… to the Athletic
And whilst Maddison and Harvey Barnes are expected to leave, younger real talent could stay to work with new coach… see below
I do think Maresca is going to have to have a very steep learning curve to get the challenges of the championship. But as the new Burnley coach found - and hopefully McKenna can replicate - if you stick to the principles of good technical football, you can succeed in the championship
“With his background in coaching Manchester City’s under-23s, Maresca likes to work with younger players he can mould and develop. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Luke Thomas and Hamza Choudhury will all be looking to benefit from his coaching and there will also be an opportunity for centre-back Ben Nelson, who has returned from last season’s lower-divisions loans at Rochdale and Doncaster Rovers. Maresca loves his players to be versatile, and the 19-year-old Nelson is a ball-playing defender adept at stepping into midfield.” | |

Aha, so Duff went to Swansea, not Sheff Wed. Quite a few on OwlStalk will be disappointed/concerned about who they might actually end up with.. |  |

Sounds like we could get some really good football played in the Champ this coming season. | |

I’m sure we will see some good football - alongside the usual stuff.
It’s always an interesting time of year and there’s an assumption that when clubs make changes and bring players and managers it’ll bring improvement.
As well we know, that doesn’t always work and not every new coach is better than the last. I like Michael Duff and given his success to date, he in theory should succeed at Swansea. But as with Cook here, he may be the wrong fit. Leicester’s new manager relying on younger players? Who’s to say he and they will be good enough? Probably, but there are no guarantees.
I think the stability we have at the moment is a real asset. Wherever we are standards wise against these teams, we have a good base to build on. Better that than the shambles at Leeds, no players at Plymouth and the chaos at Wednesday.
I can’t recall looking forward to a season more since the George Burley days. |  | | |

I was thinking primarily about the style aspired to, given tha ages, backgrounds and mentalities of some of the managers - Maresca, McKenna, Schumacher, Duff. It may not all work out for them, but the potential for good quality football is there. | |

I'd completely forgotten about Hamza Choudhury, wonder if he'll finally get a regular spot in the Leicester side |  |

Problem Duff will get to start with Swansea need a hundred passes to get to half way line, he will need to make them a bit more direct.
Watch Southampton have a lot of the ball but will they be toothless. | | | |

Have to say, I watched a fair bit of the Champ last season.
It was very interesting, quite a few games we not that much better in terms of style/ approach to what we saw in L1. Even from teams that were towards the middle/ top of the Championship. Some of the matches were not very easy on the eye at all.
There def were some where the football being played was very good but I'd say that was in the minority.
You maybe right that this season might be a tad different though. |  |
