I'm not saying it's impossible at all.
What I am saying is why on earth would we identify a 61 year old man who's not managed a competitive club side in 22 years as somebody to take us forward? Fair play to the guy, he's done well with Germany - but he's done well with an extraordinarily talented group of players - it's hardly a miracle.
Because;
- the fact Germany were not winning stuff when he got there in 2004 but he was part of getting them back on track
- he’s proven he can oversee a long term project at international level so he could potentially do it at club level too
- you’d hope he’d command respect from the players due to the WC winners medal
- we have a DoF who can help with the transition, so he’s not just getting dropped in and being asked to do it all himself
- his work at youth level in Germany suggests he could help develop and improve our own youth set up
- his style of play would appease the section of our fan base who finds that important
- this is his last tournament, so no fee to get him
- he’s a genuinely interesting appointment in a field of uninspiring ones
Yes, it’s a gamble, but if it can work then it’d be amazing. I’d like us to try it if he’s interested
