Just about any decent manager is going to expect a few quid to play with.
I think that we now can acknowledge that "knowing the championship" is just as a good qualification as not knowing the championship - they all give us f... allWhat we need is someone who can make some players play football - not some trickery of the championship. The level of football is much closer to the EPL than it is different. The biggest difference is the frequency of the games.Get a manager that can get them to play FOOTBALL - passing, attacking, defending. Hoffenheim have a 30 year old that ended in 4th in Germany and play great football. He could speak chinese, portuguese or whatever, as long as he also speaks English.
With two weeks to go In the window? Have a day off.
And who were those players and how much was spent on them during those three hectic days?
For all the romantic ideas of Tuchel etc, I think it will be Moyes or Allardyce.Moyes seems to be a busted flush. I don't like Alardyce and never wanted to see him as Villa manager, but he is tactically astute and I think he would probably do a decent job.

I think Moyes, Pardew and Pearson have burnt their bridges at that level and will be looking at their next job being Championship level.
