Will bump this thread seeing its becoming a possibility and so Sniffer doesnt get….errr….sniffy about it going in another thread.
Anyway my take on it is still be careful what you wish for. There has been an amount of trawling CH’s record at previous clubs and then holding that agains the perceived qualities of others. Here are some alternative takes on leading contenders
Eddie Howe
the Cherries' defence were lacking in confidence, positional awareness and an understanding who should be doing what. West Ham made them pay for an abundance of ball watching, space between defensive personnel and aimless pointing into those gaping chasms.
Chris Wilder
Last season's robustness has been in stark contrast to displays pockmarked by poor positioning or lapses in concentration, individual errors giving way to collective nerves.
Only Burnley have managed fewer goals and only Newcastle have taken fewer shots, and while that is little surprise for a side that has focused on quality over quantity under Wilder, the Blades have the biggest negative difference between expected goals (7.7) and goals scored (4) in the division so far.
Zinedine Zidane (well he is available, come on wheres your ambition?)
Los Blancos couldn’t step up when it mattered the most, and the players were beaten by a well-determined set of players. And Zinedine Zidane got tactically outcoached by Thomas Tuchel, as the Frenchman had no answer to the German coach’s tactics and perfect setup.
I get the frustration at CH but we have failed with so many different managers I simply do not belive changing is the silver bullet answer that some seem to think.
