Paul Cook's teams play very good football, that's for sure. I remember seeing his Wigan team and even though they were up against it (resources wise) in the Championship they were still an attractive and competitive side considering their lack of funds. Karl Robinson's not a bad shout either - another one who believes in good passing football.

That said, nobody would have called the last two appointments of Burchnall and Williams. Our owners have the ability to spot talent in places where other clubs aren't even looking. Another "leftfield" choice wouldn't surprise me (well actually it would, otherwise it wouldn't be "leftfield", but you get what I mean! )
