Michael carrick into 6/1 second fav

I could have understood the cost argument if we didn’t then go and blow 30 million the following summer plus whatever Monk cost us, If that was spend in the January we probably would have stayed up.

We definitely could have afforded a better manager than Agnew, but if we couldn’t then why sack Karanka? We would have stood a far better chance of staying up if he stayed but even if we went down he would have brought us back up
The money we spent in the champo was from sales from the prem. we just bought really badly in the championship and had a dreadful untrustworthy manager. We stuck with Karanka’s past the January and then we were bolloxed
 

The story of Hannes Wolf

Born in Bochum, Hannes Wolf started out as a striker playing for various youth teams and in the minor leagues. After realising that a career as a football player wasn’t going to do any good for him, Wolf turned to coaching and management. He started out as an assistant (player-coach) to Theo Schneider at SGE Ergeste and ASC 09 Dortmund. After these stints, he joined Borussia Dortmund as a youth coach. He became the coach of Dortmund U-19 in July 2010 managing till February 23,2011. He then managed Dortmund u-17s and Dortmund 2 before joining Stuttgart in September 2016. Hannes Wolf led Stuttgart back to the Bundesliga in their first attempt winning the second division whilst also creating a brand of football that the Bundesliga 2 would not forget easily.


Hannes Wolf is known for his development of youngsters. Julian Weigl, Christian Pulisic and more recently Benjamin Pavard have all prospered under Hannes Wolf’s tutelage. Christian Pulisic’s dad Mark credits Wolf for helping Christian acclimatize to new surroundings. Mark said, “Most important was Wolf. He helped Christian get accustomed to his new life, as a coach and friend, both on and off the field.”

Wolf was Dortmund U-17s manager when Pulisic moved to north Germany, and a very successful one at that. With the U-17s he won 2 league titles in 2014 and 2015; then, for good measure, he also won the league with the U-19s after moving up the ladder the following year. Wolf’s early years at Dortmund were filled those title successes but ultimately, his most lasting legacy might well be the unearthing of players like Pulisic.

Jurgen Klopp has a huge influence on Hannes Wolf. In 2009, he attended a gala for the local sportsman of the year, at which Klopp was a guest. The Dortmund manager knew of Hannes Wolf by reputation and requested him to join Dortmund and soon Wolf was installed at the Westfalenstadion.

“[Klopp] changed everything,” said Wolf. “We worked together for six years and I was able to see his training, to be part of it. I saw everything. It’s difficult to say in words how much [it influenced me], because it’s not only about understanding how training works, but everything to do with the club. He was always helping me — there was a lot of brilliant input for a young coach at this time. It was an unbelievable experience and a big part of me.”


Wolf is not a typical modern coach implementing a particular style and staunchly sticking to it. Rather Wolf sets his team to be more fluid — pragmatic, even — and to be adaptable depending on the circumstances. Modern in his own way, Wolf is a coach that is capable of being reactive and adjusting his team in accordance to the situation and the opposition in question.




 
If it aint Carrick then looking at the list I think I would prefer Dyche to either Edwards or Corberan. Thats if he buys into the structure and wants to come.

I just cannot see how he fits in with the Head of Football, no experienced signings, developing younger players type model we are meant to be on our way down now. One that has caused obvious problems with our previous two experienced 'big name' managers.
