You asked for 1, I gave you 7.

He also built a team able to win the title at Alkmaar and knocked Ajax off its perch, in his time at PSV he spent 100m and recouped 200m in player sales, whilst building a squad that won 3 League Titles.

With Rutten as coach, PSV beat Feyenoord 10–0 in a home game on 24 October 2010, a historical win and Feyenoord's heaviest defeat in their club history. Meanwhile, the club experienced liquidity problems, but secured its future through loans and property sales.[58] Key players Ibrahim Afellay and Balázs Dzsudzsák were sold and as a consequence, director of football Marcel Brands spent €25 million to improve the squad.[59] But in the 2011–12 season, the team dropped out of the title race early again, which led to Rutten's dismissal. Phillip Cocu finished the season as caretaker, leading the team to a third place and a KNVB Cup after beating Heracles Almelo.[60][61][62] For the 2012–13 season, Dick Advocaat returned as head coach, while Mark van Bommel returned from Milan. Despite 103 league goals, the team ended as runner-up in both Eredivisie and KNVB Cup. Advocaat, who struggled with the job's intensity, left after one season.[63][64] In 2013, Cocu was appointed as head coach.[65] On 18 April 2015, PSV won the Eredivisie after a 4–1 win over Heerenveen. This was their first league title since 2008, and it ended a four-year domination of the league by Ajax.[66] On 8 December 2015, PSV reached the knock-out stages of the Champions League, becoming the first Dutch club to do so since the 2006–07 Champions League season.[67] PSV defended their league title in 2016 owing to a 1–1 draw between Ajax (who led the table prior to this day on goal difference) and 17th-placed De Graafschap in the last game of the season.[68] After finishing third in the 2016–17 season, PSV once again claimed the Eredivisie title in 2018 with a 3–0 win against Ajax, who were in second place.

Ah yes,but is he any good?
 

All this is great for PSV. Davy Klassen was good for Ajax. Unearthing players to play in a poor league is a lot easier than finding players to play in the Premier League.

Also, Steve Walsh got Leicester half of their title winning side......
 
He's got to have a really amazing window to turn this around.

Im not on the brands out side but id hope we see how the window goes before extending his contract.

Luis Campos at Lille seems to be doing a sterling job of things in France.
 
I am disappointed he hasn't sorted the midfield out essentially he can look at most of the players has has bought as potential. But we need reality
 
What’s the point in giving him more money to spend? He’s had two windows and we’re staring down the barrel of a bottom half finish.

It is completely unacceptable.

Why doesn’t the club play the same way from the youth teams up? This is one thing that’s baffled me

Because we don't even have a defined style of play in the first team. We've changed our way of playing so much over the last couple of years, what would be implementing?

I'm also not convinced it's a good plan to be honest. It's fine if you're Barcelona or City, with the resources to cherry pick the best players from around the world who suit what you're doing, but for us? Can we really afford to turn our noses up/completely change the game of a gifted young number 10 because he doesn't fit into our 4 4 2? I don't think we can.
