I'd be going for him or tedesco if I was in charge, dont buy this we need experience stuff, if we appointed an experienced manager then he'd be labelled a dinosaur within a couple of weeks.
I mentioned earlier on the thread the foreign options I'd consider.
I'd suggest the domestic options aren't too optimistic, I'd take Hughton and then I think it's slim pickings

So will Hudson be in charge against Cardiff? Seems unlikely. They would've said so in last night's statement. I reckon Sven will be announced on Monday alongside the new Head of Football's introduction.

From the names you suggested earlier in the thread, Labaddia and Anfang would be in my top 3 in addition to Wolf.
Out of the three I’d say Labaddia is the safest bet because of his vast experience and adaptability but if you want someone a bit out there, then Anfang is the guy. The football he plays is very pure and quite interesting tactically (the full backs become the two defensive midfielders in possession). Hannes Wolf is in the middle of the two, plays good football and is open to different set-ups and systems.

What I saw was in the build up to wolf v tedesco and what was suggested was very similar playing philosophies but different interpretations of it, with tedesco being more attacking whilst wolf was more structured in his approach
RE: Town v Fulham - on t' telly again! - WBA-Josh - 17-08-2019
I think Wolf’s football is more pure than Tedesco. Tedesco’s Schalke could play many styles and systems and played some good football but what was always there was an ability to, if needed, play more direct long-ball and sometimes they relied upon it. They didn’t always need to try to play through teams.
With Wolf, his teams have always kept a pureness about their play. Even when he changed Stuttgart from an attacking, control the match team that won promotion to a defensive counter-attacking team in the Bundesliga, they still tried to play good football through their wingers. Then he went to Hamburg and played a style that would make even Guardiola say, “you’re passing the ball too much”.
Anyway, I’m not sure if you’ll be able to entice Tedesco to the club anyway. Champions League to Championship is a big drop down. We were linked with Labaddia in the summer and spoke formally with him twice before we went with Slaven Bilic so he is open to the Championship and Wolf was linked with Leeds before Bielsa came along so those two are probably the most realistic options if you want to continue with the German approach.

And so we drop into familiar territory. The bottom three.
RE: Town v Fulham - on t' telly again! - Lord Snooty - 18-08-2019
Anyway, one of the daftest things Jan did on Friday was when he brought Mounie for Kachunga, he moved Grant to the wing. So even though we were chasing the game, we still only had one in the box when attacking.
Mounie won a header from a long punt and there wasn't anyone within twenty yards of him. I do hope the new manager goes to playing two up front. Don't think we've had a decent attacking partnership since Novak and Rhodes.
And as for Fulham. On paper, they probably have the best squad in the division. But they looked poor. Apart from us gifting them a goal and then a wonder strike (from yet another player we failed to sign), they offered little much else.
Now is that because we defended well? Good game management by them?

As a spectacle it was no better than QPR last weekend. Two sides who still have the jitters from last season. Whoever we bring in should hopefully have more of a clue than Jan has exhibited since he got here and will either entertain us with attacking football, (don't yet see the Kindon, Robins, Fletcher equivalents up front) or make us more solid at the back. Even Big/Fat Sam could improve us back there again right now and we've at least one lad up front that can score. Still wouldn't want him mind, or Pulis.

Mitrovic won't be getting any retrospective punishment for play acting. The referee saw it and dealt with it at the time (by totally ignoring it). The only way the FA would step in would be if Fulham gained an advantage. So if Rajiv had gotten sent off.
Pathetic!
