The Rhino and Big Joe double looks pretty good to me. Clough and Taylor all over again. We could do a lot worse.

Jumping to conclusions a bit there buddy.

No room for sentiment. We need the best man for the job. If they happen to be a blue already that's ace but Unsy needs to prove himself elsewhere first.

Clearly a good coach though and a top, top man.
 
That sort of behaviour will result in a ban, as you can see by the massive red BANNED tag he now has.

Given all the changes that are about to happen with the club this summer we will see an influx of new posters which will need to be scrutinised and filtered.

To be honest I would rather them than the likes of Moyes, Hughes etc, but its easy to let sentmentality and a good performance against a poor team on Sunday cloud our judgement.

I think our ambitions are a little bit higher under Moshiri than taking a punt on Unsworth, although it would be nice to think that he could continue to develop under the new manager as a valued part of the coaching staff. I've long thought a boot room approach is what we need at the club and I see Rhino and Joe as a big part of that.
 


Has he won anything of note ?

He joined Espanyol in 1998 but was only there for only a matter of a few months, leaving to take charge of the Argentine national team, they won a gold medal at the 2004 Olympic games, he then resigned at the end of 2004.

He became Chile manager in 2007, and got them to the 2010 world cup. He threatened to leave the Chilean national team if Jorge Segovia was elected president of the Chilean football board, when Segovia was elected, Bielsa carried out his threat and resigned in 2011.

He joined Athletic Bilbao in 2011, and was there for just 20 months, he took them to a Europa league final, and a Copa Del Ray final, losing both.

Bilbao got rid after only finishing 12th in the 2012/13 season.

In 2014 he signed a two year contract with Marseille, but resigned after 15 months after getting beat in his first game of the 2015 season, and
announced his resignation as the result of "conflicts with his management."
