Would love Cooper but can't see it. He'll get PL interviews, the 3 that get relegated will have interest and I suspect the Wales job may be open this year.
JDT I would like. His teams play some great football at their best, his philosophy seems to be outscoring opponents which was a feature of our play last season, he promotes youth (look at Wharton as a prime example). He got seriously ****ed over by the board in transfer windows, 3 failed signings on deadline days because of paperwork issues, last seasons best player leaving on a free with no replacement, having to reduce wage bill because the Indian economy went down. And I see him being called arrogant but what I see is someone who is confident in his abilities and speaks very openly in interviews.
Will Still is an interesting one because it seems to me, despite however much he says he's happy, like he really wants to leave Reims. He didn't want the job in the first place but Reims essentially told him he could only leave if he bought out his contract. I have seen them play a few times and while in some games they play some good football, on the whole they are more of a defensive minded team, which i'm not sure fits our squad? He does fit the profile of being a young, bilingual coach though so wouldn't shock me if he ends up here.
Plenty other interesting names out there though, Lee Carsley if he doesn't take the Ireland job, Marek Papszun has been linked and has a very interesting profile and is a serial winner, Ian Evatt at Bolton plays some great football, maybe we go the assistant coach route with someone like Pep Lijnders.
We have a few months to get this absolutely spot on, and it needs to be.
