You're the New Manager. How do you Rebuild?

[orchard]

As above, but let's please be realistic about it and not throw everyone in the dumpster and consider contractual obligations.
Maybe LOAN/SELL/BACKUP tags. I'll add my effort later.

 

[kev]

Boo!
'you're' out

 

[Vagner Love]

Buy a competent left back and right back for a start

 

[Bedfordblue]

Recruit experienced PL players and go and get players I’m familiar with from previous jobs.

Players I can trust to do a job and steady the ship.
Yours truly
David Moyes

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Surround myself with some world class coaching staff for starters - not just mates/jobs for the boys.

I’d love to see us become a back three team

-so good new CB w/ pace and Aznou slots in as a wing-back and see if he has the minerals?

Being realistic, with a similar formation, i'd keep Myko for now and blood Aznou on the wing whilst building his defensive capacity.
But yeah, Good right back deffo and either sell Patterson and replace with a youngster like Aznou (depending on what we were aiming for) or keep as backup.

…just as Moyes is doing, leave it to him.

 

[NeilMorepies]

I’d resign. Booo!

@thegoodmods can we threadban @Eggs pls? He's obviously no longer of sound mind and all that.

 

[COYBL25]

Give Joeys brother the keys to the scouting department.

 

[Rehnman]

Recruit younger (not teenagers, but early-twenties) players who are hungry, on an upward trajectory, ready for an opportunity to step up and take more responsibility, and are team players, even occasionally taking their AirPods out when in company. The Championship would be my first port of call - Semenyo was still there at 23, Eze at 22, Olise plucked from there too. I’d supplement that with the odd player closer to their peak to set standards and provide leadership. I’d tell them how a similar squad forty years ago was transformed by the decision to go on the front foot, press the life out of the opposition and become one of the best teams we’ve ever had and how history was now going to repeat itself, as history tends to do. And then I’d smear blue paint on my face, break into Anfield at night, plant a flag in the centre circle and shout “yippee ki-yay mo-fos! Yippee ki-yaaaaaaay!”
