Stimac is an interesting call. Very much a "**** or bust" type of an appointment. The odds are stacked against him succeeding given that he has been out of touch with the UK football scene and in particular the championship for years: hence recruitment from the lower leagues would be guesswork at best BUT he might well be able to tap into the Croatian talent pool and find some cheap gems.

If he can achieve that, we at least know that the Croatian game is in reasonably good order - they are more successful than England have been at least! That may not say much, but it could support a conjecture that their lower top flight teams are better than our 3rd division etc.

It would be a huge gamble, and probably another case of living on past glories, but consider our options. Find a bog standard mid tier English manager and go fishing with a few quid in Tier 3 or 4 of the English leagues OR take a punt on someone who may be able to fish in overseas leagues where the pound goes further. Overseas recruitment didn't do Wolves a lot of harm last season did it.

It's not really a "personality thing" to me, but rather an interesting (maybe exciting) alternative to a few years in the doldrums, seeing out old contracts on old players with no motivation. Bring in some unknowns under a manager that might be able to find these gems, blend them with our home grown kids. It may all go wrong, but whats the worse that could happen? Relegation? Worse yet, finishing below Forest? If we opt for Clough Mk 2 and 5 years of tearing apart and rebuilding, we may well suffer that fate anyway.

I'd love to see us in the Premiership before I die, so do we twist or do we stick?
