Very limited experience, but would certainly get our profile raised and he would have fantastic contacts within uk and Europe. Cesc Fabregas

I confess I really don't understand this clamour for an "experienced championship manager". It's a really poor approach.

Firstly, an actual good/proven "experienced championship manager" will not come here. If they are good and proven, they will go elsewhere (to a good/proven championship club for starters.)

Secondly, it's really important to remember that there is lots of evidence that experience does not necessarily equal expertise/skill in any field. This has been shown in lots of areas, and I think is especially the case in football management. SH has discussed this in the past.

Thirdly, in football (as in life)- past managerial success is a not a great predictor of future success.

Lastly, most of the successful managers in the championship this season have been rookies. They certainly weren't proven managers before they joined (let alone proven Championship ones). These being McKenna, Rosenior, Rohl etc.

Let's not confuse poor execution of a sound approach (IF's appointment) with the idea that the approach itself is wrong. Rohl is a great example of the same approach, executed much better.

Whoever is brought in, legally is it possible for clauses to be put into their contract preventing them from jumping ship mid-season should they be a success by that stage in the season and eyed up by those clubs with money looking to recover their failing season by poaching another team's successful Manager?! otherwise we may find ourselves going through the same crap again, unable to counter any popstaresque salary offers!
Yes. But any aspiring manager won’t sign that contract.

We are a stepping stone. Most clubs are.
