for me it has to be... 1. Pascal Jansen 2. Will Still 3. Rene Maric 4. Liam Rosenior 5. Heckingbottom 6. Challinor 7. Robinson
I'll show my working out: Will Still Highly regarded, very young coach from abroad but is English, success in Belgium and France with smaller clubs. Also we've been tracking him for over 6 months, this feels like the ideal candidate to me. Paul Heckingbottom Former Sunderland player, has a very recent promotion from the Championship on his record, feels like a decent fit to me. Liam Rosenior Did well to get Hull back in contention but fell short, a young coach with some good ideas, not fully convinced if he has the CV to get us into the top-6. Pascal Jansen Did well at AZ over several seasons alternating between 4th and 5th behind the big boys Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord. Was unable to unseat any of them over the course of his tenure. Did his job at AZ to the letter but didn't exceed. Rene Maric Has a great youth coaching CV but remains untested as a coach in mens football. Hard to judge.
https://x.com/CoachesVoice/status/1798310737259159823 • Starting coaching at 19 • Talking football with Rinus Michels • Developing Cody Gakpo, Tijjani Reijnders and Milos Kerkez • Managing against Postecoglou and Moyes • Beating Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio Pascal Jansen’s long read... That was quick
If we are going purely on their fit with this squad and under the current model i'd go; Jansen Maric Rosenior Still Challinor Hecky Robinson
Right! That it! I've had all that I can stands, I cant stands no more! If not one of you BASTARDS is gonna tell us that we have managed to hook anybody, ANYBODY, anytime soon, then I will not be able to control myself any longer and be forced to give myself the granddaddy of self inflicted wedgies!
You've said that before. Apart from Crosby of course, which could be derived from Old Norse or from Gaelic.
For all the Maric heads, is there not a tinge of concern over him being a youth coach mostly and not having a proper managers job yet? Just curious.
The English are an amalgamation of peoples from North West Europe (Anglo, Saxon, Britons, Norse, Normans, Jutes etc) and Anglo is just a synonym for that. Crosby is Anglo.
I know, he is in Bataan and time difference is canny, but he moves back to UK in 2 months. We can chat a lot easier than him waking me up asking for knarrings
