Mr Weller Posted 29 December 2018 Posted 29 December 2018 There seems to be an emerging consensus about Puel; that he has a good long term vision but little tactical guile. In other words, he is successfully building a club for the future but not so successfully managing the present team. Could it be that he is cast in the wrong role? It happens to many managers when they get older. Their acquired wisdom is great for establishing an overall strategy and even culture, but their energy and ability to work directly with the players wanes. He seems slow to react, stubborn and rather stuck in the tactical past, preferring a very deliberate build-up to the faster counterattacking style currently in vogue but he is also calm, experienced and keen on growing young players. This begs the question as to whether both the Puel out and in camps are wrong. What if he were given a different role-perhaps albeit at the end of the season-as a long term strategist, but left the day to day tactics and management to a younger man? I’m not certain this would work by any means but it might. What do people think?
nwl fox Posted 29 December 2018 Posted 29 December 2018 It's an interesting point, but I think it's highly unlikely he'd be open to it.
volpeazzurro Posted 29 December 2018 Posted 29 December 2018 There's been a mere suggestion, certainly no emerging concensus.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 29 December 2018 Posted 29 December 2018 In the words of Danny Zuko... "Mr Weller, Weller, Weller... huh?!?!"

volpeazzurro Posted 29 December 2018 Posted 29 December 2018 Can we have anything but yet another Puel thread. This is getting duller than his critics accuse him of being!

Because dear he’s in his 3rd full season in this league and has not learned a damn thing with 2 clubs about how to play at home against mid to low table opposition. I’d have anyone over this guy literally anyone even Steve Mcclaren
