First of - read this article he did with Stuart Watson - http://www.eadt.co.uk/sport/taiwan-manager-gary-white-wants-to-follow-in-the-foo
Notable things that stand out for me:
Knows what Ipswich is all about, the history, the legacy, the passion, the development, the philosophy.
Air of confidence - Almost that Mourinho from Porto to Chelsea - "i am the special one" approach. Likening how he wants to be remembered like Sir Bobby and Sir Alf in 20 years time. Obviously bold, maybe unlikely but you have to love the air of confidence that would be very handy to pass onto a group of players full on no confidence.
Has a fantastic approach to football - simple approach " let's go and try and win it", encourages his players to "express and enjoy themselves".
Key thing for me was these quotes about unlocking full potential in each individual - " engage with hearts and heads and then the legs will follow"
"you have to see if you are using what you’ve got to the full potential before going to the shops."
"Ask yourself if you giving the players you have got the best opportunity to perform? Spending money is the easy and lazy option."
" I looked to the youths and reserves and found some diamonds there. It’s important not to make your mind up on players based on the opinion of others, but to use your own eyes and ears to form your own opinion."
And most importantly, where ever he has been so far, he has been a success, that cannot be denied, look at the facts.

To be fair, I could say all that stuff in an interview, and still be a disaster.
On the plus side, he would have a deep knowledge of the Bahamian and Taiwanese transfer market. |  |

I am confident that he would be better than you.
Although, the same might well apply to my Nan. |  |

You could say all that stuff in an interview but without any evidence to back it up. I like the sound of this guy.
But equally I like the thought of a man genuinely naming his son after a cleaning product. |  |

Awfully naive to think that he has such a scoped knowledge of the game, assuming because he has managed these nations he is completely oblivious to the rest of the footballing world. A man who dedicated his like since early twenties to management only knows about Bahamian and Taiwanese transfer market. Ludicrous. | |

As long as his ban doesn't extend to wild animals from Canada. They make a pretty valuable contribution to the board... | |

I read the article and he really impressed me. I'd love to give him a shot. Let's take a curve ball and see where we go. It can't be anymore dull than it already is.
Let's get him. I'm sure he would be cheap too. |  | | |

In fairness, he does sound like a relatively cheap yet potentially exciting option. I'd be happy enough with ME taking a risk - but then it's not my money! | |

Talks a good game and, yes, whilst he has been successful where he'd been - it's rather relative to the opposition.
Kuqi was successful in Finland but that is also a far cry from the championship.
Not writing either off, just pointing out that both talk a good game but delivering at this level, on this budget, is a whole different kettle of fish. |  |

True, v. true; how do you ever find out until someone takes the chance i guess. | |

Indeed. That was my thinking, made in a rather more lighthearted fashion. I had no idea it would inflame OP so much.
I regret it now. | |

Harsh.
I don't think David Brent was on the short-list for the England U21 set-up though. | |

Personally after supporting my team for over 40 years now we've reached a junction , a serious junction where we now find ourselves forcibly having to evolve.
If the best way to evolve is with fresh ideas and a gamble then how are we ever going to move forward ?
We do not play on a level playing field financially quite obviously as we don't have an owner who simply throws cash at this little hobby
So my theory is lets have a gamble and employ someone new with fresh ideas to offer us a different edge. The FA themselves albeit an antiquated group , have this guy in high regard. |  |

Young, hungry as well as an interesting background. Considered for the England U-21 set up. We need a change of tack and I'd like to think this would be worth a punt. He also probably won't be expensive. I think it would be an interesting appointment. |  | | |
