yeah, good point
raises kind of interesting challenge for their Board, doesn't it. They'll have their pick of decent list of candidates. But do they go for someone with premier league experience - who, by definition will also be someone who's failed? (otherwise presumably they wouldn't be available)
or do they go for someone who's been successful in the championship and hasn't failed anywhere (but therefore has never managed at the top level)
or do they go for an overseas coach who's only has success, but has only had it in a league with less money than the prem
would guess the third most likely? Unless there's an obvious championship possibility I'm missing
