He's had an unbelievable 2023, I can't see how a decent German side don't come in for him or even a PL side. We'd do very well to get him, even if it's still a good move from Denmark to the Championship.

 

He's quick (not rapid) but quick enough, good first touch, ranks high for dribbles and take ons but his prowess is goalscoring and creating chances, which is obviously what everyone is looking for in attacking players.

As good as Tete??

Not unless he's mastered omnipresence as well as the water and wine. 😉

Opinions on Carl Hoefkens?

I think he's one of the best (young) Belgian managers alongside Kompany (Burnley), Clement (Monaco), Vrancken (KRC Genk) and Karel Geaerts (Union).

 

I would've loved him as the new manager at Leuven. He interviewed for the job as well. This interview took place at Leicester by the way. He must've impressed TOP and the board of Leicester.

A person who has had a single good run, in a single competition over a short space of time is not what we need right now. However hopefully it does show that we’re looking outside of the expected.

I remember Paulo Sousa Piri Piri Pies, and that geezer who made a song about it and went to Pukka Pies.

 

Still scars my memory.

...it was a bit like Shakey taking over from Ranieri!!!

  Phillipe Clement was the manager in charge and built a very exciting team, played using all the pitch, two wingers stretching the opponents. He left to go to Monaco but the team just did not have the same energy.

  It would be interesting if he could step-up and make this work.

That's interesting. I bet Rudkin interviewed him. What's his preferred style? Does he go for youth or experience?

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Tells us more about Hoefkins....I've never heard of him....what's his style tactics his team played?

Why did he get sacked so quickly aswell

If he likes to play long ball football we can call him Hoofkens.

Because he offers the Pearson approach of rebuilding the structure of the club into something functional once more. 

[teblin]

Averaged 1.89 point a game over the 18 games in charge. 86 points in a 46 season. 
 

Would be a massive gamble again and very strange appointment.

That’s exactly how it would end up, almost to a tee. We’d be the XG merchants. 
 

But he’d probably get us up, keep us in the Premier League and leave us in a good place. And as of right now, that sounds pretty appealing. He’s also a lot more humble, which fans would appreciate.
