Why are people so against this idea? He's the only manager I've seen linked who's done a good job recently at similar sort of project. Wolves had ambitious owners but the team lacked an identity. He came in, instilled a mentality, came across brilliantly and only had one bad season, the one just finished, where he lost his top goal-scorer early on. Still finished nowhere near danger though.
'Style' of football means nothing, we had a manager who believed in loads of possession and it was probably the worst period I can remember as a 21st century supporter. There's just effective and non-effective football, find a style that's most effective with the players you've got.
Not my first pick but I'd give him a chance.
