The managerial shortlist

[Kit Kat Chunky]

Rene Hake....next name linked, and from a reliable source...Fabrizio Romano

Apparently 1 of 3 candidates

just did a little research on Hake, apart from the joy of fishy jokes, his record is distinctly underwhelming.  He hasn't lasted long at any of the Dutch clubs he's managed or enjoyed any real success anywhere, with no experience of English football apart from a brief stint working as an assistant to ten Hag at Manure.  Its a no from me.

Bit of context..

He hasn't lasted long at clubs as he's ended up getting better jobs after doing a decent jobs. Spent a lot of time as assistant in early years before picking up manager roles. 

Promoted from Utrecht's feeder club to Utrecht, gained them promotion then got them to seventh and European qualification the year after. 
Moved to Go Ahead Eagles and spent two years there taking them into Europe for the 1st time since the 70s
 Ten Haag then took him to United.

Not saying we should, but his CV ain't that bad.

Sounds like AFI.

AFI got clubs into Europe before he came to us?

He didn't coach in any Mickey Mouse Leagues. Go Ahead Eagles play to less than 10K a week. Halesowen Town would give them a game.
