Good question, I don't know! I also don't know how many UK-based coaches are available, within budget, with the right qualifications and interested in coming to us. The number of overseas coaches in football now would suggest, to me at least, that there aren't that many, especially at PL and Championship level... I still wonder though, what actually makes him a better option than hiring someone from any number of UK based coaches with 3 of their chosen assistants? Is the football they play in Bosnia and Croatia that much more special somehow in terms of developing coaches than English football? Ok, he has some experience of UEFA competitions, but it mostly consists of qualifying for the Europa Conference League and getting knocked out early!
As most seem to be saying, hopefully we strike lucky this time.
When a handful of top-half Championship teams are all on the hunt for managers, it's hard to see many of the proven Championship managers picking us over them in our current state.Good question, I don't know!

It seems British managers have one failure and that’s it they should never work againNot just that, how many "proven" Championship managers are actually available anyway? There's a whole lot of failed ones.
I'm assuming this bloke'll turn up after his hols...
Anyway, I'm just glad we've got somebody in early, tick, he's won things, tick, he speaks English, tick, looks like he favours 'recognisable' football, tick. Just hope he's not a yes man, he doesn't look like one...
UTT!
Have to wonder if Andy Dawson has a significant role these days or is his a grace and favour position. He's done well to survive 4 manager changes!https://x.com/bazdjcooper/status/1930875301027795021?t=3aUKfezgUCuwvVGXkl4Vug&s=19
Another promising sign I guess? Meaning, properly supporting / resourcing on the coaching side (as Bendrews comments on that thread).
Now for the same on the playing front please!
I imagine his value is simply (or mainly tbf) in having someone around who knows the club and league inside out. Continuity.Have to wonder if Andy Dawson has a significant role these days or is his a grace and favour position. He's done well to survive 4 manager changes!
He’s got big ears !
100 percent. That’s why I was happy to see Newcastle win a pot this year. All the fuss over non uk managers and loads fail.It seems British managers have one failure and that’s it they should never work again
Is dyche a failure after been sacked by Everton?
Is moyes after Man U
Fat franks done brilliantly at Coventry when most on here were willing him to fail
Alex neill deemed a failure after Stoke
It’s never going to work out at every club
we must just like sexy sounding foreign coaches
It's soooo *** packet.
Manager......but we won't see him for weeks. Does he have any input to targets....doubt it.

Did his work permit go through with no problems?..
