Succession Planning - Managerial Wishlist

I’ve written to him and told him if he doesn’t join us he will make the likkle baby jesus weep! That should do it ;)

But my word, I would be buzzing off the planet if we landed him! Terrific. Manager with a planA, B, C and D.
I really rate him but tbf that is kind of the opposite of a fair description of him

His plan is: counterattack

That really is it. He's a wonderful manager and I would LOVE him here but he only has plan A, which is why they got knocked out by Macclesfield - no idea what to do if expected to dominate the ball and break down a low block

I hear what you are saying but i think its a bit of an oversimplfication. Being counter attacking first doesn't mean that he hasn't got a plan when playing a low block. Cup games are notorious for weird results. There's a shortage of players who are very good 1v1. We are lucky to have some like Ndiaye for instance. Also let's have some context here, at Wolfsburg and Frankfurt he regularly had to dominate territory against low blocks and not just counter. He also used different formations in other teams such as 3421, 4231, 433. So he's got a particular philosophy but to say he has only got a plan A isn't fair I think. Either way get him here Everton!

I think it's his only really big flaw and I'd be concerned about him moving to a top club who are expected to have all the possession for that reason

On the other hand I think there's very few better managers for taking a mid-level club up a level.

This summer will be fascinating manager wise, so many interesting ones almost certainly on the move -

Glasner
Iraola
Hoeness
Perez
Maresca
Alonso
Pochettino?
Fabregas?

God knows if we're looking in that bracket but regardless the domino effect will be huge

Glasner, please.
He's not the messiah.
He's a very naughty boy.
