Of course only if MM leaves. |  |

He's just a bit of a bell. I'd prefer us to steer clear. |  |

I think a bit like Sherwood, he is seen as quite smug.
But he did an excellent job at Leeds, I like him - his assistant who he didn't take to Middlesborough has just got the boot at Oxford so maybe getting those 2 back together could work again like it has previously |  |

IMO he's not that good, either. The only club where he's really succeeded was Swansea, where he was already well embedded as a player. Did reasonably OK at Leeds, not so much at Boro. |  |

It's a no from me.
Did a terrible job with a massive budget at Boro this year with a top 2 squad already at his disposal. |  | | |

Whilst Leeds didn't eventually hold on, getting them to 7th is an achievement when you see the shambles they have been for most of the last decade - hadn't finished in the top half for the previous 5 seasons but just ran out of puff as the season ended and there were issues with his contract.
He struggled at Boro, just didn't get them going - may be a lack of an assistant that he'd had success with previously? Who knows - but he's an impressive guy I think (Even more so than Tactics Tim.....!)
At Swansea, was strange as they couldn't wait to get rid of him - but he'd kept them up, then finished 8th and they were 15th when he went in December which on the face of it is a decent job. | |

there are tiers of managers
unemployed old guard whose names always crop up - McClaren, etc
slightly younger but established managers - Monk, Rosler, Sherwood - who perhaps have a bit of ego and fall out with owners and always seem to be on the merry go round
younger, promising lower league/foreign managers who are due for a step up. That would be my choice |  | | |

Pep Clotet? Not at all well thought of by fans of his ex clubs.
Monk's ok I suppose, but pretty negative and struggles when the going gets tough (he doesn't seem flexible in his thinking). Clotet is stealing a living by most accounts.
We'd do well to steer clear I think. [Post edited 9 Feb 2018 1:41]
