I`d say they went for a good coach, that has more of an impact in the rise of a club than anything else, just look back through history with Sir Alex Ferguson, Wenger and now Klopp.
Our board would have never ever in a million years have ever gone for a coach like Wenger or Klopp, how many had heard of them when they were appointed? We picked absolute crap, I even remember Megson being rumoured to get the job at one point, apart from getting Carlo the rest were just crap no one else wanted.
Thats is how we got Dyche, passed up for every single PL job, not hard to see why.
Next man needs to be a proven winner with proven track record and the highest standards......
