Would a continental manager be better suited to our model

As they are more familiar with The DOF structure as well as a president/owner model.

Judging by the names linked so far, we just want someone who knows his place, won’t kick up a fuss about crap recruitment, and is just grateful to be back in a job.

What's our model?

Buy players the manager doesn't want?

True. But this sort of thing seems to work for other clubs. The last few appointments we’ve made (except Woodgate) have been along the lines of “highest profile manager we can realistically attract”, and that isn’t working either.

100% - simply as the DoF model is much more common in Europe.

That said, I'm not wholly convinced we've adopted the European model?

Our next manager will be a young German and I really hope we exercise patience before calling for her head.

First South American Manager we could have?

Our DoF/ European model seems to be somewhat of a halfway house. We seem to be in a muddle with it.

Currently we have bought players such as Forss, Hoppe and Daniels who in my opinion appear to be in keeping with such a model. At the same time Wilder was requesting donkeys like Connolly, Clarke and Steffen.

I think the DoF plan needs to be worked on, and I'm sure it will. A coach, whether he's European or from elsewhere has got to be fully committed to it. Wilder wasn't. He stated in his first few interviews that he was okay with a DoF, but I think as time went on he simply couldn't handle it.

Surely we won't drop the axe next October as usual though, not during Black History month!!

I've just made up a guy. He's called Sergio Sausages. I want him to get the job. He'd be much better than the other guy I just made up - Henry Sandypuds.

At least he'd be coming with no expectations and no crystallised opinions of him. Might not go down well with us vegetarians though.

But ramadan is in March next year which is a bit close to the season's end.

Chaos mate. Firstly, I had to deal with England losing in the final of a major tournament, then the fallout from our poor start to the season under Warnock (who I was a big fan of as anyone who remembers my posts would know). Then I had another bairn, then there was omicron, and partygate, then work went mental for a few months, then I turned 40, then the Queen died, there was never a good time to make a comeback on here. Anyway, the new bairn is sleeping a bit better now, we have a new PM (who is doing a fine job ), a new King, and soon a new Boro manager, so I thought it was time to stick my beak in again.

Plus, I noticed that if I didn't post again soon I'd drop off the leaderboard altogether.

I thought it was just the sheer brilliance of my post that did it!

Yes, In theory, from the point of view of accepting the structure, but you still need to be able to sign players to suit requirements/style of play, which is something we consistently fail at.

I am impressed you just slipped back in and nobody noticed ( but me). Some people on here do major flounce announcements when they take a break from this Board - you disappeared without trace. Anyway welcome back.
