I've changed my mind, I want Unsworth with a top drawer DoF, I think it's the romanticism of it all, I don't want to buy titles. I want to win with pride, passion and something I can really buy into with the players. Players and manager and coaches who all get it.

I don't like the idea of spending a fortune on mercenaries, players and manager who are just going to fold if it goes a little bit wrong, or as soon as a better offer comes along

Allow me to sell Cocu to you :

Phillip Cocu, age 45.

Replaced Penis Advocaat at the start of the 2013-14 season, took over a PSV side that had just finished 2nd to Ajax and Lost the Cup Final to AZ.

A shaky start saw him take them to 4th and 3rd round cup exit, CL exit to Milan in the Play Off and a disappointing Europa league group stage exit.

Then a Depay inspired PSV smashed it in his 2nd season, very impressive 17 point winning margin, 92 goals scored.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014–15_PSV_Eindhoven_season
And then this season they again managed to win the league, despite the sale of without doubt their 2 best players in Depay and Wijandum

Notice the GA for Ajax both seasons.

Despite the shorter tenure, I prefer him over FDB. Not sure if he will come over right after his title but if we're unable to get top picks like Emery or Mourinho, Cocu is a nice to have.
 
Also this Season, did pretty well in the CL, managed to finish 2nd in a group with Wolfsburg finishing 2nd, United and CSKA, they met A Madrid in the Round of 16 and after 2 0-0 draws lost on pens 7-8.

All that whilst developing youngsters? Sounds great - what is the catch?
 

Im bored enough to do a De Boer 1.

Frank De Boer, age 46.

Took over an Ajax team that had finished 2nd from Martin Jol, Swerez scored 49 goals.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009–10_AFC_Ajax_season
Replaced Jol in December and managed to end Ajaxs, 6 years I think, long wait for a Title
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010–11_AFC_Ajax_season
And again
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011–12_AFC_Ajax_season
And again
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012–13_AFC_Ajax_season
And again
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013–14_AFC_Ajax_season

See Cocu for the rest.

Lost a vast number of players over the 6 years at the club and still managed to retain the title, until he met Cocu!
