Shota hasn't won anything. Berg won the polish league with Legia. Then there's FDB of course.
Frank de Boer has a better CV than numerous managers rumoured/linked with the job, but that doesn’t make him he best candidate for the job.
I don’t believe for one minute that the support would be willing to give him the time or show the patience required to do it his way. His philosophy is a long way away from what we require right now. There are question marks over his man management skills, ability to make changes, learn from mistakes. lack of plan b when it’s not going his way. His football is seen as entertaining until he’s found out and then it becomes one dimensional, stubborn and predictable. All sounds quite familiar.
Michael Preud’homme has a better CV than a Pardew or McInnes, that doesn’t make him a better pick than those two. I’m not sure if he’d be able to handle the pressure up here, the attitude towards him from the media, the fact he’s a few poor results away from a crisis. Not long ago he was needing a break after 40 odd years in football.
GvB has probably won a more prestigious trophy than Pardew, I’d have Pardew over him every day of the week.
McClaren has a better CV over a Karanka, Bilic, O’Neill, Coleman and McInnes.
McClaren also boasts a better CV than Sean Dyche and although we can’t afford or attract (using this as an example) the Ginger Mourinho, he’s by far a better option.
So, it’s not just about who’s got the best CV as in our case the men in for the job are of a mediocre standard and will probably never land a top job in one of the top leagues.
