Not really sure it's a big name, or a big character, but probably i'd say he brings an attacking instinct and a knowledge and perhaps a coaching staff that will change the way we play, which could be a means to an end of our defensive frailties but who knows until we see the changes. As for his coaching time, the most important aspect here I feel is not his time, but his knowledge and leadership. Whelan as most will now is a no frills defensive coach and Meulensteen [if he comes] wears many hats, from club structure, recruitment and player development. I honestly don't believe Carrick can be a success without Meulensteen as he's so knowledgable not just about the total football concept but also putting in a plan for the future.
