I wasn't sure about De Boer at first but I'm slowly coming round to the idea. If he brings all his coaching staff and maybe a couple of good players from Ajax for starters I would be quietly happy. All the best Roberto, maybe the Celtic job where he doesn't have too worry about defence would be perfect for him.

He won't be bringing his staff apparently.

I think he probably would but less so without Bergkamp and Stam. Ajax's record over the last 2 seasons is a concern, but their finances dictate that they sell their best players every year and since he joined that amounts to almost a full world-class team having left. Under the circumstances, he's done a great job and he's good at developing young players, which should be high on our priority list. He's a good tactician, mixes an attacking philosophy with the discipline and organisation needed to make it work. He encourages his players to press the opposition, which we need to get back to. He's worked with and learned from some of the best ever. He's got history with Barcelona and maybe we could exploit that to bring in a couple of prospects on loan? Cruyff rated him, which says a lot. My shout, though, as it was even when Moyes left, is Lucien Favre. He would transform us. A less popular option, Jocelyn Gourvennec, will be a superstar once he's given a chance at a big club. I think we could get either of them and personally I rate both more highly than FDB, but I doubt we have the imagination as a club or a fanbase to go with either of them because we want a big name who's won something rather than a guy with the right skills to take us forward.
