In terms of the good attacking Football I heard a good quote from Paul Merson on Soccer Saturday a few weeks ago.
Every fan wants their team to play beautiful attacking Football yet sometimes the players cant manage it and the majority of team that try it results in them slipping down the leagues... Only the likes of Chelsea / Arsenal / Manchester City can afford to play good attacking football at the time because they've got the resources to go out and buy the flair players that cost money
Can i throw Vital Borkelmans into the mix. According to someone on Not606 he is down the training ground.
Sounds like he's suitably qualified. His only club management experience is as follows:
In January 2010, he was appointed manager of Dender EH in the Belgian Second Division, but fired following the relegation to the Belgian Third Division following the 2011-12 season.

Sounds perfect. We might as well give it to Morgan Fox.

I can think of a few teams who have played good attacking football from outside the premiership. You need a good solid back four that we had which was a start but unfortunately you also need a good creative midfielder who drives the team forward and a striker who can hold the ball up and bring the rest into play. Easier said ( typed ) than done though .
Thats the thing though... there are very few good enough Creative Midfielders at this level... Its more about being up for the fight and having the guile to win matches

Not impressed with his Vital statistics...
It doesn't matter. He's got the only one that matters to Duchatelet.

Swansea, Southampton...
Southampton had the beauty of having Adam Lallana coming through their Youth Academy though along with Morgan Schneiderlin

And good coaches willing to put the time in. Swansea have got every single appointment correct since League Two to maintain this and therefore sign the type of player needed.
I would take Dave Jones over another foreign coach with no Championship experience but we all know we are going to get an RD puppet.
A Belgian or Belgian league manager probably but that doesn't make them a puppet (or yes man) does it? I wouldn't say Riga or Peeters were puppets.
So do you think they had any say in the players that we brought in ?
Peeters had some input yes, that's not the same as having control. The obvious example is Vetokele who he had worked with before. Riga wasn't here when the transfer window was open, but I expect it would have worked in the same way.
That doesn't make them puppets, it's how it works at clubs across Europe. They were appointed as head coach after all.

Although, the fact that Matthew and Roberts are in charge for Saturday suggests the club are taking the next appointment a bit more seriously this time and are maybe looking beyond the network rarther than parachuting one of their own in.

But the difference is The Network. There is the pressure to take players from the Network to plug squad holes. For example do you think Watt is the type of striker to play alongside Vetokele? And if you resist, you are considered by the owner to be difficult, not a believer in the Grand Strategy. That is basically what happened to Powell.

I'd pick yourself in between the sticks Ben if you are still registered, at least from what I recall you're not afraid to come for crosses and are comfortable with ball at your feet. :-0

You know what. Stuff it. I just want a manager who will get us playing attacking football. Is that too much to ask for?!?!

@JeanSmyth Would love to relish the chance if going back there
Apparently referring to us.
Head coach of Golden Arrows, SA.
Would be welcomed back?

Waiting a week isn't ideal, especially in the transfer window?
But I guess it is RD, so gawd knows!
