Until we know what the parameters are for next season it’s hard to know who the right appointment will be.
As a club we have a short term get to the PL and sell, so if the brief is that somehow we survive this year and then we need some stability for a sale, then SA is 100% the man.
If the brief is to spend the full PP amounts and shit or bust our way to promotion next year, then SA is again probably a safe bet.
If it is to sell players and try and cobble together a halfway house and get up next season, then SA again isn’t the right choice and maybe we’d be better with someone like Wilder, Hughton, Cooper or even dare I say a Warnock type.
If the objective is to sell a few assets and reinvest, use some of the youth players we have, and try and build a cohesive side to win promotion in the next 2 seasons, then SA is definitely not the best option and potentially someone like Appleton is a better fit.
Then if the objective is just to asset strip, sell what we have and just be competitive in the Champ whilst Lai looks for any money he can find, we may as well go for Alex Neil, Danny Cowley or whoever.
Then we may decide actually there’s no value to be had in the U.K. market and we want to take advantage of the overseas leagues having very little money... so then why wouldn’t we look Spain or Germany? Plenty of coaches there would jump at the chance to take over a solvent second tier club.
