Did a good job at Malaga too from what I've read.

Took over 'broken and chaotic' clubs both times and steadied things is how it's put. Malaga especially were picked apart and relying on the kids at the time and he got them to mid-table. That's exactly what we need at the moment.

I enjoyed this article from when he was at Watford.
https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/foo ... 57556.html

Talks about how he's very analytical and he spends most his of his time plotting and planning in his office. Deflects all praise to his staff and players. He believes having players that have a connection to the city is vital to success - whether it be by birth or by an extended period at the club.
Says he's a humble man but also demands respect.

He's got heaps of experience as a player and as a manager in lots of different leagues around the world, including prem experience.

Got a good feeling about this dude.


Hopefully this goes down as Ortas second good decision.

Having read and watched a load about him starting think the club have panicked and accidentally done something good like with Gnonto.

I'm probably wrong but in recent years, I think Hockaday was the only worse manager than Marsch.
Even that is debatable.

Bloody hell not sure. Christensen, darko, hecky, we've had some right shite! Marsch did "keep us up" but this season has been a disaster.
