Just looking for categories in our potential manager.

1 - Miserable/dour (normally Scottish):
Mowbray, Davies

2 - Young (normally cocky and English, probably dresses sharp)
Robinson, Sherwood Neville, Freedman

3 - Foreign (normally flair and unproven) import
Zola, Rosler, Clement, Kliuvert, Garde

4 - Old wise head
Hoddle, Sven?

5 - Back to basics
Pulis, D. Jones, N. Jones?

- What categories have I missed e.g. Sven, Adkins, N. Jones, Hughton?
- And what category do you want?

I think I want 2 or 4, although 2 might get on my nerves

Surely N.Jones should be in category 2?

Think you've summed it up perfectly there, especially if you mean 'despicable' and 'Adkins'.

I thought Freedman better fit into 2 though, is he dour and miserable or just annoying?
And Clement would have a foreign influence, doesn't have to be foreign himself

That's a decent enough excuse: have a few more over the next week or two.

Tried & failed = experienced = too old

Long ball: Pulis
High line: Hughton
Pressing game: Rosler

Old and tired British manager, no thanks. That knocks out Houghton, McDermott and Pulis.

Only if the owner also owns two or three clubs abroad and can interchange players freely between them.

Don't forget the Burgess Hill Manager unbeaten in the league this season knows the brighton scene although his father has switched to the scum up the road to keep his wife happy.
