good CV

He fucked up at Köln, but every single coach there in the last fifteen years has fucked up, so I wouldn't hold that against him. He did brilliantly with FC Copenhagen and before then quite well with HamKam, a traditionally lowly Norwegian club side that he got promoted to the top flight and finished 5th in the top flight with in 2004, which I believe is the club's highest finish in the last 40 years.

I think he could do well at Wolves.

Well, they took their time over getting the right man - costing them their Premier League status - but if his record with Copenhagen is anything to go by, he'll do very well there.

I agree. Looks good. Think SSN are being very harsh asking all the players if they've heard of him.

Don't know much about him. What type of football will he have them play?

He's an arch pragmatist, so expect anti-football galore.

Sky showing their ignorance of European football if they're implying he's a nobody.

He may have got FC Copenhagen playing quite pragmatically in Europe, but he coaching style is in no way anti-football.

There's a guy who does a version of Zonal Marking in German. It was the source material for Honigstein's commentary on Koln two weeks ago. And basically when dissecting his time at the Billy Goats, they blame him as much as the chaos of the club for their failure.

He never adjusted his tactics to the players. When they failed, he didn't tweak. He never had a plan B. And he had a weird zonal marking system with no doubling up and no defensive movement between the lines.

Perhaps he will learn from his mistakes, but it seems like Wolves are taking a bit of a risk.

I didn't like him when he was fresh.
