It doesn't matter who is the manager, the system of English football is all wrong.

Our future talents will get loaned out to learn their trade in a lower standard of football, when they should be learning their trade at the top level.

Instead of loaning players out, they should bring back a reserves league, which keeps the future talents at the top clubs, and gives them a pathway into first team football at the top level.

The job's a poison chalice, if I was a manager I wouldn't go anywhere near it.

Think this is why they've introduced the U23s to the EFL Cup, but I agree that more needs to be done than this. The Reserves leagues in Spain, France and Germany seem to be coveted a lot more than it is here, too, and there's of course the media problem (have to wonder how possible it is to build a team and morale when every rag is telling everyone how awful we are, how overpaid they are, how much of a shagger they are, etc.)
