It should be next chief scout, not next manager.

The chief scout doesn’t get the midfield and defence to back off 5 yards to allow the opposing team more space and create chances.

The chief scout doesn’t select a formation which clearly doesn’t work.

The chief scout isn’t one who should have a plan b in the event plan a doesn’t work

The chief scout doesn’t play players out of position to fit a system which isn’t working.

Jolly good, you've done your research. The chief scout doesn't make the breakfasts in the morning either. The chief scout does though, along with the rest of the recruitment team, share the accountability for finding players appropriate to play in the PL. That objective has not been successfully achieved and is fundamental to the problem.

Slightly older, but Guus Hiddink? He might give our youngsters a start and is ideally placed to trawl the Chinese market.

Nah too much Premier League experience we need someone relatively new to the Eredivisie.

Or Calde!!!

Dieter Hecking. Has turned Borussia Monchengladbach in to a solid top half team in Germany with a few runs in Europe, before that he even won some silverware with Wolfsburg. He’s not having his contract renewed in the summer as he’s being replaced by Marco Rose (who would have been my first choice).

He’s built a very good youngish squad there which has real potential to kick on. Hazard, Ginter, Plea, Zakaria etc.

I hope so too, but I'm not confident. I found CHs post match comments almost just as worrying. It could have been worse... We were up against a dynamic team (who had a worse away record than us) ... What's the opposite of fighting talk!?

and here in is my big concern with our Chris. There is no doubting his is a top top guy. He’s done so much for us and for that we should be very grateful. One his best attributes is his measured and respectful way in which he conducts himself and what he says. No ‘look at me Im Billy Big orlocks’, and that’s fine’ish talking that way to the press when things are going well. However I’m concerned that that humbleness is taken into the dressing room. It could also be that talking up theopostiton as he does through his style, ie ‘we came up against a very talented team’ etc etc starts to rub off subliminally to our players. When do they start to think that they are hearing ‘The other team are talented, we’re not’?

Now I’m not saying that is the case, I’m just struggling to make sense of what we are seeing happpen right now with our team.

Oh, almost forgot who for next manager? I’m not clued up on European footy to be honest so can only base on UK. In the basis we were to go down, i’d take a punt on Nathan Jones, as for in the Premier I really don’t know.

I'm #HughtonIn BUT if he was to go, my pick would be Chris Wilder which would only happen if Sheff Utd don't go up
