Agreed. He's very good at developing players too. But, this is his first job in a top league and he's only a year in - big risk in terms of experience?

He got Nice to their highest finish and Champions league football and also had Balotelli playing arguably the best football of his career. The thing Favre, he hits a brickwall. He's very good at getting teams overachieving and into European football - which is where largely most of his success has come. He hits a brickwall when it comes to getting teams over the line in terms of winning leagues etc. But, that's not the job we are looking for in the short term, we actually just need Favre to do what he does best, get teams playing good football, develop players and get us moving up the league. Longer term, obviously he could be an issue, but I don't think he's a long term appointment anyway, he's 62/63 now.

Favre is the most obvious choice. He's a brilliant man manager, tactically very versatile and has done the job/journey we need to go on over next few years in 2 of his previous 3 jobs. (and done it well). He's took the job at Gladbach in a relegation fight and had them in the champions league in 2 years. I also think a quiet, dignified and unassuming manager over the next few years might be just what we need, especially considering how much noise there will be off the pitch. Also, the ASM story is red herring imo, ASM played 38 times in that season they had together., whilst also producing his best numbers, 5 goals and 8 assists.

I just know how the report is formulated.

That's not strictly the way it works - there’s a call for evidence in January for the report, then once all the information is gathered, the report is published in April.

Smash it?

Didn't George Caulkin say it was legit?
