Came across his record when looking through the European leagues. 
 

Was a bit turned off with the average age of his squad. 
 

Turkey is the ultimate cesspit for experienced journeymen, for instance he signed Jonjo Shelvey.

Went down to Anstey today, I fear I’ve fallen back in love with Richie Wellens and I want him on the touchline next season with Gally and Kingy assistants.

 

Make it happen. 

Having watched him play yesterday I wouldn't say no.  He was the main leader out there and clearly has a will to win.  Seems like he would be no nonsense type of manager.

 

Plus he's still better than our current midfield on the ball

Not sure you can read to much in to the average age of squads in Turkey  only one team below 25 apparently

Plus the club could make a fortune out of I blame Wellens merch.

Same here, heard it from a guy who refills the vending machines in seagrave. RVN came up to him in the corridor and whispered in his ear. Take it or leave it

Looking abroad, there’s just far more better leagues to target where youth development is concerned, that’s why I’m very high on Will Still as Ligue 1 is a perfect league to look at. 
 

But you have a few others scattered around, your good mate Alessio Lisci being one.

Did he take the Wispa or leave it?

Asked ChatGPT for an Italian coach suggestion given our record of success with managers of that nationality, and it suggested Alberto Gilardino. Any thoughts on him?

 

Got to say, it is impressive with how it does its analysis - gave me a decent strengths vs. weaknesses. Even if Rudkin has very limited knowledge of the market outside of the UK, it's such a simple tool and you'd hope they were at least exploring it to broaden their thinking. 

 

Interestingly, having set developing young players are a key criterion, it keeps suggesting Bo Svennson, with Will Still highly favoured as well.

Oh man Lisci, Mirandes had a little dip but have picked up again, feel like them going up makes him harder to get but it's the only way our club would have any idea who he is.

Gilardino could probably do a job as a Vardy replacement

Send his CV to Rudkin 👍🏻

@kingfox I know he was one you had mentioned

He was definitely going to end up somewhere, Rangers has completely come out of the blue, the likes of Marco Rose and Gerrard were favourites only a few days ago. 
 

But who needs a novice Italian, when you can pick the likes of Gerrard, Brussel and Dyche. 

[winteriscoming]

The only hope I have is that these names I don’t want - Dyche, Martin and Carsley have already been mentioned and someone else is lined up. 
I know this sounds ridiculous with these idiots in charge but here’s hoping. 

[CosbehFox]

Rangers as clueless as us then.

I spent a lot of time in Istanbul and I remember the first time I learned there's a district called Eyup Sultan. Struggled to keep a straight face any time someone mentioned it
