Succession Planning - Managerial Wishlist

Really? I know Holland was at England with Southgate from U21s to the senior team but they don't have a connection at club level.

Holland is a very experienced assistant who has worked under loads of managers and was out of work. I don't think it's a clear indicator of Southgate being the No1 target. If they wanted Southgate I'm not sure why they'd be messing around with an interim.

Putting an interim in place points more towards they have someone in mind who is either under contract till the end of the season or has a World Cup to deal with first.
Yeah, probably means nothing at all. if they like what they see from Carrick, they could end up giving him the chance.

It wasn't a rumour or anything, just an observation that wouldn't be out of this world if it did happen..
 
I do agree with you on this.

Sending Armstrong out was a bad move, also knowing we would have to use Aznou and or Dibling at some point during the Christmas AFCON period and he gave them almost zero game time.

He would rather shuffle his best 11 players about out of position instead of giving these kids a chance to grow in the last 15-20 minutes of games.

It took Armstrong longer at Preston to get a start than it did coming back here.

What you are seeing now is half a season of gametime behind a lad.
Not half a season of bench time.
