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

I'd be looking at the Championship for a start. Eze, Olise, Wharton, Watkins and Bowen all came from there and we seem to think buying from there is below us, but buying players that got relegated after promotion are just fine.

Make Garner captain so when Tarkowski is dropped we don't have another bench dwelling club captain.
 
Start by utilising the squad at my disposal ensuring players play in their suited position, learn how to make substitutions that a) aren't able to be easily guessed by the opposition before we kick off and b) can actually have a tactical impact on the match being played. In addition to that not rewarding players who make constant mistakes with a place in the starting 11 week in week out.
 
2 new full backs and a proper partner for Garner in midfield. If we sign the right players in those positions, that would allow us to start playing through presses and avoid the familiar pattern of Pickford lumping it to the centre forward.

Having a big lump up front is useful but we need to make it our last resort (or just an option) rather than our default build up.
 
One experienced right back (Trippier?) and an Aznou equivalent right back who will get game time. An experienced centre half (Stones?) and a younger, more mobile centre half to compliment Branthwaite and O'Brien. An experienced forward who can lead the line (Toney). Start from there. Bin Patterson, Tarks, Keggers and Barry. Above all, play players in their correct positions and on merit.
