    I would bet he can adapt to a more possession based game which I think is when our players are at their best. Most coaches can adapt easily enough to the players at their disposal these days.

    Of all the coaches we are linked with this fella is the most compelling, to me anyway. His record has more longevity to it, at least at top level. He is in an elite environment, including European football. His squad looks to have plenty of youth, and a mix of nationalities. It is also a big squad by the looks of it.

    This is the sort of coach it seems we are gunning for. To me, this lad seems a step up on the main two linked so far.

    Thelin might well have been interviewed but I wonder if this leaking is down to his agent. “He has another championship option and another European club” just seems like they are trying to panic us to think we might miss out.

    I dont normally do this but a mate of mine did a season in Sweden last year and I have badgered him for his thoughts. He wont have first hand experience as he is u21 coach, but interested to know what the inside view is.

    Thinking about it, Fabrizio Romano seems to be KLD's go to man for bigger news regarding the club and gets the exclusives.
    Replacing Mowbray,
    Amad,
    Even Michut seemed like a big signing at the time.

    Today was the first time he's even tweeted about our situation. It's not a million to guess that he knows exactly who it's going to be and is just waiting for the green light to publish it. Which seems to me that it may not be Thielen and someone else completely as Romano would want the exclusive.

    Don’t think there’s been an out and out link, just online whispers we’ve interviewed a Norwegian

    I would have thought any top coach will obviously have his preferred style of play but if he knows his onions will be able to find a style to suit the players he has available.
