The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.
The Elite Coaches award shows he is highly regarded by our own FA, and this level of attainment is very difficult to accomplish.
His achievements have been exceptional with the limited resources he has had access to, which is not dissimilar to the situation here.
He wants to develop the players and youth, without heading straight for the chairman's cheque book. An excellent approach which is needed here.
He has shown great adaptability, coaching abroad in different countries and within different cultures.
Wants to remembered alongside Sir Alf Ramsey and Sir Bobby Robson. This suggests he is aiming to be here for a significant period of time and build a legacy.
The point that he hasn't managed here before is a moot one, as his track record suggests he will acclimatise to the rigours of the Championship.
He wants to come here and the interview indicates he doesn't want to be under the radar anymore.
This appointment appears to be a very natural fit - let's hope Marcus announces this, either today in the coming days/weeks.
I was happy that Shefki Kuqi threw his hat in the ring and applied for the job, but I believe Gary White is a better candidate.
Gary White's Blue And White Army anyone? |  | | |  |

whilst the interview he said the right things talk is cheap.
He might end up being a great appointment, but let's face it, you probably had never heard of him last week.. |  | | |

Far better option than Shefki.
And the ME interview teasers suggest we will try something different... whether it will be something this different remains to be seen. |  |

Something different? I reckon it'll be Cherie Lunghi. |  |

He'd bring Lancaster with him, his assistant at Taiwan. Also on the elite coaches programme. this sounds like the sexy, thinking out of the box appointment we need. Ipswich Town - Made in Taiwan.
While the Taiwan national team, who have won five of their first six matches under Gary White, are the current beneficiaries of White and Lancaster’s experience. Most of the other course members are either working with the FA directly at youth or under-17 level, or at Premier League clubs or academies such as Liverpool, Newcastle United, and Burnley, and have been instrumental in helping develop England’s next generation of stars.
Lancaster, who coached Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho for three seasons while he was at Watford working with their academy’s elite players, says the course helped him flip his thinking into ‘’preparing the player for the pathway, not prepare the pathway for the player’’. He says that while the manager might pick the team, the work behind-the-scenes is helping develop England’s elite young players like Sancho by creating the right environment and mentoring these young players so they make the right choices. The things that Lancaster and his peers learned on the course was one of the factors that is helping produce the kind of players that helped England have not just it’s most successful year ever in youth football in 2017, but the most successful year of any nation in the world at that level. |  | | |

I think your point about development is going to strike a chord with many here.
If we do go for someone with minimal Championship experience there may be a need for someone to sit 'upstairs'.
Half the problem is the managers network and reputation.
Look at Klug. When he came back from Spurs he had built a network there and could tap into it for loans and transfers. Same with MM.
A new manager without a network could be good as they wouldn't fall back to old players (Ellington anyone) to rekindle long lost magic.
I'm torn between the excitement of risk and the balance of an older lag.
I can say that I'm chuffed it's not my money at stake. ME has my respect for what he does. |  |

TBF, your point is valid. However, coaching badges in 3 or 4 different countries and Elite Coaching awards are not gained without a great level of hard work, determination, expertise and desire.
Every team he has managed has had an improvement, and often one that is vast...
Sky did a piece on him last year, but at the time, I had thought of him as someone whom would work their way to the England job through a less conventional route. The fact that he is in the mix for our job is fantastic - we should grab him before someone else does! | | | |

im not dismissing him, that would be foolish but those teams he has managed will have probably had a very low base to build from so it's a testament that he has improved them through coaching etc.
It's a big step up, my worry is players will dismiss him as they haven't heard of him. | | | |

He's had less than a year as a club manager in his career and has never played or coached at any level over here. He's got lots of badges but then so have the Scouts. He'd be one of the bigger gambles and would need a DoF working above him for sure. It'd be an interesting risk to take but he's miles from being the logical choice. | |

Development here is crucial, without millions to spend we have to nurture our own players into the first team. | | | |
