and had the summer to try to assemble a new squad, with probably minimal investment and the current players who will be here next season...
what style of football/tactics would you be looking to instill?
more possession based? aggressive pressing? direct long balls and strong in each box?
there are many ways to be successful, what direction would you take us?
The Brentford model probably....but I don't think there's enough Danes to go around lolQuote:

Once the backbone of the team is settled, the manager will have something to build on.Quote:

The Brentford model 'alone' wouldn't work for us.Quote:

The model works for them as there are loads of clubs with academies around them that they can't compete with. We have (or should have) limited competition when it comes to signing youth players for our acdemy from South Wales / South West.
In terms of a recruitment model a combination of
a well run academy and finding lower division gems would be good for us.
We seem to be stepping up with youth recruitment, which is promising.
The Brentford model is the total opposite to what we need.Quote:

I'd hammer out warnock , i'd hammer out harris ..i'd hammer out ole, steve and all o.....etc etc
I’d ask them to open the ticket office, so as to encourage more people to buy tickets to support the team
It would be four four fecking two.
It’s the club’s big plan, buy tickets online to watch games online, lay off the stewards and match day staff, save the wages of the lowest paid employees of the club. That’s what it seems like. The obstacles this club puts in the way of its support beggars belief, weren’t they stopping away ticket sales a while before the fixture took place as well recently? Club shop only open now and again and sparsely stocked anyway. Who the feck is in charge commercially? They couldn’t run a fecking bath.Quote:

It took a deflection on its way in thoughQuote:

You can get out of this division with just a assembly of good players knowing their roles. You don't have to play a certain way
We've got tippy tappy Fulham winning the league at a canter and tippy tappy teams proping up the base of the table. We won promotion just by being stronger than the opponent in 2018 season and we didn't have a 'style' when we were promoted in 2013
What we do need is to be better at spending our money and more diligent in our youth.
