Bournemouth, Brentford, Brighton (all the B clubs) have quality managers.
Wolves and West Ham like wise.
Clubs with sensible owners are prepared to 'Take a Punt' like the old guard of muppets who own clubs. The clowns who think hiring Lamps or good Old Brucey Cabbage will sort the lads right out.
Players don't respond to reputation any more, they want a manager who is going focus on developing their career. Sport science, metrics, personal development has filtered down through the lower leagues and players, whilst respecting another pro's playing career isn't going to blindly go along like the old days.
They want to know the man in the chair has a proper tactical and technical plan. They want to run drills and scenarios in training.
Not just 'a quick game of head tennis, shooting practice and hit the showers to Cabbage Heed can scarper to his Portugese Villa asap.'
