Gucci Mane said:
While he did win the league 4 times in a row with Ajax, he did it largely through playing slow, boring football and and unwillingness to change things when they weren't going well. He also won the league with low points totals (73, 76, 76, 71) where PSV just won it last year with 88 points and 84 the season just gone.

Also his record in the 'big' games in the league was really poor and his main goal was to improve their European performance which he has consistently failed to do. He failed to qualify from the Champions League group stages once and barely managed to qualify for the Europa, even then group games were dire.

There's also complaints about his ability to handle players with egos, namely Kishna and Denswil who were both sold off for peanuts upon De Boers request.

The Ajax fans largely weren't arsed when he left either, which is telling.

I wasn't keen when he was linked with us, as Mclaren won the league over there ffs.

He might be a cracking manager, but he'd be a gamble in this league imo.

Ah okay, thanks Gucci. Good info.

Before everyone gets too hung up on betting odds, best to remember Howe and De Boer have also been strong favourites since the Koeman to Everton stuff surfaced.

Very true - though they were obvious names. Garcia seems to have suddenly appeared from nowhere. It's the first time I've heard him linked with the job & suddenly he's also favorite - someone has put a lot of money on him very quietly!
