How would we have any idea what Round does or doesn't do?Fergie said he wanted coaches to challenge him. Rene clearly did as discussed in champions league final. I felt Querioz, McClaren and Kidd did that too.
I don't get that with Round and the old man. Thing is there not many standout coaches available. We'd have to wait four years for Pep. A lot of the good coaches like Van Gaal, Hiddink and Capelli are approaching the end of their careers. Even Heynekes.
Two standout candidates are though Klopp and for me Simeone. Simeone has achieved more in his short spell than Moyes has in 14 years as Manager. Could say that about AVB. Pretty sure Moyes was linked with Spurs job and they chose AVB last season .
Simeone would have been a great appointment, what he's done is a genuine example of improving a team to the extent of deserving a shot at the big time, not what Moyes did at Everton.
If we want consistent success we're probably going to have to get the "must stay for 20+ years" idea out our heads pretty sharpish. Turning our noses up at Van Gaal for example because he's 62 would be laughable.
