Good assessment. I admit to being hard to convince about the seeming obsession with young wonder coaches from the continent. I think some owners are being seduced by the prospect of another Pep or Klopp being unearthed. If it is Still, and I would be surprised, I hope he is as good as the budding reputation. For me though there would be better options out there if we perhaps broadened what seem to be our criteria.

it would definitely be a punt. I like a punt.

Farke had 56 games with Dortmund B team before Norwich brought him in and went up and Corberan had a handful of games in Cyprus before Huddersfield brought him in and got to the playoff final in his second season. I get the reservations but everyone starts somewhere.
Yep, they do. Lets see, he will have my backing if it is him. Just thinking we could do better but it is just an opinion.

I had never heard of Sable before this morning. Could be a good or bad thing I suppose.
I read his name last night when he was linked and info about him is sketchy to say the least.

The little bits I have read is he's been an assistant and very occasional (6 game) caretaker manager.

Certainly not awe inspiring in my humble opinion
 
Really hope it’s someone from abroad that I haven’t heard of. The mere thought of the usual names getting bandied around in the press is quite depressing. You just know if it’s one of them, then we’ll be in the same position in a years time.
 
Forgive me if this is a daft question. Anthony Barry was getting mentioned a bit. Is he a non-starter due to being with Bayern and Portugal?
 
Isn't that simply what's been created by the supporters?
I think so and hope so mate. It would be bizarre, to me at least, to exclude coaches who are older for example. Nuno is available for example, imagine what a statement of intent he would be. People will point to wages, but our owner talks about ambition etc...

Whoever we bring in is going need time to stamp his style and authority on the squad and team.

December has an unforgiving schedule with games thick and fast, which you would assume would make it tricky to get their ideas across

think Mowbray put that thinking to bed he is no spring chicken.
