It does seem very short sighted as far as our scouting is concerned. Granted maybe now isn't the time to go 'exotic'* but we've been in a position to appoint a manager based on their style of play and philosophy in the past and have played safe.I hate it mate. Really hate it.
I mean I understand why we’re shopping where we are. I just don’t like it.
There is obviously talent beyond the Premier League but we seem unwilling to look further afield or don't trust a manager to do the job. Instead we wait until they're established in the PL and pay through the nose (similar to our transfer dealings).
*Imo there is nothing exotic about recruiting a manager from Europe, it's been standard practice for years.
