, or an experienced manager who's been hit and miss, then he's really the only candidate.

I'm not totally convinced with him re Norwich with him getting promoted but then relegated - however a lot depends on what he learnt from the experience and if he is a better manager for the experience. His time in Scotland was excellent though.

Sometimes a manager's voice can lose respect if the same players get fed up of hearing it. Fergie dealt with this superbly by constantly changing his no.2 so that the players would be hearing a new voice and ideas constantly and also he was a good judge of when to get rid of a player.

Not for me. Plus he was pretty classless the other day accussing Jansson of faking an injury, which of course our embarrassment section of our fan base decided to go with.

Sean Dyche got relegated with Burnley and came back the next season. Okay, he wasn't going to take Norwich straight back up, but they have got worse since he left.

If we're ruling out managers who've been relegated from the Premier League, then we're ruling out some good managers.

He had a point, though.

Fergie was as classless as you can get.

Do you want a 'nice guy' like Brian?

No I want Bilic, Wolf or Garcia. The same I wanted when TC was sacked. But Radz will appoint the Morecambe manager or McCarthy.

Not for me.

That Norwich team last season should have been top 6, very expensive squad with real quality, didnt get the best out of it.

That’s correct, he’d totally lost his way at the end and were clueless. Reason they have gone backwards since he left is that they cleared out a large chunk of their senior players and high earners in preparation for the parachute money running out bringing through youth players and signing unknown Germans to fill the gaps.

We need to be looking higher than that though. Wolves get ex Porto and Valencia. Why can't we go in for these kind of managers?

True, but AR said he knows people too, so...

Tbf i dont doubt Radz has extremely good connections.

Theres pictures of him with Mendes, Raiola and he has a perfectly traceable long standing business relationship with the President of PSG.

His business partner is a sponsor of the Globe Soccer awards, dont doubt Radz is extremely connected.

But why he hasnt used them yet i dont know.

Because you know they'll change the rules if we do it.

I agree on both fronts - but neither statement means we should go for him.
