Has the look of the guy who the casting director is having trouble with putting into a role:
Do we cast him as the over-zealous hothead police officer who is also an evil henchman prone to stepping over the line?

Or do we cast him as the concentration camp guard who has just about enough softness in his face to express that he knows what he's doing is wrong?

He can play both, like

I would cast him in that role were he comes across as a nice guy, but turns out to be secretly working for the other side.
on second thoughts he look looks like a band member of Kraftwerk so he may not be so bad as I like them
 
Wanted him here before Martinez mate, his method of play is much better suited to this league than klopps over a season.

He'd develop Barkley hugely and want him to stay imo, and other young players such as Davies, Kenny would benefit hugely from him (as may Dowell)

Earned his spurs at Mainz - and have a liking for a manager who will chance going to win a game over settling for draws - which his two best years at Mainz he did so.

IF he is open to an approach - then we should go all out for him - give him a decent wedge to spend in January - as he would 100% want to bring in pace to this squad and let him do what happened at Spurs after the Bale sale in the following years and get rid of the players he deemed aren't needed before their values plummet massively
I voted no, which is a bit unfair to the guy as I actually would be delighted if we signed him up as our next manager. I love the way Dortmund played football (would need to bring in a bit more pace as you say) and would make going the game a pleasure once more.

But I'm staying loyal to Unsy. I originally wanted him to get the position on a trial/caretaker basis until Xmas and had also just watched his Presser which I thought was most impressive.

Soft Tommy likes to spend his 40's taking the fridays off so he can be with his kids or maybe take the whole family for a long weekend skiing in Innsbruck. Inbetween drinking non-alcoholic radlers and wrangling his little ones around, he appreciates it deeply when he can find an hour of spare time to go rip an unmarked off-piste line like he used to - or just take an invigorating power nap like the rest of us. Soft Tommy is really nice to the underdeveloped lad his daughter brings home as her first proper boyfriend, and he has meaningful conversations with his wife.

Tough Tom has a few secrets he really, really doesn't want you to find out about. Scratch that, it's not a few secrets, it's basically everything. He always gives the impression that he would eat you alive just for invading his personal space, even though he gladly invades yours. If you're a handsome young man or a woman. If he doesn't fancy you, he'll prefer to leave you a passive-agressive note or sending a text like "We need to talk, can you meet in about 4-5 days to talk?" making you walk on pins and needles for the rest of the week. Tough Tom thinks german expressionism is childish dross, Mozart to be foppish and generally only listens to Mahler.

He'd absolutely be one of those Nazi Generals that was plotting to overthrow Hitler, be very 'Ja mein Fuhrer' , but secretly in his diary have lists of "what to do when I am the Fuhrer"

Oh hang on...that's what he looks like?

SWERVE!
 
I refer the honourable gentlemen to the answer I gave in 2013.

Timak said:
Firstly I'm firmly in the pro-Moyes staying camp.

However if he leaves we need a manager who:

Promotes youth
Has a huge knowledge of up and coming European footballers and the contacts to get them
Plays good football
And above all gets consistent results

For me that means someone like Thomas Tuchel from Mainz.

The other names mentioned on this thread are frightening. People who have proved themselves worse than Moyes or wasted millions in the transfer market.

Martinez has a reasonable budget at Wigan compared to the likes of Norwich, Swansea, WBA but has spent 3 seasons struggling in the bottom 5 and losing heavily in the games that take place before March. He has shown nothing that says he can set up a consistent winning team.

Just don't see unsworth as being deemed ready just yet mate, like to see him in an assistant role first and then cut his teeth at a championship club, hrs basically got one chance ever at the job, and hate to see him fail the way Harvey did.

Love to see tuchel come in, a manager who I believe would really value the work unsworth does and foster the bringing through of the best younger players at the club. Ideal scenario is tuchel gets the job, really pushes us on, unsworth as assistant but by tuchels choice and then in 3-4 years steps up to the job when tuchel is head hunted by Bayern.
