It's just like Consilio says, we're bringing in players and coaches with no Championship experience. Or any British experience for that matter.
Not always, but often, it seems foreign players need to adapt to the physicality of the English game, and not flop when wind breezes by them.
I feel as I did before, it's a master stroke or a massive disaster. No middle ground here.
It worked for Watford & nearly worked for Boro.
Tried and tested appointments at Bolton, Forest & Wigan did less well.

You know me MS, always the pessimist.
Believe me when I say though, I really am getting behind this new philosophy regardless of how I feel about the current chess pieces applied.
Time will tell, as always. And I hope to be wrong as we go on to have a successful season with a string of home wins on our new Desso!

If we don't do great, it won't be the system. It will be the HC.

Just find it interesting that where we were strongest, the defense, we have signed 2 defenders already.
Hopefully this new way of doing things works out.

If we need seven players (say two defenders, three midfielders & two strikers), we don't set out to do them in any order. Some transactions happen first but little should be read into it. We have lost Buxton, Kehlar, Zayatte & Mattock this summer so adding defenders was always inevitable, particularly with Loovens injury record & the possibility of playing 352.

I'm not convinced that experience of English football or the Championship matters as much these days as it used to. For starters every game is available to watch going back a few seasons if you want and at the end of the day how many players now in the Championship are foreign anyway??
I would also bet the coaches he has brought in all speak English anyway, one of them I believe worked at the FA for a while over here so he should be good with the language. We are definitely taking on the European model for running the club rather than the British traditional method, and that can mean changing HC more often than we are used to but applying a system of play across the whole club. I think thats worth a try.
As regards foreign players, again not sure its that big a step like it used to be for the players and at the end of the day its about ability and coaching more than anything else. Besides the way English players are so over priced is bordering on ridiculous, look at what Bournemouth paid for a guy I cannto even name theother day, 8m pounds I believe. I would rather get the academy going and buy cheaper, often more technically gifted players and bring through our own youngsters to fill the squad.

A lot of the work these days is done by Analysts who often determine tactics rather than the coach.
